A pure white crystalline compound was found to melt at 112.5-113.0oC when taken on a melting point apparatus, and on further hea

ting, the liquid was found to turn brown at ca. 145-150 oC. The capillary containing the melted compound was set aside to cool, and resolidify. When the sample was retried, using the same capillary the sample melted at 133.6-154.5oC. Why is the melting point higher than 112°, and the range so wide?

According to the question, the determined melting point of the compound is 112.5-113.0oC. When the solidified compound was retried, the melting point was found to be 133.6-154.5oC. This greater range higher than  112°C is caused by reusing samples leads to errors.

A pure sample is known by its sharp melting point. A pure sample does not melt over a large range. We can see this in the predetermined melting points of the pure sample(112.5-113.0oC).

However, reusing a sample introduces errors because the pure sample may become contaminated leading to a larger and higher range of melting point (133.6-154.5oC) which is far above  112°C.

As a gas is compressed in a cylinder, the pressure of the gas
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

As a gas is compressed in a cylinder its pressure

As the compression proceeds the volume of the chamber is decreasing and since mass is same, density increases. Similarly as volume decreases the number of gas molecules colliding with the walls increases as the density increases, so the pressure on the wall also increases.

Determine the number of atoms in 0.075 mol of Carbon (C)? please help
nignag [31]
It would be C, 6.2 x 10^23.

Avogadro's number, or, the mole, is 6.02 x 10^23. Although the grams and molar mass of an element may be different, every element must have the same amount of atoms to obey avogadro's number.

A 500 mL sample of 0.5 M NaOH at 20 C is mixed with an equal volume of 0.5 M HCl at the same temperature in a calorimeter. The t
Pepsi [2]

Answer: Heat of reaction ∆H = -13.43kJ

Explanation:

The number of moles of NaOH = the number of moles of HCL = N

N = concentration × volume= CV = 0.5M × 500mL/1000ml/L

N= 0.5 × 0.5= 0.25mol

Since the Molar enthalpy is given by Hm = -53.72kJ/mol

Heat of reaction ∆H = N×Hm

∆H= 0.25mol × -53.72kJ/mol = -13.43kJ

Heat of reaction ∆H = -13.43kJ

Consider the partial equation. Br2 + NaF --> Which best completes the chemical equation?
balandron [24]

Answer is (1) - no reaction.


<em>Explanation; </em>


Some of you may think this reaction as a single replacement reaction which gives NaBr + F₂ as products.


But, according to the reactivity of the halogens, reactivity decreases from up to bottom of the group. F is placed above Br. Hence, F is more reactive than Br. Hence, Br can't replace F.
