Answer:
C.Melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. The one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.
Explanation:
Amorphous solids is one that do not have a fixed melting points but melt over a wide range of temperature due to the irregular shape hence its name. Contrariwise crystalline solids, have a fixed and sharp melting point.
This comes in handy to solve the riddle. We can characterise the pair with the melting point property.
Answer is: concentration ammonia is higher than concentration of ammonium ion.
Chemical reaction of ammonia in water: NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻.
Kb(NH₃) = 1,8·10⁻⁵.
c₀(NH₃) = 0,8 mol/L.
c(NH₄⁺) = c(OH⁻) = x.
c(NH₃) = 0,8 mol/L - x.
Kb = c(NH₄⁺) · c(OH⁻) / c(NH₃).
0,000018 = x² / 0,8 mol/L - x.
solve quadratic equation: x = c(NH₄⁺) = 3,79·10⁻³ mol/L.
Increasing the concentration of one or more reactants will often increase the rate of reaction. This occurs because a higher concentration of a reactant will lead to more collisions of that reactant in a specific time period.
Reaction rate increases with concentration, as described by the rate law and explained by collision theory. As reactant concentration increases, the frequency of collision increases. The rate of gaseous reactions increases with pressure, which is, in fact, equivalent to an increase in concentration of the gas.
D. It has almost no hydrogen ions, therefore it is very basic.
