Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kherson [118]3 years ago
3 0
The factor that is generally responsible for higher melting point is intermolecular forces. The compounds that are covalent in nature are made of molecules rather than ions. It has been seen that some of the covalent compounds have polar molecules at one end, due to which the one end has more electronegative force than the other. The electrostatic force that is bounding the compound is the main cause of higher melting point of this compound.  So it is true that with the increase of polarity of a compound creates higher melting point. .. hope I helped

Aluminum reacts with sulfur gas to produce aluminum sulfide. a) What is the limiting reactant? What is the excess reagent? b) Ho
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a) Limiting: sulfur. Excess: aluminium.

b) 1.56g Al₂S₃.

c) 0.72g Al

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the initial mass of both aluminium and sulfur are missing, therefore, one could assume they are 1.00 g for each one. Thus, by considering the undergoing chemical reaction turns out:

2Al(s)+3S_2(g)\rightarrow 2Al_2S_3(s)\\

a) Thus, considering the assumed mass (which could be changed based on the one you are given), the limiting reagent is identified as shown below:

n_S^{available}=1.00gS_2*\frac{1molS_2}{64gS_2} =0.0156molS_2\\n_S^{consumed\ by \ Al}=1.00gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}*\frac{3molS_2}{2molAl}=0.0556molS_2

Thereby, since there 1.00g of aluminium will consume 0.0554 mol of sulfur but there are just 0.0156 mol available, the limiting reagent is sulfur and the excess reagent is aluminium.

b) By stoichiometry, the produced grams of aluminium sulfide are:

m_{Al_2S_3}=0.0156molS_2*\frac{2molAl_2S_3}{3molS_2} *\frac{150gAl_2S_3}{1molAl_2S_3} =1.56gAl_2S_3

c) The leftover is computed as follows:

m_{Al}^{excess}=(0.0556-0.0156)molS_2*\frac{2molAl}{3molS_2}*\frac{27gAl}{1molAl} =0.72 gAl\\

NOTE: Remember I assumed the quantities, they could change based on those you are given, so the results might be different, but the procedure is quite the same.

Best regards.

What is the number of valence electrons that most atoms prefer?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: 8 electrons

Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.

Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.

Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.
