Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?

1 answer:

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

When the equation Sn + HNO₃ → SnO₂ + NO₂ + H₂O is balanced in acidic solution, what is the smallest whole-number coefficient for

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction we first assign the oxidation state for each species:

$Sn^0 + H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 + N^{4+}O^{2-}_2 + H^+_2O^-$

Whereas the half reactions are:

$Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O$

Next, we exchange the transferred electrons:

$1\times(Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-)\\\\4\times (H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O)\\\\\\Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +4e^-\rightarrow 4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

Afterwards, we add them to obtain:

$Sn^0+2H_2O+4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$

By adding and subtracting common terms we obtain:

$Sn^0+4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+2H_2O$

Finally, by removing the oxidation states we have:

$Sn + 4HNO_3 \rightarrow SnO_2 + 4NO_2 + 2H_2O$

Therefore, the smallest whole-number coefficient for Sn is 1.

Regards.

How do I solve the following word problem: The half-life of Phosphorus - 32 is 14.3 days. It is used to study a plant's use of f

BaLLatris [955]

Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.

We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:

$A=A_o\times2^{(-\frac{t}{t_{half}})_{}_{}}$

A is the resulting amount after t time

Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg

t= Elapsed time

t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days

We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample

$A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-t}{14.3}}$

That would be the answer for a)

To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:

$\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-84}{14.3}} \\ A=0.85\text{ mg} \end{gathered}$

So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg

When explaining about structural classifications to a group of students, the instructor discusses the peptides and proteins. The

stepladder [879]

Answer:

There are approximately 200 amino acids.

Explanation:

Proteins are usually larger than peptides. In addition, proteins contains amino acids which are about 50 and more than while the amino acids in peptides are just between 2 and 50. On the other hand, growth hormone which is also known as somatotropin is a type of peptide cell regeneration, growth, and reproduction. The number of amino acids in the growth hormones are approximately 200.
