Why sulphur has two melting point values

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fofino [41]2 years ago
8 0

I don't know how well known/accepted this is (it's in my textbook so I'm guessing it's right), but Sulphur has two forms - the alpha and beta forms ,apparently gamma sulphur exists as well.

The alpha form is rhombic, yellow in color and has a MP of 385.8 K. The beta form is colorless and has a MP of 393 K and is formed by melting rhombic sulphur and cooling it till a crust forms on top. Poke a hole and pour out the liquid inside and you get beta sulphur. The transition point is 369K - below it, alpha sulphur is stable and above it, beta sulphur is stable. Both have helped. I had to pull out an old textbook and that's something that I don't usually do.

A car is traveling at 15kph and speeds up to 30kph in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

the acceleration is 3 k/h/s

Explanation:

The formula for acceleration is Δv/t, so change in velocity divided by time.

The original velocity is 15 kph, and the final velocity is 30 kph. Therefore, the change in velocity is 15 kph. 15/5=3 k/h/s
