Why sulphur has two melting point values

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fofino [41]3 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.

What happens to the pressure if the gas volume is cut in half while n and I are<br> held constant?
N76 [4]

Answer: You can use Boyle's law, which states that pressure is inversely related to volume when other variables are held constant. If the final pressure of a gas is half of the initial, the volume must double if temperature is to remain the same.

jekas [21]

The difference between the outer covering of plants and animals is that plant cell has cellulose cell wall while animal cell is surrounded by a cell membrane

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell is the structural and functional unit of an organism which is capable of existing alone as it contains organelles that perform specific functions.

The plant cell is covered by a rigid cell wall which contains cellulose as its outer covering.

The animal cell contains not cellulose cell wall at its out covering but instead it is covered by a cell membrane.

Therefore, the difference between the outer covering of plants and animals is that plant cell has cellulose cell wall while animal cell is surrounded by a cell membrane.
