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.

Calculate δg∘rxn and e∘cell for a redox reaction with n = 3 that has an equilibrium constant of k = 4.4×10−2. you may want to re
lapo4ka [179]
a) First, to get ΔG°rxn we have to use this formula when:

ΔG° = - RT ㏑ K 

when ΔG° is Gibbs free energy 

and R is the constant = 8.314 J/mol K

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25 °C+ 273 =  298 K 

and when K = 4.4 x 10^-2

so, by substitution:

ΔG°= - 8.314 * 298 *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)

      = -7739 J  = -7.7 KJ


b) then, to get E
° cell for a redox reaction we have to use this formula:

ΔE° Cell = (RT / nF) ㏑K

when R is a constant = 8.314 J/molK

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25°C + 273 = 298 K

and n = no.of moles of e- from the balanced redox reaction= 3

and F is Faraday constant = 96485 C/mol

and K = 4.4 x 10^-2

so, by substitution:

∴ ΔE° cell = (8.314 * 298 / 3* 96485) *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)

              = - 2.7 x 10^-2 V

4. The picture shows a full moon.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

A full moon occurs when the Moon appears as a complete circle in the sky.

Explanation:

- We see it as a full orb because the whole of the side of the Moon facing the Earth is lit up by the Sun's rays.

- The moon shows no visible light of its own, so we only see the parts of the moon that are lit up by other objects.
