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.

fig. 15 shows a simplified diagram of the electrolysis of a molten electrolyte containing lithium chloride. b. Describe how the
melisa1 [442]

During the electrolysis of the molten lithium chloride, the Lithium ions (Li⁺) at the cathode undergoes reduction, and the electron configuration of lithium becomes 1s²2s¹.

<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>

Electrolysis can be described as the process in which the electric current is passed through the chemical compound to break them.  In this process, the atoms and ions are interchanged by the addition or removal of electrons.

The ions are allowed to move freely in this process. When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water then ions are produced which can move freely.

During the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride, the lithium ions reach the cathode and accept the electrons while chloride ions reach at anode and loss electrons to become chlorine gas.

At anode :  2 Cl⁻ →    Cl₂ + 2e⁻

At cathode:   2 Li⁺   +   2e⁻  →  Li

For the balanced equation shown below, how many moles of o2 will react with 0.3020 moles of co2? 2c2h5oh + 6o2 → 4co2 + 6h2o que
MariettaO [177]
The balanced reaction for combustion is as follows ;
2C₂H₅OH + 6O₂ ---> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
the stoichiometry of C₂H₅OH to O₂ is 2:6
that means 2 mol of C₂H₅OH reacts with 6 mol of O₂.
when 1 mol of C₂H₅OH reacts with 6/2 mol of O₂,
then 0.3020 mol of C₂H₅OH reacts with - 6/2 x 0.3020
therefore number of O₂ moles reacted = 0.91 mol

Ethanol has a density of 0.789 g/cm3. What is the mass of 423 cm3 of ethanol? M = (D)(V)
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 334 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of ethanol = 423 cm³

density = 0.789 g/cm³

So we have

mass = 0.789 × 423 = 333.747

We have the final answer as

<h3>334 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

During which two minutes time period is the temperature of water changing faster?!
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

2-4 minutes

Explanation:

Fastest changing temperature means larger change in temperature when subtracting final temperature from initial temperature in a given time period (given time period is 2 minutes for all the options)

For 0-2 minutes, our final temperature was 40 (at 2 min) and initial temperature was  20 (at 0 min), thus temperature change was only 20 C.

For 2-4, our final temperature was 80 (at 4 min) and initial temperature was   40 (at 2 min) thus temperature change was 40 C.

For 4-6, our final temperature was 100 (at 6 min) and initial temperature was   80 (at 4 min) thus temperature change was 20 C.

We are not given temperature at 8 min so option D is invalid.

As we can clearly see that in a given 2 minute period, option B has the fastest change because it changed 40C when compared to other options that changed only 20C from starting temperature.

Hope that makes sense.
