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.

Which of the following pairs contains a conjugate acid-base pair?
zzz [600]
Remember that a conjugate acid-base pair will differ only by one proton. 
None of the options you listed are conjugate acid-base pairs as none of them differ only by one proton (or H⁺)
An example of a conjugate acid-base pair would be NH₃ and NH₄⁺NH₃ + H₂O --> NH₄⁺ + OH⁻NH3 is the base, and NH₄⁺ is the conjugate acid

What part of the atom determines if it will combine or break apart from other substances?
anzhelika [568]

<em>Answer:</em>

  • The atom consist of three parts, proton, neutron and electrons. The electrons determine that i will combine or beak from other substances.

<em>Explanation:</em>

The atom consist of three parts which are following

  • proton
  • neutron
  • electron

The proton and neutron form nucleus of an atom. It is present at center of an atom. They have positive charges, while electrons remained outside the nucleus in particular energy levels or shell around the nucleus.

During combination or breaking of substances ,only arrangements of electrons take place. The valence shell electrons decide whether they have to combine or not, while nucleus remained unchanged during any reactions.

Lead has a density of 11.29 g/mL. If you had 186 g of lead, what would its volume be?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
I think you just do 11.29 multiplied by 186 since to find density you divide mass by volume. So 186 divided by x is 11.29. So in conclusion the volume would be 2,099.94mL
