Answer:

In a pure metal, the force needed to make the layers slide over each other is small. This explains why many pure metals are soft. ... The smaller or bigger atoms distort the layers of atoms in the pure metal. This means that a greater force is required for the layers to slide over each other.

On a mission to a newly discovered planet, an astronaut finds copper abundances of 69.15 % for 63cu and 30.85 % for 65cu. what i

The relative atomic mass is the weighted average mass of elements relative to 1/12th the mass of a 12-C atom.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different masses , in other words different numbers of neutrons.
Relative atomic mass =sum of (mass x percentage )
R.a.m = 62.9300 x 69.15% + 64.9200 x 30.85%
= 43.52 + 20.03
= 63.55 amu

An aqueous CsCl solution is 8.00 wt% CsCl and has a density of 1.0643 g/mL at 20°C. What is the boiling point of this solution?

umka2103 [35]

Answer: The boiling point of solution is 100.53

Explanation:

We are given:

8.00 wt % of CsCl

This means that 8.00 grams of CsCl is present in 100 grams of solution

Mass of solvent = (100 - 8) g = 92 grams

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

$\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}$

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_b=iK_bm$

Or,

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}=i\times K_b\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Boiling point of pure solution = 100°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 2 (For CsCl)

$K_b$ = molal boiling point elevation constant = 0.51°C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (CsCl) = 8.00 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (CsCl) = 168.4 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = 92 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-100=2\times 0.51^oC/m\times \frac{8.00\times 1000}{168.4g/mol\times 92}\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=100.53^oC$

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 100.53

Which of the following reactions takes place with an increase in entropy under standard conditions?a. NH4(aq)+ CH3COO-(aq) ---&g

Elden [556K]

Answer:

a. NH4(aq)+ CH3COO-(aq) ---> NH3 (aq) +CH3COOH(aq)

Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase .

When liquid is converted to solid entropy decreases,

As the molecules in liquid state are loosely packed and has less force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to solid, the force of attraction between the molecule increases and hence entropy decreases.

Hence ,

The order of entropy is -

gas > aqueous > liquid > gas .

Hence, from the question ,

The reaction where there is increase in entropy is -

a. NH₄(aq)⁺ + CH₃COO⁻(aq) ---> NH₃ (aq) + CH₃COOH(aq)

Which of these best explains what happens when ice melts to form liquid water?

iVinArrow [24]

Since the question says “these” I assume it was multiple choice...but anyways, intermolecular forces between some of the water molecules are breaking apart. The H2O is going from a tightly packed solid of a fixed volume to a liquid with molecules moving faster and less bonds, which can take the shape of its container. It requires energy to break a bond, so this is an endothermic process.
