Answer:

Due to molecular structures.

Explanation:

The different forms of phosphorus (white, black or red) are allotropes of phosphorus.

They differ in molecular structures.

White phosphorus: It has four phosphorus which form a tetrahedral shape.

Black phosphorus : It has orthorhombic structure and due to interlinked six membered rings, it is least reactive.

Red phosphorus: It is formed on heating white phosphorus. It is initially amorphus and turns crystalline on further heating.

Balance the following reaction and use the equation to calculate the ΔHrxn. C3H8(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g) Round your answer
gladu [14]

The reaction corresponds to the combustion of propane (C3H8). The balanced reaction is:

C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

The reaction enthalpy is given as:

ΔHrxn = ∑nΔH°f(products) - ∑ nΔH°f(reactants)

          = [3ΔH°f(CO2(g)) + 4ΔH°f(H2O(g)] - [1ΔH°f(C3H8(g)) + 5ΔH°f(O2(g)]

          = [3(-393.5) + 4(-241.8)] - [-103.9 + 5(0)] = -2043.8 kJ

The enthalpy for the combustion of propane is -2044 kJ

Consider the chemical equation for the ionization of CH3NH2 in water. Estimate the percent ionization of CH3NH2 in a 0.050 M CH3
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:  The percent ionization of CH_3NH_2 in a 0.050 M CH_3NH_2(aq) solution is 8.9 %

Explanation:

CH_3NH_2+H_2O\rightarrow OH^-+CH_3NH_3^+

 cM                            0             0

c-c\alpha                       c\alpha            c\alpha

So dissociation constant will be:

K_b=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= concentration = 0.050 M and \alpha = degree of ionisation = ?

K_b=4.4\times 10^{-4}

Putting in the values we get:

4.4\times 10^{-4}=\frac{(0.050\times \alpha)^2}{(0.050-0.050\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.089

percent ionisation =0.089\times 100=8.9\%

How do you suppose the Hf (Heat of fusion) for a metal like aluminum would compare to that of water? Why?
garik1379 [7]
  <span>If "hf" is the standard heat of formation, the Hf for Al is zero -- as it is for all elements in their standard state. The standard heat of formation for water is −285.8 kJ/mol. Thank you for posting your question here. I hope the answer helps. </span>

Putting your ear to a wall will allows you to hear the noise the other side better than through the air. (True or False) Explain
Monica [59]

Based on the information given, it should be noted that sound travels through air, and putting your ear to a wall will not allow the person to hear the noise on the other side better. Therefore, it is false.

<h3>How does sound travel?</h3>

It should be noted that when sound is created, the air particles vibrate and collide with each other. The vibrating particles pass the sound through to a person's ear and then vibrate in the eardrum.

Sound travels through air, and putting your ear to a wall will not allow the person to hear the noise on the other side better. In such a case, the noise will be better heard when it travels through the air.

In conclusion, sound needs a medium such as air to travel.
