Which statement best compares the melting points of magnesium and sodium?

a
Magnesium has a higher melting point because it contributes one additional electron per atom than sodium in the electron sea.
b
Sodium has a higher melting point because it contributes one fewer electron per atom than magnesium in the electron sea.
c
Sodium has a higher melting point because it contributes two fewer electrons per atom than magnesium in the electron sea.
d
Magnesium has a higher melting point because it contributes two additional electrons per atom than sodium in the electron sea.

Answers

Answer 1

A because according to electron sea theory magnesium shares two valence electrons in electron sea while sodium shares one suggesting that magnesium has stronger metallic bond than sodium so breaking metallic bond in magnesium will require more energy as compared to breaking metallic bond in sodium

Answer 2

The melting point of magnesium is higher than the melting point of sodium because it contributes two additional electrons per atom than sodium in the electron sea. Thus option d is correct.

What is melting point?

Melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it converts from solid state to liquid state where, the two phases are in equilibrium. Melting point is affected by the bond type, molecular weight, temperature and pressure.

Melting point of elements increases along a period because the atomic size is decreasing along the period and molecular weight is increasing. Thus, the nuclear attractive pull increases resulting in higher energy needed to break the attractive force.

Magnesium is 12th element and sodium is 11th element. Thus magnesium is smaller than sodium and have one more electron than sodium. Thus magnesium have high molecular weight and high nuclear attraction leads to its higher melting point.

A chemist analyzes two samples. One sample contains 14g of element x and 6.0 g of element y. The second sample contains 28 g of element x and samples are the same substance

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Here's the complete question:

A chemist analyzes two samples.One sample contains 14g of element x and 6.0g of element y.The second sample contains 28g of element x and 6.0g of element y. Does it appear that the two samples are the same substance?

The two samples that we are given in the question are different. They are not the same thing because we can deduce that their components ratio are different.

Sample One contains 14g of element x and 6.0g of element y. The ratio of element x to y is 14/6 = 7/3 = 7:3.

Sample Two contains 28g of element x and 6.0g of element y. The ratio of element x to y is 28/6 = 14/3 = 14:3.

Therefore, they have different ratio for their components and are therefore not thesame.

If 276 g of dinitrogen tetroxide and 64.0 g of hydrazine are mixed, how many grams of nitrogen gas can you produce?

Answers

Answer:

84 g of N₂        

Explanation:

We begin from the reaction:

N₂O₄  +  2N₂H₄ →  3N₂  + 4H₂O

  1st step: Find out the limiting reactant.

We convert the mass to moles.

       276 g . 1mol/ 92g = 3 moles of N₂O₄

64 g . 1mol / 32g = 2 moles of hidrazine  

Limiting reactant is the hydrazine. Ratio is 1:2, then for 3 moles of tetroixde I may need 6 moles of N₂H₄. (But I only have 2).

To determine the grams of produced nitrogen we see stoichiometry (2:3)    

2 moles of hydrazine can produce 3 moles of N₂

Definetaly our 2 moles make 3 moles of gas.

We convert the moles to mass.

3 mol . 28g /1mol = 84 g of N₂

When silver nitrate (AgNO3) dissolves in water, the temperature of the solution decreases.

Answers

Answer:

The enthalpy of solution for AgNO3 is positive because the temperature of the solution decreases (the dissolution is endothermic). Hsol = Hsolute + Hsolvent + HmixHsolute and Hsolvent are endothermic because energy is required to overcome intermolecular forces and separate solute and solvent particles.

Answer:

the enthalpy of solution for agno3 is positive because the temperature of the solution decreases. (the dissolution is endothermic.)

Delta H sol=delta HSolute +delta H solvent +delta H mix

HSolute and H solvent are endothermic because energy is required to overcome intermolecular forces and separate solute and solvent particles.

H mix is exothermic because energy is released when intermolecular forces form between solute and solvent particles.

if the overall enthalpy of solution is positive, then HSolute + H solvent must be larger in magnitude than H mix.

Answers

The effects of supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) on the microbiological, sensory (taste, odour, and colour), nutritional (vitamin C content), and physical (cloud, total acidity, pH, and °Brix) qualities of orange juice were studied. The CO2 treatment was performed in a 1 litre capacity double-walled reactor equipped with a magnetic stirring system. Freshly extracted orange juice was treated with supercritical CO2, pasteurised at 90°C, or left untreated. There were no significant differences in the sensory attributes and physical qualities between the CO2 treated juice and freshly extracted juice. The CO2 treated juice retained 88% of its vitamin C, while the pasteurised juice was notably different from the fresh juice and preserved only 57% of its vitamin C content. After 8 weeks of storage at 4°C, there was no microbial growth in the CO2 treated juice.

61.9%
201.2%
262.5%

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ 38.1 \%}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Percent yield is the ratio of the amount actually produced to how much could theoretically be produced. It is found using this formula:

[tex]\% \ yield = \frac{actual \ yield}{theoretical \ yield} *100[/tex]

For this reaction, the theoretical or expected yield is 325.0 grams. The actual yield is 123.8 grams.

[tex]\% \ yield = \frac{ 123.8 \ g }{325.0 \ g }*100[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]\% \ yield = 0.380923077 *100[/tex]

[tex]\% \ yield = 38.0923077[/tex]

Round to the nearest hundredth. The 9 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 0 to a 1 .

[tex]\% \ yield \approx 38.1[/tex]

The percent yield is about 38.1%

If the point of the nail can be approximated as a circle with a radius 2.00×10^-3m What is the pressure in MPa exerted on the wall if a hammer strikes the nail with a force of 104 N

Answers

Answer:

8.28 MPa

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Radius (r) = 2×10¯³ m

Force applied (F) = 104 N

Pressure (P) =?

Next, we shall determine the area of the nail (i.e circle). This can be obtained as follow:

Radius (r) = 2×10¯³ m

Area (A) of circle =?

Pi (π) = 3.14

A = πr²

A = 3.14 × (2×10¯³)²

A = 3.14 × 4×10¯⁶

A = 1.256×10¯⁵ m²

Next, we shall determine the pressure. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied (F) = 104 N

Area (A) = 1.256×10¯⁵ m²

Pressure (P) =?

P = F / A

P = 104 / 1.256×10¯⁵

P = 8280254.78 Nm¯²

Finally, we shall convert 8280254.78 Nm¯² to MPa. This can be obtained as follow:

1 Nm¯² = 1×10¯⁶ MPa

Therefore,

8280254.78 Nm¯² = 8280254.78 Nm¯² × 1×10¯⁶ MPa / 1 Nm¯²

8280254.78 Nm¯² = 8.28 MPa

Thus, the pressure exerted on the wall is 8.28 MPa

Answers

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Choose the aqueous solution that has the highest boiling point. These are all solutions of nonvolatile solutes and you should assume ideal van't Hoff factors where applicable. 0.100 m C6H12O6 0.100 m AlCl3 0.100 m NaCl 0.100 m MgCl2 They all have the same boiling point.

Answer:

AlCl3 0.100 m

Explanation:

Let us remember that the boiling point elevation is given by;

ΔTb = Kb m i

Where;

ΔTb = boiling point elevation

Kb = boiling point constant

m = molality of the solution

i = Van't Hoff factor

We can see from the question that all the solutions possess the same molality, ΔTb now depends on the value of the Van't Hoff factor which in turn depends on the number of particles in solution.

AlCl3 yields four particles in solution, hence ΔTb is highest for AlCl3 . The solution having the highest value of ΔTb also has the highest boiling point.
