"The following list of properties is most descriptive of a(n) ______
1. High melting point, conductor of electricity when dissolved in water
2. Low melting point, non-conductor of electric current
3. Malleable, ductile, insoluble in water.
The choices for all 3 are: a) metallic solid b) molecular solid c) ionic solid d) all of these e) none of these f) more than one of these"
1. Ionic solid: Ionic solids are solids that have ionic/electrovalent bonds holding it's constituent molecules together. These bonds are strong bonds that involve the transfer of electrons from one constituent atom (the metal) to another constituent atom (the nonmetal). This strong bond causes the solid to have a high melting and boiling point. Also, when dissolved in water, the constituent atoms (involved in the electron transfer) dissociate to form ions (become charged) and thus easily carry electric charges (i.e conduct electricity).
Examples are Sodium Chloride and Potassium Iodide
2. Molecular solids: These are solids whose constituent molecules are held together by a weak bond/force known as Van der Waal forces. This forces are easily broken down when subjected to heat and thus the molecular solids have a low melting point. Also, these solids do not have carriers of heat or electric charges in them and are thus non-conductors of electric current.
Examples are Ice (frozen water) and sucrose
3. Metallic solids: These of solids made from constituent metal atoms only. The nuclei of these constituent metal atoms have the ability to move past one another without disrupting there metallic bonding; it is for this reason they are malleable and ductile. There constituent atoms however do not dissociate in water and are thus insoluble in water.
Examples are aluminium and copper crystal.

A system receives 425 J of heat from and delivers 425 J of work to its surroundings. What is the change in internal energy of the system (in J)?
Answer:
0 J
Explanation:
Applying,
ΔE = q+w................ Equation 1
Where ΔE = change in internal energy of the system, q = Heat of the system, w = work of the system.
Note: q is positive, while w is negative
From the question,
Given: q = 425 J, w = -425 J
Substitute these values into equation 1
ΔE = 425-425
ΔE = 0 J
Hence the change in internal energy of the system is 0 J
Sometimes in lab we collect the gas formed by a chemical reaction over water . This makes it easy to isolate and measure the amount of gas produced.
Suppose the CO, gas evolved by a certain chemical reaction taking place at 50.0°C is collected over water, using an apparatus something like that in the sketch, and the final volume of gas in the collection tube is measured to be 132. mL. Calculate the mass of CO, that is in the collection tube. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
0.17 g
Explanation:
Since the volume of gas collected is 132 mL, we need to find the number of moles of gas present in 132 mL.
So, number of moles, n = volume of gas, v/molar volume, V
n = v/V where v = 132 mL = 0.132 L and V = 22.4 L
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
n = v/V
n = 0.132 L/22.4 L
n = 0.005893 mol
We then need to calculate the molar mass of CO, M = atomic mass of carbon + atomic mass of oxygen = 12 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 28 g/mol
Also, number of moles of gas, n = m/M where m = mass of CO and M = molar mass of CO
m = nM
m = 0.005893 mol × 28 g/mol
m = 0.165004 g
m ≅ 0.17 g to 2 significant digits
The compound IF5 contains Question 16 options: polar covalent bonds with partial negative charges on the F atoms. ionic bonds. polar covalent bonds with partial negative charges on the I atoms. nonpolar covalent bonds.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The molecule IF5 possesses five I-F polar bonds. However, the presence of polar bonds does not automatically imply that the molecule will be polar.
The geometry of the molecule is very important in determining the polarity of a compound. Since IF5 has a lone pair of electrons, the molecule is bent and as such there is a permanent dipole moment created in the molecule thereby making IF5 polar in nature.

What is an exothermic and endothermic reaction?An exothermic reaction can be described as a thermodynamic chemical reaction that emits energy from the system to its surroundings usually in the form of light, heat, or sound.
While an endothermic reaction can be described as an opposite of an exothermic reaction where the energy gains in the form of heat. In exothermic chemical reactions, the bond energy is transformed into thermal energy.
In exothermic reactions, the reaction happens the form of the kinetic energy of molecules when the energy is released. The release of energy is due to the electronic transition of electrons from one energy level to another.
The burning of gasoline, and water condensation is also an exothermic reaction in which energy is released while ice melting and baking cake is an endothermic reaction.

Answer : The work done for path A and path B is -685.3 J and -478.1 J respectively.
Explanation :
To calculate the work done for path A :
First we have to calculate the moles of the gas.
where,
= initial pressure of gas = 2.57 atm
= initial volume of gas = 3.42 L
n = moles of gas = ?
R = gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K
T = temperature of gas = 298 K
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
According to the question, this is the case of isothermal reversible expansion of gas.
As per first law of thermodynamic,
where,
= internal energy
q = heat
w = work done
As we know that, the term internal energy is the depend on the temperature and the process is isothermal that means at constant temperature.
So, at constant temperature the internal energy is equal to zero.
The expression used for work done will be,
where,
w = work done on the system = ?
n = number of moles of gas = 0.359 mole
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole K
T = temperature of gas = 298 K
= initial volume of gas = 3.42 L
= final volume of gas = 7.39 L
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get :
Thus, the work done of path A is, -685.3 J
To calculate the work done for path B :
The formula used for isothermally irreversible expansion is :
where,
w = work done
= external pressure = 1.19 atm
= initial volume of gas = 3.42 L
= final volume of gas = 7.39 L
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get :
Thus, the work done of path B is, -478.1 J
42 Organic compound may have names ending in -ane, -ene, -ol or -oic acid. How many of these endings indicate the compounds contain double bonds in their molecules? * (1 Point)
Answer: Organic compounds ending with the name (-ene) indicate that the compounds contain double bonds in their molecules.
Explanation:
Organic compounds are those molecules that contains carbon atoms (as their main element), hydrogen and oxygen which are usually present. The presence of numerous organic compounds is due to the following properties of carbon:
--> the exceptional ability of carbon atoms to catenate, that is, to combine with one another to form straight chains, branched chains or ring compounds containing many carbon atoms.
--> The ease with which carbon combines with hydrogen, oxygen, Nitrogen and halogens
--> The ability of carbon atoms to form single, DOUBLE or triple bonds.
The organic compound that has the name ending with -ene are known as the alkenes. The members of the alkene series are formed from the alkanes by the removal of two hydrogen atoms and the introduction of a DOUBLE BOND in the carbon chain. They are named after the corresponding alkanes by changing the -ane ending to -ene.
Note: the systematic name of a compound is formed from the root hydrocarbon by adding a suffix and prefixes to denote the substitution of the hydrogen atoms.
The decomposition of ethyl amine, C2H5NH2, occurs according to the reaction: C2H5NH2(g)⟶C2H4(g)+NH3(g) At 85∘C, the rate constant for the reaction is 2.5 x 10-1 s-1. What is the half-life (in sec) of this reaction?
Answer:
2.772 seconds
Explanation:
Given that;
t1/2 = 0.693/k
Where;
t1/2 = half life of the reaction
k= rate constant
Note that decomposition is a first order reaction since the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of one reactant
t1/2 = 0.693/2.5 x 10-1 s-1
t1/2= 2.772 seconds
5.60g of glyceraldehydes was dissolved in 10ml of a solvent and placed in a 50mm cell if the rotation is 1.74 calculate the specific rotation?
Answer:
6.214 degrees-mL/gdm
Explanation:
The specific rotation α' = α/LC where α = observed rotation, L = length of tube and C = concentration of solution.
Given that α = 1.74, L = length of cell = 50 mm = 0.50 dm and C = m/V where m = mass of glyceraldehyde = 5.60 g and V = volume = 10 ml
So, C = m/V = 5.60 g/10 ml = 0.560 g/ml
Since α' = α/LC
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
α' = α/LC
α' = 1.74/(0.50 dm × 0.560 g/ml)
α' = 1.74/(0.28 gdm/l)
α' = 0.006214 °mL/gdm
α' = 6.214 °mL/gdm
α' = 6.214 degrees-mL/gdm

Write a complete, balanced equation for the following reactions:
a) The combustion of C₆H₁₂O (teachers note: You figure out products).
b) Aqueous ferric iron (III) sulfate plus barium hydroxide (teachers note: You figure out the products).
Answer:
a) C₆H₁₂O + 8.5 O₂ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
b) Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3 Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ 3 BaSO₄ + 2 Fe(OH)₃
Explanation:
a) A combustion is a reaction of a compound with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. The corresponding equation is:
C₆H₁₂O + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O
We will start balancing C atoms by multiplying CO₂ by 6 and H atoms by multiplying H₂O by 6.
C₆H₁₂O + O₂ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
Then, we get the balanced equation by multiplying O₂ by 8.5.
C₆H₁₂O + 8.5 O₂ ⇒ 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
b) This is a double displacement reaction of the general structure:
Salt 1 + Base 1 = Salt 2 + Base 2
The corresponding equation is:
Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaSO₄ + Fe(OH)₃
First, we will balance Fe atoms by multiplying Fe(OH)₃ by 2 and S atoms by multiplying BaSO₄ by 3.
Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ 3 BaSO₄ + 2 Fe(OH)₃
Then, we will get the balanced equation by multiplying Ba(OH)₂ by 3.
Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3 Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ 3 BaSO₄ + 2 Fe(OH)₃

For the following list of acids, rank the acids in strength from weakest acid to strongest acid.
a. FCH2OH
b. F2CHOH
c. CH3OH
d. F3COH
Answer:
CH3OH < FCH2OH < F2CHOH < F3COH
Explanation:
Let us recall that, for a carboxylic acid, the dissociation of the acid yields;
RCOOH ⇄RCOO^- + H^+
The ease of dissociation and release of the hydrogen ion depends on the nature of the group designated R.
When R is is a highly electronegative element, the -I inductive effect causes the hydrogen to become less tightly held by the C-Cl bond.
As the number of electron withdrawing substituents increaseses, the acid ionizes much more and becomes stronger.CH3OH < FCH2OH < F2CHOH < F3COH
Hence, the order of decreasing acid strength is;

How many grams of P4O10 (292.88 g/mol) form when phelpsphorous (P4, 125.52 g/mol) reacts with 16.2 L of O2 (33.472 g/mol) ) at standard temperature and pressure
Answer:
40.5 g of P₄O₁₀ are produced
Explanation:
We state the reaction:
P₄ + 5O₂ → P₄O₁₀
We do not have data from P₄ so we assume, it's the excess reactant.
We need to determine mass of oxygen and we only have volumne so we need to apply density.
Density = mass / volume, so Mass = density . volume
Denstiy of oxygen at STP is: 1.429 g/L
1.429 g/L . 16.2L = 23.15 g
We determine the moles: 23.15 g . 1mol / 33.472g = 0.692 moles
5 moles of O₂ can produce 1 mol of P₄O₁₀
Our 0.692 moles may produce (0.692 . 1)/ 5 = 0.138 moles
We determine the mass of product:
0.138 mol . 292.88 g/mol = 40.5 g

Answer:
[tex]n_{O_2}^{leftover}=7.7mol[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out firstly necessary for us to set up the corresponding chemical equation:
[tex]4Al+3O_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3[/tex]
In such a way, we calculate the moles of aluminum consumed by 13.0 moles of oxygen in the reaction, by applying the 4:3 mole ratio between them:
[tex]n_{Al}=13.0molO_2*\frac{4molAl}{3molO_2} =17.3molAl[/tex]
This means that Al is actually the limiting reactant and oxygen is in excess, for that reason we calculate the moles of oxygen consumed by 7.0 moles of aluminum:
[tex]n_{O_2}=7.0molAl*\frac{3molO_2}{4molAl} =5.3molO_2[/tex]
Thus, the leftover of oxygen is:
[tex]n_{O_2}^{leftover}=13.0mol-5.3mol\\\\n_{O_2}^{leftover}=7.7mol[/tex]
Whereas all the aluminum is assumed to be consumed.

Answer:
An unsaturated solution.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to firstly realize we need to calculate the grams of vanillin in 0.070 moles by using its molar mass of 152.15 g/mol:
[tex]m=0.070mol*\frac{152.15 g}{1mol} =10.65g[/tex]
Thus, since the solubility is 10.65 g per 1 L of solution, we can notice 5.00 g will complete dissolve and produce an unsaturated solution.
Best regards!

Precipitation of an ionic compound will occur upon mixing of desired reagents if the initial ion product is:_______
A) greater than the Ksp
B) equal to the pksp
C) equal to the Ksp
D) less than the Ksp
Answer:
A) greater than the Ksp
Explanation:
Given a solid ionic compound AB, it dissociates in water into its ions, as follows:
AB(s) → A⁺(aq) + B⁻(aq)
At equilibrium, the product of the concentrations of the ions is constant, and it is called Ksp:
AB(s) ⇄ A⁺(aq) + B⁻(aq)
Ksp = [A⁺][B⁻] ⇒ (concentrations at equilibrium)
Upon mixing the reagents for the formation of AB, the compound will precipitate if the initial ion product (Q) is greater than the Ksp. If Q is equal to Ksp, the ions are at equilibrium with the solid compound AB, and if is it less than the Ksp, the ions are soluble and no solid AB is formed yet.
Q = [A⁺][B⁻] ⇒ (initial concentrations)
Q = Ksp ⇒ saturated solution (at equilibrium)
Q< Ksp ⇒ unsaturated solution (ions are soluble)
Q> Ksp ⇒ precipitation of solid compound.
Therefore, the correct option is A) greater than the Ksp
Water put into a freezer compartment in the same refrigerator goes into a state of less molecular disorder when it freezes. Is this an exception to the entropy principle
Answer:
No it is not an exception to this principle
Explanation:
Work was carried out by this compressor to reduce the entropy of ice. What this means is that the ice gave out heat which is as a result of the work that the compressor was putting in. there are violations of this principle
the entropy principle has that the entropy of the universe is always going to be more than 0 (system + surrounding). in this question, the that of the system is negative while that of the surrounding is positive. As the refrigerator was cooling the water, the air outside was getting heated. Outside this refrigerator, the gain in entropy is more than the entropy that was lost in the water.
the entropy of the universe once again is more than 0.

Answer:
The answer is "120 C and 109.5 C".
Explanation:
The carbon atom is hybridized by sp2. This angle of connection thus is 120 degrees. Alkene, specifically both carbons which are in the C=C, are an instance of carbon with sp2 hybridized atom's nucleus. Those three hybridized orbits were linked to certain other atoms forming sigma connections. Its remaining 2p orbital makes a pi link with 2p orbit by the side-overlap of all the other carbon. O is hybridized inside the [-OH] Group. The optimal bond angle therefore is [tex]109.5^{\circ}[/tex].

In a first order reaction 40% of reactant gets converted into product in 30 minutes. The time would it require to convert 75% into product is 81.57 minutes.
What is first order reaction?First order reaction is defined as a chemical reaction in which the concentration of just one ingredient directly affects the pace of the reaction. If the first-order reactant concentration is doubled in these reactions, the reaction rate will likewise double. Chemical reactions classified as first order kinetics have rates of reaction that depend on the molar concentration of one component.
First order reaction = 2.303 / t log a / (a-x)
k = 2.303 / 30 log 100 (100 - 40)
k = 0.0767 log 1.66
k = 0.017 min⁻¹
The time required to convert 75 % product
t = 2.303 / 0.017 log 100 (100 - 75)
t = 135.5 log 4
t = 135.5 x 0.602
t = 81.57 minutes

Determine the molecular formula of a compound if it is composed of 40.92% carbon, 4.58% hydrogen, and 54.50% oxygen. The molar mass is 176.12 g/mol.
A) C3H8O3.
B) CH2O.
C) C2H3O2.
D) C3H4O3.
Answer:
No correct answer listed. See explanation for defense.
Explanation:
Given
C: 40.92% => 40.92g/100wt => (40.92/12)moles C = 3.41 moles O
H: 4.58% => 4.58g/100wt => (4.58/1)moles H = 4.58 moles H
O: 54.50% => 54.5g/100wt => (54.5/16)moles O = 3.41 moles O
Empirical ratio => C : H: O => (3.41/3.41) : (4.58/3.41) : (3.41/3.41) => 1 : 1.34 : 1
=> C : H : O => 3(1 : 1.34 : 1) => 3 : 4 : 3 => Empirical Formula C₃H₄O₃
Molecular Weight = Empirical Formula Wt x N
176.12 = 88 x N
N = whole number multiple of empirical formula = 176.12/88 = 2
∴ Molecular Formula => (C₃H₄O₃)₂ => C₆H₈O₆
Note => Only ionic compounds (salts) have subscripts reduced to lowest whole number ratios. Molecular compounds as C₆H₈O₆ are not reduced to lowest whole number ratios. Therefore, there is no correct answer in the answer choice list for the 'Molecular Formula'. Doc :-)
