Why does silver iodide have a higher melting point than vanillin

1 answer:

5 0

AgI has a higher melting point than vanillin because it is an ionic compound. The bonds are held more tightly together than in vanillin because it is a covalent compound. Ionic bonds have a higher melting point because the electrons are being transferred from one atom to the other.

A scientist is wondering why a certain region in the ocean doesn't have maximum phytoplankton growth, despite having plenty of n

Advocard [28]

Answer:

C The water had adequate nitrogen and phosphorus, so it is likely iron limited.

Explanation:

Phytoplankton are single- cell organisms that live in oceans.

They require nitrogen, phosphorus and trace amount of iron to survive.

From the scientist's results after testing the water for nitrogen and phosphorus,there are reasonable amount of these elements.

Therefore insufficient iron in the water is the reason why he could find plenty phytoplankton in the ocean.

If you pump air into cycle tyre a slight warming effect is noticed at valve stem why

SSSSS [86.1K]

Probably the kinetic energy of rubbing the pump against the valve, combined with the increase in gas pressure in the tire itself.

Answer:

CN^- is a strong field ligand

Explanation:

The complex, hexacyanoferrate II is an Fe^2+ specie. Fe^2+ is a d^6 specie. It may exist as high spin (paramagnetic) or low spin (diamagnetic) depending on the ligand. The energy of the d-orbitals become nondegenerate upon approach of a ligand. The extent of separation of the two orbitals and the energy between them is defined as the magnitude of crystal field splitting (∆o).

Ligands that cause a large crystal field splitting such as CN^- are called strong field ligands. They lead to the formation of diamagnetic species. Strong field ligands occur towards the end of the spectrochemical series of ligands.

Hence the complex, Fe(CN)6 4− is diamagnetic because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand that causes the six d-electrons present to pair up in a low spin arrangement.

The acid-dissociation constant, ka, for gallic acid is 4.57 ⋅ 10-3. what is the base-dissociation constant, kb, for the gallate

LiRa [457]

Hello!

To determine the Kb of gallic acid is actually very simple.

The dissociation reaction of Gallic Acid (HGal) is the following:

HGal+H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + Gal⁻

The equation for converting from Ka to Kb is the following:

$Ka*Kb=Kw \\ \\ Kb= \frac{Kw}{Ka}= \frac{1*10^{-14} }{4,57*10^{-3} }=2,19 * 10^{-12}$

So, the Kb is 2,19*10⁻¹²

Have a nice day!
