Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 34Q
A common prank on college campuses is to switch the salt and sugar on dining hall tables, which is usually easy because the substances look so much alike. Yet, despite the similarity in their appearance, these two substances differ greatly in their properties, since one is a molecular solid and the other is an ionic solid. How do the properties differ and why?

Yet, despite the similarity in their appearance, these two substances differ greatly in their properties because one is a molecular solid and the other is an ionic solid. How do the properties differ and why?arrow_forwardAn amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.arrow_forwardWhat types of forces exist between the individual particles in an ionic solid? Are these threes relatively strong or relatively weak?arrow_forward
- Potassium bromide has the same lattice structure as NaCl. Given the ionic radii of K+ (133 pm) and Br (196 pm), calculate the density of KBr.arrow_forwardAre changes in state physical or chemical changes? Explain. What type of forces must be overcome to melt or vaporize a substance (are these forces intramolecular or intermolecular)? Define the molar heat of fusion and molar heat of vaporization. Why is the molar heat of vaporization of water so much larger than its molar heat of fusion? Why does the boiling point of a liquid vary with altitude?arrow_forwardConsider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.arrow_forward
- Consider two different organic compounds, each with the formula C2H6O. One of these compounds is a liquid at room conditions and the other is a gas. Write Lewis structures consistent with this observation, and explain your answer. (Hint: The oxygen atom in both structures satisfies the octet rule with two bonds and two lone pairs.)arrow_forwardSilicon carbide, SiC, is a very hard, high-melting solid. What kind of crystal forces account for these properties?arrow_forwardExplain why the enthalpies of vaporization of the following substances increase in the order CH4NH3H2O, even though all three substances have approximately the same molar mass.arrow_forward
- 8.103 In previous chapters, we have noted that cryolite is used in refining aluminum. Use the web to look up what this addition does for the process, and relate it to the concepts of intermolecular forces from this chapter.arrow_forwardThe CsCl structure is a simple cubic array of chloride ions with a cesium ion at the center of each cubic array (see Exercise 69). Given that the density of cesium chloride is 3.97 g/cm3, and assuming that the chloride and cesium ions touch along the body diagonal of the cubic unit cell, calculate the distance between the centers of adjacent Cs+ and Cl ions in the solid. Compare this value with the expected distance based on the sizes of the ions. The ionic radius of Cs+ is 169 pm, and the ionic radius of Cl is 181 pm.arrow_forwardA 0.250-g chunk of sodium metal is cautiously dropped into a mixture of 50.0 g water and 50.0 g ice, both at 0C. The reaction is 2Na(s)+2H2O(l)2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)H=368kJ Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings, will the ice melt? Assuming the final mixture has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/gc, calculate the final temperature. The enthalpy of fusion for ice is 6.02 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
