A nonmetal element in the third row of the periodic table exists as two allotropes (two different physical forms of the same element). One allotrope exists as an extended network while the other exists as discrete molecules. In the lab, you gather the following evidence about two allotropes of this element: Physical Form of Element Allotrope 1 Allotrope 2 Which allotrope do you predict likely exists as an extended network and why? 1. Allotrope 1 because strong covalent bonds within the molecule require a lot of energy to break when melting a substance from a solid to a liquid. 2. Allotrope 2 because small molecules require less energy due to the weaker interactions to overcome compared to breaking strong covalent bonds when an extended network melts (essentially disintegrating). 4 Melting Point 3. Allotrope 2 because its lower melting point suggests that it makes a good liquid. 4. Allotrope 1 because it definitely conducts electricity based on the melting data. 0 3 1788 K 5. The data is wrong as all allotropes of the same element must have the same properties. 6. It is impossible to tell from the given data whether the substance exists as an extended network or discrete molecules. 06 487 K 01 3

Sodium hydrogen sulfate is used as a cleaning agent and as a flux (a substance that promotes the fusing of metals and prevents the formation of oxides). One of the ways in which sodium hydrogen sulfate is manufactured is by reacting sodium dichromate, Na2Cr2O7, with sulfuric acid. This process also forms water and chromium(VI) oxide, CrO3. Write a balanced equation for this reaction. (You do not need to include states.) How many kilograms of sodium dichromate, Na2Cr2O7, are necessary to produce 130.4 kg of sodium hydrogen sulfate? How many kilograms of chromium(VI) oxide are formed when 130.4 kg of sodium hydrogen sulfate is made?
