Chapter 17, Problem 1ASA
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The properties of a substance that definitely establish that it is a molecular material are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Substances are classified on the basis of the kinds of bonding present in it. There are three types of substances.

  • Ionic substances
  • Molecular substances
  • Metallic substances

Molecular substances have covalent bonds between the atoms, ionic substances have electrostatic forces between the ions, and metallic substances have metallic bonds.

Answer to Problem 1ASA

Molecular substances are formed by the sharing of the electrons. They are volatile in nature, and do not conduct electricity either in solid or in the molten state.

Explanation of Solution

The properties of a substance that is molecular material are listed below.

  • Molecular substances are formed by the sharing of the electron (covalent bond) between the atoms.
  • Molecular substances are liquid at room temperature.
  • Molecular substances are volatile in nature.
  • Molecular substances do not conduct electricity either in solid or in the molten state.
  • Molecular substances are soluble in a few organic solvents.
  • Some molecular substances are polar in nature and they all are soluble in water.
Conclusion

Molecular are liquid at room temperature, volatile in nature, and do not conduct electricity either in solid or in the molten state. A few molecular substances are polar in nature.

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential Ered +1.26 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.10 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box.. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the maximum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no upper limit, check the "no" box. yes, there is a minimum. 1 red Πν no minimum Oyes, there is a maximum. 0 E red Dv By using the information in the ALEKS…
