What happens to most solids as they are heated?
They could reach their melting point and melt or they could char and react with the oxygen in the atmosphere. Some solids will ignite when heated.
What happens to iron filings and sulfur powder when heated?
When sufficiently heated, iron filings and sulfur react to produce a compound, iron (II) sulfide.
Which combination describes the flame color of the compound when heated?
Which combination describes the flame color of the compound when heated?
Does a compound melt when heated?
Yes
What would happen if you heated a solid ionic compound and a solid covalent compound in the same container?
the covalent compound will melt first. Generally this is true as most covalent compounds are made up of small molecules and this leads to low melting points. However giant covalent compounds are high melting. SiO2 melts at over 1600 C whereas common salt (NaCl) melts at only 801 C.
When a solid is heated to its melting point what happens?
The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.
Why is it important to pack the sample tightly in the melting point capillary?
If left loose, the compound will be heated unevenly.
What happens to the melting point of the solid when heated?
force of vibration over come the binding
What happens to the temperature of a solid at its melting point when heated?
The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.
What happens when you heat salt and leave to cool?
Nothing provided the salt is not heated to melting point.
What happens when a solid is heated and it's temperature rises without melting?
It heats up, until it reaches the melting point or sublimation point of the solid.
What happens to the density of matter when the matter is heated?
In almost all cases, matter expands and becomes less dense when it is heated. Melting ice is an exception.
What happens to most solids as they are heated?
They could reach their melting point and melt or they could char and react with the oxygen in the atmosphere. Some solids will ignite when heated.
What happens to iron filings and sulfur powder when heated?
When sufficiently heated, iron filings and sulfur react to produce a compound, iron (II) sulfide.
What happens when iron III sulphate is heated?
By heating this compound is thermally dissociated: iron oxide and sulfur dioxide are obtained.
What is a capillary melting point?
The sample is placed in a sealed capillary and heated up to the melting.
Which combination describes the flame color of the compound when heated?
Which combination describes the flame color of the compound when heated?
