The melting teperature is relatively high
The melting point of potassium chloride is 790 °C.
Bromine is a molecular compound Br2 and the intermolecular forces are london dispersion forces. Potassium chloride is an ionic compound forming a lattice with strong electrostatic forces holding the lattice together. Less thermal energy is required to shake solid Br2 apart than that required for KCl
Yes, sodium has a higher melting point than potassium. Sodium has a melting point of 97.8°C while potassium's melting point is much lower at 63.38°C.
Melting point: 336.53 K (63.38°C, 146.08°F) Boiling point: 1032 K (759°C, 1398°F)
The melting point of sodium chloride (NaCl) is 801 degrees Celsius or 1474 degrees Fahrenheit.
The melting point of potassium chloride is 790 °C.
Potassium chloride has a high melting point due to its strong ionic bonding between potassium cations and chloride anions. The electrostatic forces holding the ions together require a significant amount of energy to break, leading to the high melting point of potassium chloride.
No, because neither of them sublimate at 760 torr (1 atm). They melt. You could separate them by melting point, as NaCl has a melting point of 801ºC, but KCl has a melting point of 770ºC.
There is no reaction (decomposition) when KCl is heated, other than the melting of KCl, above its melting point.
Yes, potassium chloride has a melting point of 770 degrees Celsius. It melts from a solid state to a liquid state at this temperature.
Potassium chloride is an ionic compound. The bond holding the atoms together is known as ionic bond. Strictly speaking it is NOT a discrete molecule of K + Cl- but a crystal lattice consisting of each K+ surrounded by Cl- ions and vice versa. The bonds in this lattice all have to be broken to melt the compound. There is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the chloride ions and the potassium ions. A large amount of heat energy has to be applied to break the strong bond holding the atoms, resulting in the compound having a high melting point.
