i) When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, the process is endothermic in nature. This means that heat energy is absorbed in the process. Therefore, solubility increase with rise in the temperature. Incase of lithium carbonate, the process of dissolution is exothermic. This means that heat is evolved in the process. Therefore, its solubility in water decreases with rise in temperature.
ii) No, it cannot be used. Actually, in water the two elements are chemically combined with each other. They therefore, lose their identity. But in the mixture, no chemical combination between hydrogen and oxygen has taken place. Even water cannot be formed on mixing the gases. Therefore, the mixture does not extinguish any fire.
iii) Since the experimentally determined melting point of the solid is more than the standard value of the melting point, this means that the solid is not in pure state. It has some impurities present. Please note that the purity of a solid can be determined by finding its melting point and comparing it with the standard value.
45.
For making element of a heating device, we use alloy instead of pure metals. The resistivity of material D lies in the range of resistivities of alloys. Therefore, material D can be used for making element of a heating device.
