Why does silver have a high melting point?

Silver contains strong metallic bonds (a lattice of positive ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons) which require large amounts of energy to break, therefore has a high melting point.

If 350gNaCl is dissolved in water and made up to a volume of 3dm^3, calculate the concentration of the solution.

Using diagrams, describe the difference between Ionic, Covalent and Metallic Bonding.

How is crude oil separated?

CO(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ CH3OH(g). A pressure of 100 atmospheres is used instead of atmospheric pressure. The higher pressure gives a greater yield of methanol and an increased rate of reaction. Explain why.
