Answer:

a)CH₄, BH₃, and CCl₄

Explanation:

London dispersion forces:-

The bond for example, in the molecule is F-F, which is non-polar in nature because the two fluorine atoms have same electronegativity values.

The intermolecular force acting in the molecule are induced dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces which are the weakest intermolecular force.

Out of the given options, H₂O , NH₃ exhibits hydrogen bonding which is:-

Hydrogen bonding:-

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of the dipole-dipole interaction and it occurs between hydrogen atom that is bonded to highly electronegative atom which is either fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom.

Thus option B and C rules out.

Hence, the correct option which represents the molecules which would exhibit only London forces is:- a)CH₄, BH₃, and CCl₄

According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory, as the volume of a gas increases: the number of particle impacts per unit area increa

aliya0001 [1]

As the volume of a gas increases at constant temperature, the number of particle impacts per unit area decreases.

There is the same number of impacts, but they are spread over a larger surface area.

Thus, the number of impacts per unit area decreases.

2) Convert 2.65*10^ ^ 25 atoms of Chlorine to moles of CI

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

22 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of Cl = 2.65×10²⁵ atom

Number of moles of Cl = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance. The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

2.65×10²⁵ atom × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.44×10² mol

22 mol

Question 11 (10 points)

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

When aluminum hydroxide reacts with of nitrous acid it gives of aluminum nitrite and of water.

$Al(OH)_3+3HNO_2\rightarrow Al(NO_2)_3+3H_2O$

According to above reaction ,when 1 mole of aluminum hydroxide reacts with 3 moles of nitrous acid it gives 1 mole of aluminum nitrite and 3 moles of water.

Hence, the correct answer is option a.
