Answer: A. are relatively far apart
Explanation:
Compressbility is the ability of compound to reduce in size when pressure is applied.
Gaseous state is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. Thus molecules can be easily compressed.
They have highest kinetic energy. This state has indefinite volume as well as shape. The molecules in the gaseous state move faster with an increase in temperature as the kinetic energy increases with increase in temperature.
Thus most gases are easily compressed is that the molecules in a gas are in constant motion are relatively far apart.
Answer:
The molecular formula of the phosphorus is P4
Explanation:
<u>Step 1:</u> Data given
Density of phosphorus vapor at 310 °C and 775 mmHg = 2.64g /L
<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate the molecular weight
We assume phosphorus to be an ideal gas
So p*V = n*R*T
⇒ with p = the pressure of phosphorus = 775 mmHg
⇒ with V = the Volume
⇒ with n = the number of moles = mass/molecular weight
⇒ with R = ideal gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol
⇒ with T = the absolute temperature
p*V = m/MW *R*T
MW = mRT/PV
⇒ Since the volume is unknown but can be written as density = mass/volume
MW = dRT/P
MW = (2.64g/L * 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol * 583 Kelvin)/1.0197 atm
MW = 123.86 g/mol
<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate molecular formula of phosphorus
The relative atomic mass of phosphorus = 30.97 u
123.86 / 30.97 = 4
The molecular formula of the phosphorus is P4
