The correct is D.
Water is a polar molecule and it has polar bonds, which carry partially positive and partially negative charges. This polar bond increases the attraction between molecules of water and thus it requires a greater energy to break the bond between the molecules of water compare to carbon dioxide, which is a non polar molecule. Thus, water has a higher boiling point than carbon dioxide.
Answer:
HF - hydrogen bonding
CBr4 - Dispersion
NF3 - Dipole-dipole
Explanation:
Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, chlorine nitrogen, oxygen etc. Hence the dominant intermolecular force in HF is hydrogen bonding.
CBr4 is nonpolar because the molecule is tetrahedral and the individual C-Br dipole moments cancel out leaving the molecule with a zero dipole moment hence the dominant intermolecular force are the dispersion forces.
NF3 has a resultant dipole moment hence the molecules are held together by dipole-dipole interaction.
Answer:
XCH₄ = 0.461
XCO₂ = 0.539
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Partial pressure of methane (pCH₄): 431 mmHg
- Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂): 504 mmHg
Step 2: Calculate the total pressure in the container
We will sum both partial pressures.
P = pCH₄ + pCO₂
P = 431 mmHg + 504 mmHg = 935 mmHg
Step 3: Calculate the mole fraction of each gas
We will use the following expression.
Xi = pi / P
XCH₄ = pCH₄/P = 431 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.461
XCO₂ = pCO₂/P = 504 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.539
