What role does intermolecular forces play in the state something is in?

1 answer:

8 0

Inter molecular forces can affect the state of something depending on their strength. Solids have strong inter molecular forces which keep particles still and packed close together, whereas gases for example have weaker forces that allow particles to be free from one another and disperse throughout a space. Liquids are somewhat in the middle.

It takes 281.7 kJ of energy to remove 1 mole of electrons from the atoms on the surface of lithium metal. If lithium metal is ir

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The maximum kinetic energy of electron is = 2.93 × $10^{-19}$ Joule

Explanation:

We know that total energy

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$ ------------ (1)

Here h = plank's constant = 6.62 × $10^{-34}$ J s

c = speed of light = 3 × $10^{8}$ $\frac{m}{s}$

$\lambda$ = 261 nm = 261 × $10^{-9}$ m

Put all these values in equation (1) we get

E = 7.6 × $10^{-19}$ J

We know that

Total energy = Energy to remove an electron + K.E of electron

Energy to remove an electron = $\frac{281.7 (1000)}{(6.023)10^{23} }$

Energy to remove an electron = 4.67 × $10^{-19}$ J

K.E of electron = Total energy - Energy to remove an electron

K.E of electron = 7.6 × $10^{-19}$ - 4.67 × $10^{-19}$

K.E of electron = 2.93 × $10^{-19}$ Joule

Therefore the maximum kinetic energy of electron is = 2.93 × $10^{-19}$ Joule

3. A student carries out the clay-catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol starting with 10 moles of cyclohexanol and obtains 500 m

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

$49.45~%$

Explanation:

In this case, we have to start with the chemical reaction:

$C_6H_1_2O~->~C_6H_1_0~+~H_2O$

So, if we start with 10 mol of cyclohexanol ( $C_6H_1_2O$ ) we will obtain 10 mol of cyclohexanol ( $C_6H_1_0$ ). So, we can calculate the grams of cyclohexanol if we calculate the molar mass:

$(6*12)+(10*1)=82~g/mol$

With this value we can calculate the grams:

$10~mol~C_6H_1_0\frac{82~g~C_6H_1_0}{1~mol~C_6H_1_0}=820~g~C_6H_1_0$

Now, we have as a product 500 mL of $C_6H_1_0$ . If we use the density value (0.811 g/mL). We can calculate the grams of product:

$500~mL\frac{0.811~g}{1~mL}=405.5~g$

Finally, with these values we can calculate the yield:

$%~=~\frac{405.5}{820}x100~=~49.45%$ %= (405.5/820)*100 = 49.45 %

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The answer to your question is "It will be a high melting point"

Explanation:

Process

1.- Identify the kind of compounds that is Potassium chloride.

Ionic compounds are composed of a metal and a nonmetal.

Covalent compounds are composed of 2 nonmetals.

Potassium chloride is composed of a metal and a nonmetal so, it is an ionic compound.

2.- Conclude, Potassium chloride has a high melting point because is an ionic compound".

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The Sun's Energy is stored in the chemical bonds that make up food. Some forms of life make their own food. These are the Autotrophs.

Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food.

Which of the following has the greatest electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms? View Available Hint(s) Which of t

Reptile [31]

Answer: A group 1 alkali metal bonded to fluoride, such as LiF.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself. The size of an atom increases as we move down the group because a new shell is added and electron gets added up.

1. A strong acid made of hydrogen and a halogen, such as HCl : A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of hydrogen = 3-2.1= 0.9

2. A group 1 alkali metal bonded to fluoride, such as LiF: Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of fluorine - electronegativity of lithium= 4-1= 3

3. Carbon bonded to a group 6A (16) nonmetal chalcogen, such as in CO: A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of carbon= 3.5-2.5= 1.0

4. A diatomic gas, such as nitrogen $(N_2)$ : Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = 0

Thus the greatest electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms is in LiF.
