Oxygen and nitrogen are both gases at room temperature. Explain why oxygen has a greater force of attraction between its particl

es than nitrogen.(Room temperature is 20°C)
Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen molecules are formed as a result of covalent bonding between two atoms of oxygen. There is a sharing of two valence electrons so as to complete their respective octets. This is also similar to the formation of nitrogen molecules.

Oxygen has greater force of attraction because, the electronegativity of oxygen is the second strongest among the elements. Electronegativity deals with the relative tendency of an atom to attract electrons to itself. Therefore, the shared electrons are being greatly pulled by the two atoms of oxygen. The electronegativity of nitrogen is not as great as that of oxygen.

Propane burns in air to form water vapor and another gas. What is the volume of the water vapor at 500°C and 1 atm?​
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

253.85 L

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ —> 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

From the balanced equation above, 4 moles of water vapor were produced.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the water vapor produced as follow:

Mole water vapor (n) = 4 moles

Pressure (P) = 1 atm

Temperature (T) = 500 °C = 500 °C + 273 = 773 K

Gas constant (R) = 0.821 atm.L/Kmol

Volume (V) =?

PV = nRT

1 × V = 4 ×0.0821 × 773

V = 253.85 L

Thus, the volume of water vapor obtained is 253.85 L
