ipn [44]

Answer:

Explanation:

(12 x 104 ) x (5 x 10-²) = 6 x 10 ³ 6 x 105 6.0x10²

1. (12 x 104 ) = 1248 or 1.248 x 10^3

2. (1.248 x 10^3)(5 x 10^-2) = 6.240 x 10^1 or 60 rounded to 1 sig fig

According to the kinetic molecular theory particles of matter

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

Explain the difference in the boiling point of 2-methylpropane and 2-iodo-2-methylpropane in terms of both molecular polarity an

Len [333]

The Boiling Point of 2-methylpropane is approximately -11.7 °C, while, Boiling Point of 2-iodo-2-methylpropane is approximately 100 °C.

As both compounds are Non-polar in nature, So there will be no dipole-dipole interactions between the molecules of said compounds.

The Interactions found in these compounds are London Dispersion Forces.

And among several factors at which London Dispersion Forces depends, one is the size of molecule.

Size of Molecule:
There is direct relation between size of molecule and London Dispersion forces. So, 2-iodo-2-methylpropane containing large atom (i.e. Iodine) experience greater interactions. So, due to greater interactions 2-iodo-2-methylpropane need more energy to separate from its partner molecules, Hence, high temperature is required to boil them.

Convert 6.7 x 1024 molecules of nitrogen dioxide into grams.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

510 g NO₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.
Reading the Periodic Table
Writing Compounds
Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

6.7 × 10²⁴ molecules NO₂ (Nitrogen dioxide)

Step 2: Define conversions

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of NO₂ - 14.01 + 2(16.00) = 46.01 g/mol

Step 3: Use Dimensional Analysis

$6.7 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ NO_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ NO_2}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ NO_2} )(\frac{46.01 \ g \ NO_2}{1 \ mol \ NO_2} )$ = 511.901 g NO₂

Step 4: Check

We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules.

511.901 g NO₂ ≈ 510 g NO₂
