4 0

Explanation:

  • As it is given that boiling point of propanamide is very high. So, reason for this is that easy formation of hydrogen bonds which are strong enough that we have to provide large amount of heat to break it.

As in -NH_{2}, the hydrogen atoms which are present are positive in nature. Due to this they are able to form hydrogen bonds with the neighboring oxygen atom.

Hence, these bonds are so strong that high heat needs to given to break them.

  • A propanoic acid contain carboxylic group as the functional group. So, this group is also able to form hydrogen bonding as it forms a hydrogen bond between an acid group and hydroxyl group of neighboring molecule.

Hence, it will also require high heat to break the bond due to which there will be increase in boiling point.

  • In propanal, there is presence of aldehyde functional group and three carbon atoms chain which will not form strong bonding with the hydrogen atom of CHO. Due to this there will exist weak Vander waal's force that is not at all strong enough.

As a result, less energy will be needed to break the bonds in propanal. Hence, it has very low boiling point.

A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.00 × 10^4 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, i
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The new volume is 5.913*10^4 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write out the formula to be used:

Using general gas equation;

P1V1 / T1 =P2V2 /T2

V2 = P1V1T2 / P2T1

Step 2: write out the values given and convert to standard unit's where necessary

P1 = 0.995atm

P2 0.720atm

V1 = 5*10^4 L

T1 = 32°C = 32+ 273 = 305K

T2 = -12°C = -12 + 273 = 261K

Step 3: Equate your values and do the calculation:

V2 = 0.995 * 5*10^4 * 261 / 0.720 * 305

V2 = 1298.475 * 10^4 / 219.6

V2 = 5.913 * 10^4 L

So the new volume of the balloon is 5.913*10^4 L
