Explain, in terms of intermolecular forces, why ammonia has a higher boiling point than the other compounds in the ta

1 answer:

7 0

Answer is: ammonia has a higher boiling point because it has stronger intermolecular forces.

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules. The stronger are intermolecular forces, the higher is boiling point of compound, because more energy is needed to break interaction between molecules.
There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.

A block of metal has a width of 3.2 cm , a length of 17.1 cm , and height of 4.6 cm . Its mass is 1.4 kg . Calculate the density

dsp73

The Density of the metal is 5.6 g/cm³

<h3>What is the density of a substance?</h3>

The density of a substance is the ratio of the mass and the volume of the substance.

Density = mass/volume

The density of the metal is calculated as follows:

mass of metal = 1.4 kg = 1400 g

volume of metal = 3.2 * 17.1 * 4.6 = 251.712 cm³

Density of metal = 1400 g/251.712 cm³

Density of the metal = 5.6 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the metal is obtained from the mass and the volume of the metal.

The vapor pressure of diethyl ether (ether) is 463.57 mm Hg at 25 °C. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in diethyl et

Alexxx [7]

Answer: The vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For testosterone:

Given mass of testosterone = 7.752 g

Molar mass of testosterone = 288.4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of testosterone}=\frac{7.752g}{288.4g/mol}=0.027mol$

For diethyl ether:

Given mass of diethyl ether = 208.0 g

Molar mass of diethyl ether = 74.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of diethyl ether}=\frac{208.0g}{74.12g/mol}=2.81mol$

Mole fraction of a substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

$\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{n_{\text{testosterone}}}{n_{\text{testosterone}}+n_{\text{diethyl ether}}}$

$\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{0.027}{0.027+2.81}\\\\\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=0.0095$

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be:

$\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{\text{solute}}$

where,

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of solvent (diethyl ether) = 463.57 mmHg

$p^s$ = vapor pressure of the solution = ?

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolytes)

$\chi_{\text{solute}}$ = mole fraction of solute (testosterone) = 0.0095

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{463.57-p^s}{463.57}=1\times 0.0095\\\\p^s=459.17mmHg$

Hence, the vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg

Given the following information: benzoic acid = C6H5COOH hydrocyanic acid = HCN C6H5COOH is a stronger acid than HCN (1) Write t

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The net ionic equation is

C6H5COOH+ CN-= C6H5COO- + HCN

Explanation:

From the ionic equation

C6H5COOH + Na+ + CN- = C6H5COO- + Na+ + HCN

Only sodium is the spectator ion, so it cancels out, since C6H5COOH and HCN do not ionize completely they are left undissociated
