Carbon dioxide and helium which has a higher van der waals force of attraction between molecules ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
raketka [301]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Carbon dioxide  

Explanation:

Neither helium nor carbon dioxide has a molecular dipole, so their strongest van der Waals attractive forces are London forces.

Helium is a small spherical atom with only a two electrons, so its atoms have quite weak attractions to each other.

CO₂ is a large linear molecule. It has more electrons than helium, so the attractive forces are greater. Furthermore, the molecules can align themselves compactly side-by-side and maximize the attractions (see below).

For example. CO₂ becomes a solid at -78 °C, but helium must be cooled to -272 °C to make it freeze (that's just 1 °C above absolute zero).

Answer:

C10H22(l) + 31/2 O2 (g)-----> 10CO2(g) + 11H2O(l)

V= 70.4L of CO2

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction is:

C10H22(l) + 31/2 O2 (g)-----> 10CO2(g) + 11H2O(l)

Number of moles of decane = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of decane= 122gmol-1

n= 0.370×10^3g/122gmol-1= 3.0 moles

T= 13°C +273=286K

P= 1atm

R= 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1

From :

PV= nRT

V= nRT/P

V= 3.0×0.082×286/1

V= 70.4L of CO2
