Carbon dioxide and helium which has a higher van der waals force of attraction between molecules
1 answer:
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:
The volume of the gas is 2.80 L.
Explanation:
An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be made up of point particles that move randomly and do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.
The Pressure (P) of a gas on the walls of the container that contains it, the Volume (V) it occupies, the Temperature (T) at which it is located and the amount of substance it contains (number of moles, n) are related from the equation known as Equation of State of Ideal Gases:
P*V = n*R*T
where R is the constant of ideal gases.
In this case:
- P= 2 atm
- V= ?
- n=0.223 moles
- R= 0.0821
- T=33 °C= 306 °K (being O°C= 273°K)
Replacing:
2 atm* V= 0.223 moles*0.0821 * 306 K
Solving:
V= 2.80 L
<u><em>The volume of the gas is 2.80 L.</em></u>
