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:
D. 15.8atm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial pressure = 13atm
Initial temperature = 34°C = 34 + 273 = 307K
Final temperature = 100°C = 100 + 273 = 373K
Unknown:
Final pressure = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply a derivation of the combined gas law taking the volume as a constant.
The expression is shown mathematically below;
=
P and T pressure and temperature values
1 and 2 are initial and final states
Insert the parameters and solve for T₂;
=
P₂ = 15.8atm
