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).

Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction between fe2+(aq) and zn(s) under standard conditions at 25∘c.

Hatshy [7]

Following reaction occurs in the given electrochemical system:
$Fe^{2+} + Zn$ → Fe + $Zn^{2+}$
Thus, under standard conditions
E(0) = E(0) Fe2+/Fe - E(0) Zn2+/Zn
where, $E^{0}Fe2+/Fe$ = standard reduction potential of Fe2+/Fe = -0.44 v
$E^{0}Zn2+/Zn$ = standard reduction potential of Zn2+/Zn = -0.763 v

E(0) = 0.323 v
now, we know that, ΔG(0) =-nFE(0) ............... (1)
Also, Δ $G^{0} = -RTln(K) ............ (2)$

On equating and rearranging equation 1 and 2, we get
K = exp( $\frac{nFE(0)}{RT}$ )= exp ( $\frac{2X96500X0.323}{8.314X298}$ ) = 8.46 x $10^{10}$

How does convection occur in the troposhere

adell [148]

Answer:The surface heated air expands as it warms, becomes less dense than surrounding cooler air and rises as buoyant and turbulent bubbles. This is convection and is the main process by which the troposphere mixes and heats. Although convection stirs and mixes the troposphere, the higher it is the colder it becomes.
