why is iodine is a solid at STP but chlorine is a gas at STP? explain in terms of intermolecular forces.

1 answer:

7 0

Iodine is a solid at STP (standard room temperature and pressure) as the intermolecular forces between the iodide compound is strongly held by bonds such as electrostatic forces of attraction if its a ionic compound. Therefore STP is so sufficient enough to breakthrough these bonds hence its a solid. However, chlorine’s a gas as its intermolecular bonds are weak, and STP is strong enough to break these bonds of where chlorine is a gas

NOTE: they should really give you a compound so you can identify between covalent and ionic bonds and talk about it in more depth

A gas evolved during the fermentation of alcohol had a volume of 19.4 L at 17 °C and 746 mmHg. How many moles of gas were collec

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:- 0.800 moles of the gas were collected.

Solution:- Volume, temperature and pressure is given for the gas and asks to calculate the moles of the gas.

It is an ideal gas law based problem. Ideal gas law equation is used to solve this. The equation is:

PV=nRT

Since it asks to calculate the moles that is n, so let's rearrange this for n:

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

V = 19.4 L

T = 17 + 273 = 290 K

P = 746 mmHg

we need to convert the pressure from mmHg to atm and for this we divide by 760 since, 1 atm = 760 mmHg

$P=746mmHg(\frac{1atm}{760mmHg})$

P = 0.982 atm

R = $0.0821\frac{atm.L}{mol.K}$

Let's plug in the values in the equation to get the moles.

$n=\frac{0.982atm*19.4L}{0.0821\frac{atm.L}{mol.K}*290K}$

n = 0.800 moles

So, 0.800 moles of the gas were collected.

Natasha2012 [34]

Try adding spaces next time! That's iodine. Check all of the numbers to make sure all of the orbitals are filled, then find the ones which aren't. In this one, only the 5p5 subshell isn't full. 5p5 is the fifth row on the right side, count across the nonmetals and metalloids until the fifth one (a halogen). That's iodine, and that's your answer!
