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

Determine the mass of 2.4 x 10^24 atoms of gold?

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Mass = 785.9 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Atoms of gold = 2.4 × 10²⁴ atoms

Mass of gold = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the number of atoms into moles.

2.4 × 10²⁴ atoms × 1 mol/ 6.02 × 10²³ atoms

number of moles = 3.99 mol

Now we will determine the mass of gold.

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3.99 mol × 196.97 g/mol

Mass = 785.9 g

A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.57 104 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, it r

Alchen [17]

6.52 × 10⁴ L. (3 sig. fig.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Helium is a noble gas. The interaction between two helium molecules is rather weak, which makes the gas rather "ideal."

Consider the ideal gas law:

$P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T$ ,

where

$P$ is the pressure of the gas,
$V$ is the volume of the gas,
$n$ is the number of gas particles in the gas,
$R$ is the ideal gas constant, and
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas in degrees Kelvins.

The question is asking for the final volume $V$ of the gas. Rearrange the ideal gas equation for volume:

$V = \dfrac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{P}$ .

Both the temperature of the gas, $T$ , and the pressure on the gas changed in this process. To find the new volume of the gas, change one variable at a time.

Start with the absolute temperature of the gas:

$T_0 = (32.0 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 305.15\;\text{K}$ ,
$T_1 = (-14.5 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 258.65\;\text{K}$ .

The volume of the gas is proportional to its temperature if both $n$ and $P$ stay constant.

$n$ won't change unless the balloon leaks, and
consider $P$ to be constant, for calculations that include $T$ .

$V_1 = V_0 \cdot \dfrac{T_1}{T_2} = 5.57\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times \dfrac{258.65\;\textbf{K}}{305.15\;\textbf{K}} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}$ .

Now, keep the temperature at $T_1 =258.65\;\text{K}$ and change the pressure on the gas:

$P_1 = 0.995\;\text{atm}$ ,
$P_2 = 0.720\;\text{atm}$ .

The volume of the gas is proportional to the reciprocal of its absolute temperature $\dfrac{1}{T}$ if both $n$ and $T$ stays constant. In other words,

$V_2 = V_1 \cdot\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{P_2}}{\dfrac{1}{P_1}} = V_1\cdot\dfrac{P_1}{P_2} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times\dfrac{0.995\;\text{atm}}{0.720\;\text{atm}}=6.52\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}$

(3 sig. fig. as in the question.).

See if you get the same result if you hold $T$ constant, change $P$ , and then move on to change $T$ .

Aqueous sulfuric acid reacts with solid sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium sulfate and liquid water . If of sodium sulfa

notka56 [123]

Answer:

27%

Explanation:

Hello,

The following information is missing, but I found it: "1.92 g of sodium sulfate is produced from the reaction of 4.9 g of sulfuric acid and 7.8 g of sodium hydroxide" so the undergoing chemical reaction is:

$2NaOH+H_2SO_4-->Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

Now, to compute the percent yield, we must first establish the limiting reagent to subsequently determine the theoretical yield of sodium sulfate because the real (1.92g) is already given, thus, we consider the following procedure:

$n_{NaOH}=7.8gNaOH*\frac{1molNaOH}{40gNaOH}=0.2molNaOH\\n_{H_2SO_4}=4.9gH_2SO_4*\frac{1molH_2SO_4}{98gH_2SO_4}=0.050molH_2SO_4\\$

- The moles of sodium hydroxide that completely react with 0.05 moles of sulfuric acid are:

$0.2molNaOH*\frac{1molH_2SO_4}{2molNaOH}=0.098molH_2SO_4$

As this number is higher than the previously computed 0.05 moles of available sulfuric acid, one states that the sulfuric acid is the limiting reagent. Now, the theoretical grams of sodium sulfate are found via:

$0.05molH_2SO_4*\frac{1molNa_2SO_4}{1mol H_2SO_4} *\frac{142.04gNa_2SO_4}{1molNa_2SO_4} =7.1gNa_2SO_4$

Finally, the percent yield turns out into:

$Y=\frac{1.92g}{7.1g} *100$

$Y=27.0$ %

Best regards.

Webb has calculated the percent composition of a compound. How can he check his result?

fenix001 [56]

Webb has calculated the percent composition of a compound. He can check his result by adding them to see if they equal up to 100. Why? Well, percent composition tells the quantity of elements with 100 as a base of total amount. This means that it will have to add to 100 to check the result. You would add up all of the values of percent composition of elements to see if they equal 100, and if they do, the results are accurate.

Your final answer: Webb can check his result by seeing if they add up to 100, considering that is the base total quantity.
