Answer:- $C_4H_1_0>C_3H_8>C_2H_6>CH_4$

Explanations:- Alkanes are non polar molecules as these only have carbons and hydrogens. Electron negativity difference of C and H is very low and it makes them non polar. These have weaker London dispersion forces.

The forces of attraction becomes stronger in alkanes as the number of carbon increases because the surface area as well as molecular weight of the alkanes increases with an increase in number of carbons.

Butane has four carbons, propane has three carbons, ethane has two and methane has only one carbon, So, the strongest to weakest order of inter molecular forces is butane > propane > ethane > methane .

How many grams of XeF6 are required to react with 0.579 L of hydrogen gas at 4.46 atm and 45°C in the reaction shown below?

natka813 [3]

Answer:

8.1433 g of XeF₆ are required.

Explanation:

Balanced chemical equation;

XeF₆ (s) + 3H₂ (g) → Xe (g) + 6HF (g)

Given data:

Volume of hydrogen = 0.579 L

Pressure = 4.46 atm

Temperature = 45 °C (45+273= 318 k)

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the moles of hydrogen

PV = nRT

n = PV/ RT

n = 4.46 atm × 0.579 L / 0.0821 atm. dm³. mol⁻¹. K⁻¹ × 318 K

n = 2.6 atm . L / 26.12 atm. dm³. mol⁻¹

n = 0.0995 mol

Mass of hydrogen:

Mass = moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.0995 mol × 2.016 g/mol

Mass = 0.2006 g

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen with XeF₆ from balance chemical equation.

H₂ : XeF₆

3 : 1

0.0995 : 1/3× 0.0995 = 0.0332 mol

Now we will calculate the mass of XeF₆.

Mass = moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.0332 mol × 245.28 g/mol

Mass = 8.1433 g

A buffer contains the weak acid HA and its conjugate base A-. the weak acid has a p Ka of 4.82 and the buffer has a pH of 4.25.

klasskru [66]

I think the correct answer is A. A buffer is a substance that resists small change in the acidity of a solution when an acid or base is added to the solution. Usually, a buffer involves a weak acid or a weak alkali and one of its salt.

Melts in the system pb-sn exhibit regular solution behavior. at 473°c apb = 0.055 in a liquid solution of xpb = 0.1. calculate t

Masteriza [31]

Given the temperature 746 K and activity of Pb equal to 0.055. The mole fraction of Pb is 0.1. So, the mole fraction of Sn = 0.9.Activity coefficient, γ = 0.055 / 0.1 = 0.55.The expression for w=ln⁡〖γ_Pb x RT〗/(X_Sn^2 )=(-0.5978 x 8.314 J/(mol K ) x 746 K)/(0.9 x 0.9)= -4577.7 J= -4578 J

Now we use the computed value above and new temperature 773 K. The mole fraction of Sn and Pb are 0.5 and 0.5 respectively. Calculate the activity coefficient in the following manner.lnγ_Sn=w/RT X_Pb^2=(-4578 J)/(8.314 J/mol x 773 K) x 0.5 x 0.5= -0.718lnγ_Sn=exp⁡(-0.178)=0.386The activity of Sn= γ_Sn x X_Sn=0.386 x 0.5=0.418
w of the system is -4578 J and the activity of Sn in the liquid solution of xsn at 500 degree Celsius is 0.418
