Arrange the molecules in order from strongest intermolecular force to weakest.

Chemistry

3 0

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 .

What is the energy of a wave with wavelength of 4.2 x 10-7 m. (Hint: Calculate for frequency first.)
erik [133]

Answer:

Option B. 4.74×10¯¹⁹ J.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Wavelength (λ) = 4.2×10¯⁷ m

Energy (E) =.?

Next, we shall determine the frequency of the wave. This can be obtained as follow:

Wavelength (λ) = 4.2×10¯⁷ m

Velocity (v) = constant = 3×10⁸ m/s

Frequency (f) =.?

v = λf

3×10⁸ = 4.2×10¯⁷ × f

Divide both side by 4.2×10¯⁷

f = 3×10⁸ / 4.2×10¯⁷

f = 7.143×10¹⁴ s¯¹

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 7.143×10¹⁴ s¯¹.

Finally, we shall determine the energy of the wave using the following formula

E = hf

Where

E is the energy.

h is the Planck's constant

f is the frequency

Thus, the enery of the wave can be obtained as follow:

Frequency (f) = 7.143×10¹⁴ s¯¹.

Planck's constant = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Energy (E) =..?

E = hf

E = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × 7.14×10¹⁴

E = 4.74×10¯¹⁹ J

Therefore, the energy of the wave is 4.74×10¯¹⁹ J.

1. A student collected the following data for a fixed volume of gas: Temperature (⁰C) Pressure (mm of Hg) 10 726 20 750 40 800 7
zimovet [89]

Answer is: the missing pressure is 1088.66 mmHg.

Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

p₁/T₁ = p₂/T₂.

p₁ = 960 mmHg; pressure of the gas.

T₁ = 100°C + 273.15.

T₁ = 373.15 K; temperature of the gas.

T₂ = 150°C + 273.15.

T₂ = 423.15 K.

p₂ = p₁T₂/T₁.

p₂ = 960 mmHg · 423.15 K / 373.15 K.

p₂ = 1088.66 mmHg.
