Answer:
Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions ). These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.
Importance:
Intermolecular forces are important because they determine the physical properties of substances. Many of the life-sustaining properties of water such as its high heat capacity are a result of the hydrogen bonding capabilities it has and are thus due to intermolecular forces.
Answer : The mass of sodium bromide added should be, 18.3 grams.
Explanation :
Molality : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in kilograms of solvent.
Formula used :
Solute is, NaBr and solvent is, water.
Given:
Molality of NaBr = 0.565 mol/kg
Molar mass of NaBr = 103 g/mole
Mass of water = 315 g
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Thus, the mass of sodium bromide added should be, 18.3 grams.
The average atomic mass of an element can be determined by multiplying the individual masses of the isotopes with their respective relative abundances, and adding them.
Average atomic mass of Br = 158 amu(0.2569) + 160 amu(0.4999) + 162 amu(0.2431)
Average atomic mass = 159.96 amu
As described in the problem, the relative abundance for Br-79 is 25.69%. This is because 2 atoms of Br is equal to 79*2 = 158 amu. Similarly, the relative abundance of Br-81 is 81*2 = 162, which is 24.31%.
Let's go through each of the answers and think about why they work or don't work.
Chemical forms compounds.
Nuclear changes the element completely. We're going to use the sun as an example. The sun is in a state of plasma. It's really hot and has all these particles hitting into each other. The nucleus' of atoms are hitting into each other forming larger elements. It's real crazy. Nuclear is not correct.
Physical cannot form a compound.
Answer:
What mass (g) of barium iodide is contained in 188 mL of a barium iodide solution that has an iodide ion concentration of 0.532 M?
A) 19.6
B) 39.1
C) 19,600
D) 39,100
E) 276
The correct answer to the question is
B) 39.1 grams
Explanation:
To solve the question
The molarity ratio is given by
188 ml of 0.532 M solution of iodide.
Therefore we have number of moles = 0.188 × 0.532 M = 0.100016 Moles
To find the mass, we note that the Number of moles = 
from which we have
Mass = Number of moles × molar mass
Where the molar mass of Barium Iodide = 391.136 g/mol
= 0.100016 moles ×391.136 g/mol = 39.12 g
