Answer:

Electrostatic Van de Waals forces act between molecules to form weak bonds. The types of Van der Waals forces, strongest to weakest, are dipole-dipole forces, dipole-induced dipole forces and the London dispersion forces. The hydrogen bond is based on a type of dipole-dipole force that is especially powerful. These forces help determine the physical characteristics of materials.

What is the amount in grams of EDTA needed to make 315.1 mL of a 0.05 M EDTA solution. The molar mass of EDTA is 374 g/mol

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

58.92 g EDTA

Explanation:

315.1 mL = .3151 L

M = Moles / Liter

.3151 L x <u>0.5 mol EDTA</u> x <u>374 g EDTA</u> = 58.92 g EDTA

1 L EDTA 1 mol EDTA

Compare and contrast solids liquids and gases in terms of volume shape compessibility and energy

tangare [24]

Answer:

solid has definite shape and volume.

liquid do not have definite shape but have definite volume.

gas do not have definite shape and definite volume.

solid have lowest compressibility out of three, liquid have more compressibility than solid but less than gases. gases have the highest compressibility out of three. Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
