Boiling point of a compound is determined by the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules present in it. Stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction, higher will be the boiling point.
Ionic compounds show ion-ion interactions which are the strongest among all. Ion-dipole interactions are shown when ionic solutes are dissolved in polar solvents. Hydrogen bonding is also a relatively stronger force that is present between H atom and an electronegative atom like F, O and N(
) . All polar molecules show dipole-dipole interaction (
and
). Dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces due to momentary dipoles between electron clouds and nucleus.
Among the given compounds,
has dispersion forces as the major intermolecular forces of attraction. So they they exhibit the weakest IMF, hence have the lowest boiling point.
We need the diagram to answer the question
Answer:
W = -120 KJ
Explanation:
Since the piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process, then the temperature is constant.
Thus; T1 = T2 = 400K
change in entropy; ΔS = −0.3 kJ/K
Formula for change in entropy is written as;
ΔS = Q/T
Where Q is amount of heat transferred.
Thus;
Q = ΔS × T
Q = -0.3 × 400
Q = -120 KJ
From the first law of thermodynamics, we can find the workdone from;
Q = ΔU + W
Where;
ΔU is Change in the internal energy
W = Work done
Now, since it's an ideal gas model, the change in internal energy is expressed as;
ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT
Where;
m is mass
C_v is heat capacity at constant volume
ΔT is change in temperature
Now, since it's an isothermal process where temperature is constant, then;
ΔT = T2 - T1 = 0
Thus;
ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT = 0
ΔU = 0
From earlier;
Q = ΔU + W
Thus;
-120 = 0+ W
W = -120 KJ
We first need to convert grams of hydrogen chloride to moles.
molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution
To convert from grams to moles, we need to divide by it's molecular mass.
4.5 g HCl * (1 mole HCl/ 36.46 g HCl) = 0.123 moles HCl
0.12 moles/0.9 L = 0.13 M HCl
If they gave you the volume as 900 mL, then that would be 3 sig figs. And the sig figs would be limited to 2 because the mass.If, however, they gave you the volume as 0.9 L, then that would be 1 sig fig. And the final answer would be limited to to 1 sig fig.
