Why the measured pressure of a gas under conditions that are very close to those that would result in condensation will be lower

than what the ideal gas law would predict?
Chemistry

Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

Inter-molecular forces and molecular volumes are the chief reasons for lower measured pressure

Explanation:

The kinetic theory assumes that gas particles occupy a negligible fraction of the total volume of the gas. It also assumes that the force of attraction between gas molecules is zero.

However, during high pressure, the volume of the gas particles are not negligible compare to the total gas volume and as such the volume of a real gas under such condition is higher than the Ideal gas. Vander-waal attempted to modify the ideal gas equation by subtracting the excess volume from the ideal equation. The increased volume is the reason the measured pressure of a real gas is  less than an ideal gas

On the other hand,  close to condensation, the other  assumption of negligible forces of attraction becomes invalid. As inter-molecular distances decrease, inter-molecular forces increase reducing the bombardment of the wall of the container due to restricted particle movement and lower measured gas pressure.

Compare the boiling points of alcohol, ethers and alkanes and explain one reason for the difference
scoundrel [369]

Alcohols have higher boiling points than do ethers and alkanes of similar molar masses.

<h3>What is meant by Boiling Point ?</h3>

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid is called the boiling point of the substance.

Approximately boiling point of Ethanol: 78.4°C, ether: 34.6°C, ethanes: 68°C

The reason for the difference is that it takes more energy to separate alcohol molecules then it does to separate alkane molecules and ether molecules.

The OH group in  alcohol allows molecules to engage in hydrogen bonding.

Therefore Boiling point are in the order ;

Alcohol > alkane > ethers

Which of the following is not the same as 0.00684 kg?
olchik [2.2K]

kg and all the given units are units used to measure mass.

kg is the standard unit to measure mass

lets find the value of 0.00684 kg in all the given units

a. dkg

1 kg is equivalent to 100 decagram (dkg)

therefore 0.00684 kg is = 100 dkg/kg x 0.00684 kg = 0.684 dkg

this is not the given value therefore this choice is incorrect

b. 1 kg is equivalent to 1000 g

therefore 0.00684 kg = 1000 g/kg x 0.00684 kg = 6.84 g

this is the given value so this is correct

c. 1 kg is equivalent to 100 000 centigrams (cg)

therefore 0.00684 kg = 100 000 cg/kg x 0.00684 kg = 684 cg

this is the given value so this is also correct

d) 1 kg is equivalent to 1 000 000 mg

therefore 0.00684 kg = 1 000 000 mg/kg x 0.00684 kg = 6 840 mg

this too is correct

the incorrect answer is A. 0.0684 dkg
