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?

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.

A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to prod
Olin [163]

Answer:

The answer is 6.25g.

Explanation:

First create your balanced equation. This will give you the stoich ratios needed to answer the question:

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Remember, we need to work in terms of NUMBERS, but the question gives us MASS. Therefore the next step is to convert the mass of O2 into moles of O2 by dividing by the molar mass:

7.72 g / 16 g/mol = 0.482 mol

Now we can use the stoich ratio from the equation to determine how many moles of H2O are produced:

x mol H2O / 0.482 mol O2 = 18 H2O / 25 O2

x = 0.347 mol H2O

The question wants the mass of water, so convert moles back into mass by multiplying by the molar mass of water:

0.347 mol x 18 g/mol = 6.25g

Identify the atomic orbitals in the C-C sigma bond in ethyne (acetylene HC-triplebond-CH)
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

A sigma bond is formed  when a hybrid orbital sp overlaps with another hybrid orbital or with s- or  p- orbital

Ethylene has a structural formula of  H - C≡ C- H

At the ground state; we have :

C    | ⇅ |     |↑ | ↑

        2s       2p

At the excited state, we have:

C    | ↑ |     |↑ | ↑ | ↑

the hybrid orbital

C = | ↑ | ↑ |
