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

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.

How does knowing the reactants and products help you classify a chemical reaction? Write a short paragraph explaining.
Maurinko [17]
Answer:

This is wirtten all in one paragraph, because that is what the question asks.

There are five main type of reactions under which you can classify most chemical reactions. Those are: combination (also known as shythesis), decomposition, combustion, single replacement and double replacement. You know that it is a synthesis (combination) reactions when there are two reactants and one single product (the two reactants are combined to form one single product). When you have one single reactant and two or more products, it is a decomposition reaction (the one reactant decomposed). When oxygen is one of the reactants the reaction is a combustion. When ions are exchanged you are in front of replacement reactions: if it is one ion which is exchanged it is single replacement, and if there are two reactants and two products in which the ions are exchanged, then it is a double replacement reaction.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

So sorry if I was wrong but I think it's B. Because from the source states,

https://socratic.org/questions/which-group-on-the-periodic-table-is-the-least-reactive-why

"The least reactive elements are those who have a full outermost valence shell ie they have 8 electrons in the outer shell so elements such as helium, neon, radon or the transition elements."

A solution has a pH of 2.5. what is the H+
romanna [79]

<u>Answer: </u>The concentration of H^+ in the solution is 3.16\times 10^{-3}M

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution.

pH=-\log [H^+]      .....(1)

We are given:

pH of solution = 2.5

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

2.5=-\log [H^+]

[H^+]=10^{-2.5}

[H^+]=3.16\times 10^{-3}M

Hence, the concentration of H^+ in the solution is 3.16\times 10^{-3}M
