Predict the density of acetylene gas (C2H2) at 0.910 atm and 20oC.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

d = 0.98 g/L

Explanation:

Given data:

Density of acetylene = ?

Pressure = 0.910 atm

Temperature = 20°C (20+273 = 293 K)

Solution:

Formula:

PM = dRT

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K

M = molecular mass = 26.04 g/mol

0.910 atm × 26.04 g/mol = d × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K×293 K

23.7  atm.g/mol = d × 24.1 atm.L/mol

d = 23.7  atm.g/mol / 24.1 atm.L/mol

d = 0.98 g/L

Sulfur is an element that can be seen on the periodic table. What will most likely occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with anot
Yakvenalex [24]

What is likely  to occur  if sulfur  forms an ionic  bond with another  element  is  <u>sulfur  will accept  electrons</u>

     

    <u><em> explanation</em></u>

  • Ionic bond is formed when  a metal react with a non metal.
  • Metal  loses ( donate) electrons  to form cation ( a positively charged  ion) , while  non metal accept (gain)  electrons  to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).

  • Sulfur  is a non metal  therefore it  accept  electrons if it form an ionic bond  with a metal. sulfur accept  2 electrons to  form S2- ion

Relate the intermolecular forces in hydrocarbons to their physical properties and uses
DENIUS [597]

The physical properties of alkenes and alkynes are generally similar to those of alkanes or cycloalkanes with equal numbers of carbon atoms. Alkynes have higher boiling points than alkanes or alkenes, because the electric field of an alkyne, with its increased number of weakly held π electrons, is more easily distorted, producing stronger attractive forces between molecules.
