Answer: (3) Chlorine molecules have weak intermolecular forces of attraction.

Explanation: In order to liquefy a gas, the molecules must be brought closer. Chlorine being a gas has weak inter molecular forces of attraction and the molecules are far away from each other.

Thus decreasing the temperature would decrease the kinetic energy of the molecules and increase in pressure would bring the molecules close together to convert it into liquid phase.

4 is correct. Since gases are made of rapidly moving molecules with a relatively high amount of kinetic energy, the molecules have a hard time coming together to form a liquid. You must lower their kinetic energy with a low temperature and force the molecules together with high pressure.

How many moles are present in 54.8 mL of mercury if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL?

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

3.72 mol Hg

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Using Dimensional Analysis
Density = Mass over Volume

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

D = 13.6 g/mL

54.8 mL Hg

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol

Step 3: Find

13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL

x = 745.28 g Hg

Step 4: Convert

$745.28 \ g \ Hg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Hg}{200.59 \ g \ Hg} )$ = 3.71544 mol Hg

Step 5: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg

Explain the following phenomena. why Fluorine has lower electron affinity than chlorine

Radda [10]

Electron affinity for fluorine is than chlorine most likely , due to the electron repulsion that occur between the electron where n= 2 . the elements in the second period have such small electron clouds that electron repulsion is greater than that of the rest of the family.
