The intermolecular interactions found between pentane molecules are London-Dispersion Forces.

Explaination:

Step 1:
Instantaneous Dipole: As the pentane molecule is non polar in nature and the electron density on each molecule is symmetrical. When this symmetrical molecule approaches second symmetrical molecule there disturbance is caused due to repulsion between electrons. Due to repulsion the electrons changes there position and for a small period of time an instantaneous dipole is produced on pentane molecule.

Step 2:
Induced Dipole: The dipole produced in step one when approaches another symmetrical pentane molecule, the partial positive part (low electron density site) attracts the electron from symmetrical pentane and induces polarity in it.

In this way the process repeats and interactions are developed between the non polar pentane molecules.

Answer:

trigonal pyramid

Explanation:

$PH_3$

Valence electrons of phosphorus = 5

Valence electrons of hydrogen = 1

The total number of the valence electrons = 5 + 3(1) = 8

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So,

The Lewis structure is shown below in the image below.

The central atom , P has 3 bonded pairs of electrons and 1 non bonded.

Number of bond pairs = 3

Number of lone pairs = 1

The formula is $AB_3L$ .

According to VSEPR theory, $PH_3$ has trigonal pyramidal shape to minimize the repulsions.

Describe how a constant volume calorimeter can be used to measure the heat transferred from a burning piece of coal to cool wate

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

A Calorimeter is a device used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process.

Explanation:

Ex- when an exothermic reaction ( accompanied by or requiring absorption of heat)occurs in solution in a calorimeter, the heat produced by the reaction is absorbed by the solution increasing its temperature.

- When an endothermic reaction (Heat evolving reaction) occurs, the heat required is absorbed from the thermal energy of the solution, decreasing its temperature.

A burning piece of coal which is releasing heat due to its combustion and is transferred to water.
