One experimental property directly related to the strength of intermolecular forces is the boiling point of a substance.
In the liquid state, the intermolecular forces play a large role in the behavior of the substance. If the boiling point is low, this indicates weak forces such as Van der Waal's forces. On the other hand, a high boiling point indicates strong intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonds.
Answer:
The process that converts a solid mcompound into a gas is sublimation.
E.g- dry ice, solid iodine and ammonium salts
when the above solid are heated, only particles which are found on the surface of the solid gain enough energy and break all forces of attraction and form a gas.

Answer:
One gallon of octane produces approximately 7000 L of carbon dioxide.
Note:
I believe that the mass of octane should have been given as 2661 g. However, I understand that your instructor probably gave you this problem, so I will use 4000 g for the approximate mass of one gallon of octane. You can rework the problem on your own, substituting the correct masses of octane if you wish.
Step1. You must first determine the number of moles that are in 4000 g of octane, using the molar mass of octane. Step 2. Then you must determine the number of moles of carbon dioxide that can be produced by that number of moles of octane, based on the mole ratio between octane and carbon dioxide in the balanced equation. Step 3. Then use the ideal gas law to determine the volume in liters of carbon dioxide that can be formed.
Answer:
Explanation:
At constant pressure and temperature, the mole ratio of the gases is equal to their volume ratio (a consequence of Avogadro's law).
Hence, the <em>complete combustion reaction</em> that has a ratio of 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon to 300 ml of oxygen, is that whose mole ratio is 1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol of oxygen.
Then, you must write the balanced chemical equations for the complete combustion of the four hydrocarbons in the list of choices, and conclude which has such mole ratio (1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol oxygen).
A complete combustion reaction of a hydrocarbon is the reaction with oxygen that produces CO₂ and H₂O, along with the release of heat and light.
<u>a. C₂H₄:</u>
- C₂H₄ (g) + 3O₂ (g) → 2CO₂(g) + 2H₂O (g)
Precisely, for this reaction the mole ratio is 1 mol C₂H₄: 2 mol O₂, hence, this is the right choice.
The following analysis just shows that the other options are not right.
<u>b. C₂H₂:</u>
- 2C₂H₂ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O (g)
The mole ratio for this reaction is 2 mol C₂H₂ :5 mol O₂.
<u>с. С₃Н₈</u>
- C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O (g)
The mole ratio is 1 mol C₃H₈ : 5 mol O₂
<u>d. C₂H₆</u>
- 2C₂H₆ (g) +7 O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O (g)
The mole ratio is 2 mol C₂H₆ : 7 mol O₂
