Answer:

You should expect that the ionic bond in LiBr is stronger than the bond in KBr.

Explanation:

The ionic bonds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between the ions, cations and anions.

In KBr the cation is K⁺ and the anion is Br⁻.

In LiBr the cation is Li⁺ and the anion is Br⁻.

You must expect that the bond strength depends mainly on the charges present on each ion and the distance between them.

Nevertheless, the effect of the distance between the radius dominate the trendency of the bond strength, which makes that the ionic strength trend be related to the ionic radius trend.

Lithium is a smaller ion than Potassium (both are in the same group and Lithium is above Potassium).

Thus, you should expect that the Li ion is closer to the Br ion than what the K ion is to the Br ion and expect that the bond between a Li ion and the Br ion be stronger than the bond between the K ion and the Br ion.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

Explanation:

The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.

The two most important scales are:

- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).

- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.

The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

$T(K)=T(^{\circ}C)+273.15$

Therefore in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

a sample of 3.00 g of so2 (g)originally in a 5.00 L vesselat 21 degee Celsius is transferred to a 10.0 L vessel at 26 degree Cel

eimsori [14]

Answer:

1) The partial pressure of SO₂ gas in the larger container = 0.115 atm.

2) The partial pressure of N₂ gas in the larger container = 0.206 atm.

3) The total pressure in the vessel = 0.321 atm.

Explanation:

To calculate the partial pressure of each gas, we can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the partial pressure of the gas in atm,

V is the volume of the vessel in L,

n is the no. of moles of the gas,

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

1) What is the partial pressure of SO₂ gas in the larger container?

∵ P = nRT/V.

n = mass/molar mass = (3.0 g)/(64.066 g/mol) = 0.047 mol.

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K.

T = 26 °C + 273.15 = 299.15 K.

V = 10.0 L. (The volume of the new container)

∴ P = nRT/V = (0.047 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(299.15 K)/(10.0 L) = 0.115 atm.

2) What is the partial pressure of N₂ gas in the larger container?

∵ P = nRT/V.

n = mass/molar mass = (2.35 g)/(28.0 g/mol) = 0.084 mol.

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K.

T = 26 °C + 273.15 = 299.15 K.

V = 10.0 L. (The volume of the new container)

∴ P = nRT/V = (0.084 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(299.15 K)/(10.0 L) = 0.206 atm.

3) What is the total pressure in the vessel?

According to Dalton's law the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

∵ The total pressure in the vessel = the partial pressure of SO₂ + the partial pressure of N₂.

∴ The total pressure in the vessel = 0.115 + 0.206 = 0.321 atm.

What will be the volume of a gas sample at 358 K if its volume at 255 K is 7.4 L?

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

10.4 L

Explanation:

V1/T1=V2/T2

V2= (V1*T2)/T1

V2= (7.4L * 358K)/255K

V2=10.4 L
