Explain how the attractive forces between the particles in a liquid are related to the equilibirum vapour pressure of that liqui

drek231 [11]

Answer:

Attractive forces between particles are inversely proportional to vapour pressure.

Explanation:

Inside a liquid, molecules undergo random motion (thermal motion), but also interact with one another via electromagnetic forces of different kinds, like Van der Waals forces, ion-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonds, etc. These forces keep the liquid together, giving it a definite volume, in distinction to gases, which take the volume of the vessel that contains them.

Now, some molecules in a liquid can attain a high velocity as a random outcome of thermal motion, if this molecule is at the liquid's surface, it might actually escape! actually, many molecules might do that, and form a vapour over the liquid's surface.

Now, we know that liquids exist, therefore this process has to reach an equilibrium, that means, once the vapour becomes dense (or concentrated) enough, it would be as likely for a vapour molecule to re-enter the liquid as it is likely for a liquid molecule to leave the liquid and enter into the vapour.

This is called vapour-liquid equilibrium.

How can we measure how "concentrated" the vapour is? by measuring the pressure above the liquid. We know by the ideal gas law that the number of molecules in a gas is proportional to pressure at constant volume and temperature.

But how does vapour pressure relate to intermolecular forces?

Simply, the stronger the intermolecular forces, the less likely a molecule at the liquid's boundary will be to shoot of into the vapour phase! and viceversa, if intermolecular forces are very weak, the molecules won't hold together much and many molecules will leave the liquid.

As an extreme case imagine a solid, for which intermolecular forces are the strongest, what's the vapour pressure of a solid? Do solids evaporate into the air? The answer is no, solids (with few exceptions) don't evaporate, and their vapour pressure is extremely small.

Cheers!

Two molecules have the same molecular geometry but different electron domain geometries. Which combination of atoms and lone pai

m_a_m_a [10]

The correct answer is:
2 atoms and 2 lone pairs; 2 atoms and 1 lone pair.
Both AX₂E₂ and AX₂E have different electron domain geometry; AX₂E₂ is tetrahedral and AX₂E is trigonal planar but both of them has the same molecular geometry Bent

Assuming complete distribution, what is the molarity of 10 milligrams of lisinopril in 100 liters?

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

$2.47x10^{-7} M$

Explanation:

Lisoprisil's molecular mass is 405.488g/mol, we'll use this fact to calculate molarity, which units are mol/L, and we proceed to the calculus:

First, we'll unify unities, the 10 milligrams of lisinopril we'll transform into grams.

$10mg*\frac{1g}{1000mg}=0.01g$

Now that we have the same unities we'll calculate molarity using the molecular mass, the grams of lisinopril and the liters in which these grams are, let's consider that our final unities have to be mol/L.

$\frac{1mol}{405.488g}*\frac{0.01g}{100L}=2.47x10^{-7} M$

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

A titration of 0.1 M NaOH into 1.2 L of HCl was stopped once the pH reached 7 (at 25C). If 0.4 L of NaOH needed to be added to a

MArishka [77]

Answer:

0.033 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between NaOH and HCl.

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

0.4 L of 0.1 M NaOH were used. The reacting moles of NaOH are:

0.4 L × 0.1 mol/L = 0.04 mol

The molar ratio of NaOH to HCl is 1:1. The reacting moles of HCl are 0.04 moles.

0.04 moles of HCl are in 1.2 L. The molarity of HCl is:

M = 0.04 mol / 1.2 L = 0.033 M
