Answer:

Attraction between molecules of methane in liquid state is primarily due to "London dispersion force".

Explanation:

Methane is a non-polar and aprotic molecule. Hence there is no dipole moment in methane as well as no chance of hydrogen bonding formation by methane.

We know that all molecules contain electrons. Therefore transient dipole arises in every molecule due to revolution of electrons around nucleus in a non-circular orbit. Hence an weak intermolecular attraction force is always present in every molecule as a result of this which is termed as "London dispersion force".

So, attraction between molecules of methane in liquid state is primarily due to "London dispersion force".

A car travelling at 20km per hour emits about 0.0750kg of carbon monoxide per kilometre. How many mole of carbon monoxide are em
natta225 [31]

Answer:

2.67761514 moles

Explanation:

0.075kg equates to 75g.

This means that the car emits 75g of CO per km.

dividing 75g by the molar mass of CO (28.01g/mol) we get 2.67761514 moles
