Compare the density of the he atom with that of pure water, which is 1.0 g/cm3.

3 0

At room temperature, water is liquid in form. For helium, it is gas because it is the second lightest element in nature. So, you would expect the density of Helium to be much less than 1 g/cm³. Because gas is very light and occupies a lot of space, the density would result to a very small number.

Which liquid has the highest vapor pressure at 75°C?

Temka [501]

Answer:

1) Ethanol

Explanation:

If we will have interactions we will need more energy to break them in order to go from liquid to gas. If we need more energy, therefore, the temperature will be higher.

In this case, we can discard the propanone because this molecule don't have the ability to form hydrogen bonds. (Let's remember that to have hydrogen bonds we need to have a hydrogen bond to a heteroatom, O, N, P or S).

Then we have to analyze the hydrogen bonds formed in the other molecules. For ethanol, we will have only 1 hydrogen bond. For water and ethanoic acid, we will have 2 hydrogen bonds, therefore, we can discard the ethanol.

For ethanoic acid, we have 2 intramolecular hydrogen bonds. For water we have 2 intermolecular hydrogen bonds, therefore, the strongest interaction will be in the ethanoic acid.

The closer boiling point to the 75ºC is the ethanol (boiling point of 78.8 ºC) therefore these molecules would have enough energy to break the hydrogen bonds and to past from liquid to gas.

What best explains why the box’s final kinetic energy is less than its initial potential energy

ziro4ka [17]

Some potential energy was converted into thermal energy due to friction. The acceleration due to gravity became smaller as the box slid down the ramp.
