A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gas that smells like rotten eggs. It can be produced by bacteria in your mouth and contributes to ba

Doss [256]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, we consider the questions:

a. Ideal gas at:

i. 273.15 K and 22.414 L.

ii. 500 K and 100 cm³.

b. Van der Waals gas at:

i. 273.15 K and 22.414 L.

ii. 500 K and 100 cm³.

Thus, we define the ideal gas equation and the van der Waals one as shown below:

$P^{id}=\frac{nRT}{V}\\\\ P^{vdW}=\frac{RT}{v-b}-\frac{a}{v^2}$

Whereas b and a for hydrogen sulfide are 0.0434 L/mol and 4.484 L²*atm / mol² respectively, therefore, we proceed as follows:

i. 273.15 K and 22.414 L.

$P^{id}=\frac{1.00mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15K}{22.414L}=1 .00 atm$

ii. 500 K and 100 cm³ (0.1 L).

$P^{id}=\frac{1.00mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*500K}{0.100L}=410.3 atm$

i. 273.15 K and 22.414 L: in this case, v = 22.414 L / 1.00 mol = 22.414 L/mol

$P^{vdW}=\frac{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15K}{22.414L/mol-0.0434L/mol}-\frac{4.484 atm*L^2/mol^2}{(22.414L/mol)^2}=0.993atm$

ii. 500 K and 100 cm³: in this case, v = 0.1 L / 1.00 mol = 0.100 L/mol

$P^{vdW}=\frac{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*500K}{0.100L/mol-0.0434L/mol}-\frac{4.484 atm*L^2/mol^2}{(0.100L/mol)^2}=276.5atm$

Whereas we can see a significant difference when the gas is at 500 K and occupy a volume of 0.100 L.

Best regards!

Draw the Lewis structure for methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) in the box below. Then predict which would have the higher boiling

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have 8 electrons (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have 4 valence electrons, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an additional carbon. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have more area of interaction for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give more energy to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!
