How do intermolecular forces help explain differences in phase changes (boiling point, melting point)

Chemistry

Ivahew [28]3 years ago

Do you mean differences among various substances eg: H2O vs CO2? IMFs determine boiling and melting points by deciding how strongly molecules want to hold on to each other. The strength of IMFs depend on the type of IMFs, eg: dipole-dipole, ion-dipole, induced dipole (London dispersion), etc. Weak IMFs= low boiling point. IMFs also determine many other properties including vapor pressure, etc.

Heat is transferred by conduction through a wall of thickness 0.87 m. What is the rate of heat transfer if the walls thermal con
erik [133]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         Thickness (dx) = 0.87 m,       thermal conductivity (k) = 13 W/m-K

        Surface area (A) = 5 m^{2},       T_{1} = 14^{o}C

        T_{2} = 93^{o}C

According to Fourier's law,

                    Q = -kA \frac{dT}{dx}

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                      Q = -kA \frac{dT}{dx}

                          = -13 W/m-k \times 5 m^{2} \times \frac{(14 - 93)}{0.87 m}

                          = 5902.298 W

Therefore, we can conclude that the rate of heat transfer is 5902.298 W.

How many of the following are found in 15.0 kmol of xylene (C8H10)? (a) kg C8H10; (b) mol C8H10; (c) lb-mole C8H10; (d) mol (g-a
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

a) 1592.4 kg C8H10

b) 15*10³ mol C8H10

c) 33.1 lb-mole

d) 1.2 *10^5 mol C

e)  1.5 * 10^5 mol H

f)  1.44 * 10^6 grams C

g) 1.52 * 10^5 grams H

h) 9.03*10^27 molecules C8H10

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles C8H10 = 15.0 kmol =15000 moles

Molar mass of C8H10 = 106.16 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass C8H10

Mass C8H10 = moles C8H10 * molar mass C8H10

Mass C8H10 = 15000 * 106.16 g/mol

Mass C8H10 = 1592400 grams = 1592.4 kg

Step 3: Calculate moles C8H10

15.0 kmol = 15*10³ mol C8H10

Step 4: Calculate lb-mol

15.0 kmol = 33.1 lb-mole

Step 5: Calculate moles of C

For 1 mol C8H10 we have 8 moles of C

For 15*10³ mol C8H10 we have 8* 15*10³  =1.2 *10^5 mol C

Step 6: Calculate moles H

For 1 mol C8H10 we have 10 moles of H

For 15*10³ mol C8H10 we have 10* 15*10³  = 1.5 * 10^5 mol H

Step 7: Calculate mass of C

Mass C = moles C * molar mass C

Mass C = 1.2 *10^5 mol C * 12 g/mol

Mass C = 1.44 * 10^6 grams

Step 8: Calculate mass of H

Mass H = moles H * molar mass H

Mass H = 1.5 *10^5 mol H * 1.01 g/mol

Mass C = 1.52 * 10^5 grams

Step 9: Calculate molecules of C8H10

Number of molecules = number of moles * number of Avogadro

Number of molecules =  15*10³ mol C8H10 * 6.022*10^23

Number of molecules = 9.03*10^27 molecules
