Difference between Gas and Vapour:
                                                          
Gas:
        A thermodynamic state in which a substance exists only in one phase i.e. Gas phase. In above given examples N₂, He and CO₂ exists as gases at room temperature. These gases cannot form a solid or liquid phase along with gas phase as these states requires very low temperatures.

Vapours:
               It is a thermodyanamic state in which a substance exists in more than one phase. In given options Sulfur can exist in vapor state. This is because sulfur exists in a cyclic or chain form due to catenation (self linkage property). Therefore, a lower members of S allotrops can form a vapours.

A 0.334 g sample of an unknown halogen occupies 109 mL at 398 K and 1.41 atm. What is the identity of the halogen?
kolezko [41]
We can use the ideal gas law equation for the above reaction to find the number of moles present 
PV = nRT 
P - pressure - 1.41 atm x 101325 Pa/atm = 142 868 Pa
V - 109 x 10⁻⁶ m³
R - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - 398 K
substituting the values in the equation 
142 868 Pa x 109 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 398 K
n = 4.70 x 10⁻³ mol
number of moles = mass present / molar mass
molar mass = mass / number of moles  
                   = 0.334 g/ 4.70 x 10⁻³ mol = 71.06 g/mol
halogens exist as diatomic molecules 
Therefore atomic mass - 71.06 / 2 = 35.5 
halogen with 35.5 g/mol is Cl
unknown halogen is Cl

Which of the following you do NOT need to pay attention while using a centrifuge?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The radius of the centrifuge.

Explanation:

Hello,

Since the radius of the centrifuge is just a design parameter, it wouldn't be a cause of failure because it is used to know how many tubes could be fitted in into the centrifuge. On the other hand, keeping you attention away from other factors could turn into a failure as long as the sample could be poured down or just turn out inadequate for the expected results.

Best regards.

Which element has 1s2s2p3s3p electron configuration?
Rus_ich [418]
To answer this problem, we need to count the electrons in the given configuration. The complete configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6. There are 2+2+6+2+6 equal to 18 electrons. We find next the element with an atomic number of 18. That element is noble gas argon.

Answer:

a) Neutralisation

b) Combustion

c) Synthesis

d) Decomposition

e) Neutralisation

f) Double Displacement Reaction

h) Single Displacement Reaction

i) Double Displacement Reaction

j) Combustion

Explanation:

Synthesis  is a reaction where various compounds/ elements react to form a totally new compound.

Decomposition is a reaction where a single compound breaks down into several components due to excessive heating or energy applied.

Single Displacement Reaction is a type of chemical reaction where an element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound.

Double Displacement Reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and the positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products.

Combustion is a reaction where a compound/ element oxidises in the presence of Oxygen.

Neutralisation reaction is a reaction where an acid reacts with a base to form a salt.

1. For each of the molecules below, determine the electron geometry, molecule geometry, and bond
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

CCl4- tetrahedral bond angle 109°

PF3 - trigonal pyramidal bond angles less than 109°

OF2- Bent with bond angle much less than 109°

I3 - linear with bond angles = 180°

A molecule with two double bonds and no lone pairs - linear molecule with bond angle =180°

Explanation:

Valence shell electron-pair repulsion theory (VSEPR theory) helps us to predict the molecular shape, including bond angles around a central atom, of a molecule by examination of the number of bonds and lone electron pairs in its Lewis structure. The VSEPR model assumes that electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement which tends to minimize repulsions between these electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The electrons in the valence shell of a central atom are either bonding pairs of electrons, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs. The electrostatic repulsion of these electrons is reduced when the various regions of high electron density assume positions as far apart from each other as possible.

Lone pairs and multiple bonds are known to cause more repulsion than single bonds and bond pairs. Hence the presence of lone pairs or multiple bonds tend to distort the molecular geometry geometry away from that predicted on the basis of VSEPR theory. For instance CCl4 is tetrahedral with no lone pair and four regions of electron density around the central atom. This is the expected geometry. However OF2 also has four regions of electron density but has a bent structure. The molecule has four regions of electron density but two of them are lone pairs causing more repulsion. Hence the observed bond angle is less than 109°.
