What does percent composition tell you about a substance

Chemistry

Explanation:

Percentage composition tells you the percentage of each element present in a compound or molecule. This allows you to work out the number of atoms of each element present in the molecule.  Percent composition is important because it allows us to determine the percentage of each element that makes up a specific compound. Percent composition is important because it allows us to determine the percentage of each element that makes up a specific compound.

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: ammonia (nh3), carbon tetrachloride
Kay [80]
  • NH₃: Hydrogen bonds;
  • CCl₄: London Dispersion Forces; (a.k.a. Induced dipole)
  • HCl: Dipole-dipole Interactions.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

Relative strength of intermolecular forces in small molecules:

Hydrogen bonds > Dipole-dipole interactions > London DIspersion Forces.

It takes two conditions for molecules in a substance to form <em>hydrogen bonds</em>.

  • They shall contain at least one of the three bonds: H-F, O-H, or N-H.
  • They shall contain at least one lone pair of electrons.

NH₃ contains N-H bonds. The central nitrogen atom in an NH₃ molecule has one lone pair of electrons. NH₃ meets both conditions; it is capable of forming hydrogen bonds.

CCl₄ molecules are nonpolar. The molecule has a tetrahedral geometry. Dipole from the polar C-Cl bonds cancel out due to symmetry. The molecule is nonpolar overall. As a result, only London Dispersion Force is possible between CCl₄ molecules.

HCl molecules are polar. The H-Cl bond is fairly polar. The HCl molecule is asymmetric, such that the dipole won't cancel out. The molecule is overall polar. Both dipole-dipole interactions and London Dispersion Force are possible between HCl molecules. However, dipole-dipole interactions are most predominant among the two.

Answer: I'm in no way like an expert but I've heard water goes from an elevated area to a lower area. So it should be arrows that start at a more elevated to less elevated. Like white to brown, and orange to yellow, and stuff like that. I hope that helped? Anyway, have a lovely day!

A tow truck uses a force of 100 N to pull a car 10 meters. How much work was done?
Rainbow [258]
W = F * s
W = 100 * 10
W = 1000 J

In short, Your Answer would be 1000 Joules

Hope this helps!
