Water freezes at 0∘C and CO freezes at −205∘C. Which type of intermolecular force accounts for this difference in freezing point

between the two compounds?
Chemistry

Assoli18 [71]3 years ago

Explanation:

The dipoles in CO are in opposite directions so they cancel each other out, although CO₂ has polar bonds, it is a nonpolar molecule. Therefore, the only intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces. Water (H2O) has hydrogen bond present which is a polar bond which has a high intermolecular force.

Water which has high intermolecular force will require more energy that is a higher temperature to overcome these attractions and are pulled together tightly to form a solid at higher temperatures, so their freezing point is higher.

As the temperature of a liquid decreases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases and they move more slowly.

CO with lower intermolecular forces will not solidify until the temperature is lowered further.

What are the two basic ways in which ions form from atoms?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge. When an atom loses an electron, it loses a negative charge and becomes a positive ion. When an atom gains an electron, it gains a negative charge and becomes a negative ion. a sodium ion forms when a sodium atom loses one electron and becomes positively charged. a chloride ion forms when a chlorine atom gains one electron and becomes negatively charged.

Hope this helps,

Describe, in detail, how to make 5.5 liters of a 2.5 molar HCl solution from a 10.5 molar HCl stock solution.
Misha Larkins [42]
The stock solution contains 10.5 moles of HCl per litre. A 5.5 litre solution of 2.5M HCl contains 5.5x2.5 = 13.75moles of HCl. Since every litre of stock solution provides 10.5M HCl, the amount of stock solution needed is 13.75/10.5 = 1.309L. Therefore you would dilute 1.309L of stock solution to 5.5L

What effect would a decrease or increase in barometric pressure have on the boiling point
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Pressure Affects the Boiling Point

Atmospheric pressure influences the boiling point of water. When atmospheric pressure increases, the boiling point becomes higher, and when atmospheric pressure decreases (as it does when elevation increases), the boiling point becomes lower.

HELPPPPP ME <br><br>PLISSSSS ​
Talja [164]

Answer:

pH value of a solution depends on the concentration of hydrogen ions

(pH = -log[H+(aq)].

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, while ethanoic acid is a weak acid. Strong acids ionize completely in water (to give ions which includes H+(aq)), while weak acids only ionize partially in water.  

Therefore, even if both hydrochloric acid and ethanoic acid are monobasic acids (each molecule can ionize completely to give 1 hydrogen ion), since hydrochloric acid ionizes completely in water and ethanoic acid does not ionize completely, the concentration of hydrogen ions in hydrochloric acid is higher than that of ethanoic acid, leading to a lower pH value for hydrochloric acid, while higher for ethanoic acid.

what is the region surrounding the nucleus which is occupied by electrons?????? its a crossword ( _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ C _ _ _ _)
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Electron cloud

Explanation:

The electron cloud is an informal term in chemistry and physics. This region describes the negatively charged electrons in their orbit surrounding the nucleus in an atom. The nucleus has protons in it that have a positive charge on it. It is not easy to know where exactly an electron in any specific time but the electron cloud helps to know electron is moving in this specific area.
