Oxygen is a gas at room temperature, while water is a liquid. Use intermolecular forces to explain the difference in state.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Water has stronger attractions (dipole-dipole)

Explanation:

Oxygen gas has a double bond and has dipole moments that cancel out, as both oxygens evidently have similar electronegativities. Therefore, oxygen only has London-dispersion forces and is nonpolar.

Water is polar and therefore has dipole-dipole attractions in addition to London-dispersion forces and as both the H2O and the O2 have similar electron tendencies (mostly due to O being prevalent in both), the London-dispersion forces don't differ by much. But since water has those dipole-dipole attractions, water has a higher boiling point than oxygen gas

What makes an atom neutral
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

A normal atom has a neutral charge with equal numbers of positive and negative particles. That means an atom with a neutral charge is one where the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number. Ions are atoms with extra electrons or missing electrons.

Ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) is a water soluble compound that readily combines with metals such as calcium, magnesi
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

There should be added 24.33g of EDTA

Explanation:

EDTA + Ca2+ → Ca(EDTA)

MM of EDTA = 292.24g/mole

MM of Ca2+ =40g/mole

An aqueos waste contains 20 mg/L Calcium,  and collects the waste in 44 gallon drums.

The concentration of Ca2+ ions = 20mg/L = 0.02g/L

We know 1 gallon = 3.785L

The mass of calcium ions  is in 44 gallons

⇒44 gallons = 3.785 * 44 = 166.54 L

Since the aqueous waste contains 0.02g/L calcium

in 44 gallons or 166.54 L ⇒ 166.54 * 0.02g = 3.308g

MM of Ca2+ = 40g/mole

⇒40g of Ca2+ reacts with 292.24g of EDTA

⇒ (292.24/40 ) * 3.308g = 24.33 g

There should be added 24.33g of EDTA
