Bayer, a German pharmaceutical company, named the substance it synthesized "heroin", probably from the word heroisch, German for heroic, because in field studies people using the medicine felt "heroic".

Calculate the decrease in temperarure when 2.00 L at 20.0 degrees celsius is compressed to 1.00 L.
Serga [27]
I suspect that the pressure of this change is constant therefore

The equation is used from the combined gas law. (When pressure is constant both P's will cancel out P/P = 1)
V/T = V/T
Initial   Change

Initially we have 2L at 20 degress what temperature will be at 1L.

2/20 = 1/T
0.1 = 1/T
0.1T = 1
T = 1/0.1
T = 10 degress celsius.

Hope this helps if you won't be able to understand what is the combined gas law just tell me :).

Carbon dioxide and helium which has a higher van der waals force of attraction between molecules ​
raketka [301]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide  

Explanation:

Neither helium nor carbon dioxide has a molecular dipole, so their strongest van der Waals attractive forces are London forces.

Helium is a small spherical atom with only a two electrons, so its atoms have quite weak attractions to each other.

CO₂ is a large linear molecule. It has more electrons than helium, so the attractive forces are greater. Furthermore, the molecules can align themselves compactly side-by-side and maximize the attractions (see below).

For example. CO₂ becomes a solid at -78 °C, but helium must be cooled to -272 °C to make it freeze (that's just 1 °C above absolute zero).
