Answer:

b. ICl experiences dipole-dipole interactions

Explanation:

The molecule with the stronger intermolecular forces will have the higher boiling point.

In Br₂, the Br-Br bond has a dipole moment of zero, because the two atoms are identical.

In ICl, the I-Cl bond, has two different atoms. One must be more electronegative than the other, so there will be a non-zero bond dipole.

ICl will have the higher boiling point.

a is wrong. Br₂ is nonpolar, so it has no dipole-dipole interactions.

c is wrong. Br₂ cannot form hydrogen bonds, because there is no hydrogen.

d is wrong. ICl has dipole-dipole interactions.

Specify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the neutral atom bromine-80.

jolli1 [7]

80 equals the mass number. In the periodic table, the atomic number of Bromine is 35. The atomic number equals the number of protons.
80-35= number of neutrons (mass-protons)
So, we have P=35 N=45
Furthermore, since the atom is neutral that must mean that the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
e=35

GarryVolchara [31]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Welding is an industrial process that is used to join pieces of metal. A certain mixture of gases used in welding is composed of carbon dioxide and argon. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 0.080 atm and the partial pressure of argon is 0.24 atm. What is the total pressure of the mixture.

Answer: 0.32 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

$p_{total}=p_{CO_2}+p_{Ar}$

Given : $p_{total}$ =total pressure of gases = ?

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.080 atm

$p_{Ar}$ = partial pressure of argon = 0.24 atm

putting in the values we get:

$p_{total}=0.080atm+0.24atm$

$p_{total}=0.32atm$

Thus the total pressure of the gases is 0.32 atm

Melts in the system pb-sn exhibit regular solution behavior. at 473°c apb = 0.055 in a liquid solution of xpb = 0.1. calculate t

Masteriza [31]

Given the temperature 746 K and activity of Pb equal to 0.055. The mole fraction of Pb is 0.1. So, the mole fraction of Sn = 0.9.Activity coefficient, γ = 0.055 / 0.1 = 0.55.The expression for w=ln⁡〖γ_Pb x RT〗/(X_Sn^2 )=(-0.5978 x 8.314 J/(mol K ) x 746 K)/(0.9 x 0.9)= -4577.7 J= -4578 J

Now we use the computed value above and new temperature 773 K. The mole fraction of Sn and Pb are 0.5 and 0.5 respectively. Calculate the activity coefficient in the following manner.lnγ_Sn=w/RT X_Pb^2=(-4578 J)/(8.314 J/mol x 773 K) x 0.5 x 0.5= -0.718lnγ_Sn=exp⁡(-0.178)=0.386The activity of Sn= γ_Sn x X_Sn=0.386 x 0.5=0.418
w of the system is -4578 J and the activity of Sn in the liquid solution of xsn at 500 degree Celsius is 0.418

What is the chemical equation for the boiling of Coca Cola to determine sugar content

yKpoI14uk [10]

Your best guess for the boiling point of any version of Coke would be 100 C, the boiling point of water.

Diet Coke is mostly water (the flavourings are a very small amount relative to the amount of water). The largest ingredient will be the sweetener but there will be only a fraction of a gram of that. It is unlikely you will notice any deviation from the properties of water.

Standard Coke has quite a lot of sugar in it. A standard can (~300ml) contains about 40g of sugar. To put it another way, the contents are more than 10% sugar by weight and the solution is about 1/3 mol/L of sucrose (other sugars will be slightly different). A standard calculation using the ebullioscopic constant for water suggests the elevation of the boiling point will be barely 0.2 C, so small you'd struggle to measure it without good instruments and a good experimental setup.
