Which of the following statements is true about the strength of the intermolecular forces in CH4 and NH3?

Chemistry

inn [45]3 years ago

Answer:- C) CH_4 because the NH bond is more polar than CH bond.

Explanations:- methane is tetrahedral and it is symmetrical as all the bonds are same. Also, the electron negativity difference of C and H is too low and the molecule is almost non polar and makes the methane to have London dispersion forces.

Ammonia is trigonal pyramidal due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on central nitrogen atom. Nitrogen is highly electron negative atom so the N-H bond is more polar. Also, hydrogen bonding is possible in ammonia as the hydrogen is bonded to more electron negative nitrogen atom.

First option is not correct as the inter molecular forces are weaker in methane as compared to ammonia. Methane has only London dispersion forces where as ammonia has dipole-dipole as well as hydrogen bonding.

Second option is also not correct because the carbon has less partial negative charge as compared to N due to less electron negativity difference of C and H atoms.

Last choice is also not correct since the hydrogen bonding is not present in methane.

So, the only and only correct choice is C) CH_4 because the NH bond is more polar than CH bond.

A mixture containing initially 3.90 mole of NO(g) and 0.88 mole of CO2(g) was allowed to react in a flask of volume 1.00 L at a
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction will be 1.722

Explanation:

O2(g)+NO(g)→CO(g)+ NO2(g)

0.88    3.9        ---         ---

0.88x   3.9-x     x           x

GIVEN:

0.88X-X= 0.11

⇒ X=0.77

CO2(g)+NO(g) → CO(g) + NO2(g)

0.88       3.9         ---          ---

0.88-x    3.9-x      x            x

=              3.13       0.77      0.77

=0.11

Kc = \frac{[CO] *[NO2]} {[CO2]*[NO]}

     ={{0.77}×0.77÷{{0.11×3.13}}

     = 1.722

Describe light with respect to its speed and its dual nature as both a wave and a particle.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Scientists have been debating over light being a wave or particle since its recognition.

Sir Issac Newton discovered that light had frequency and other properties. Newton described light to be a particle because it created shadows which were sharp and very clear.

Francesco Maria Grimaldi, claimed that light was a wave. This was because this scientist observed the diffraction of light and hence, claimed light to be a type of wave.

The speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s. Nothing can travel faster than light.
