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 pump contains 1.5 L of air at 175 kPa. You draw back on the piston of the pump, expanding the volume until the pressure reads
Tresset [83]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{86.8 L}}

Explanation:

The temperature and amount of gas are constant, so we can use Boyle’s Law.

p_{1}V_{1} = p_{2}V_{2}

Data:

\begin{array}{rclrcl}p_{1}& =& \text{0.579 atm}\qquad & V_{1} &= & \text{150 L} \\p_{2}& =& \text{1.00 atm}\qquad & V_{2} &= & ?\\\end{array}

Calculations:  

\begin{array}{rcl}0.579 \times 150 & =& 1.00V_{2}\\86.85 & = & 1.00V_{2}\\V_{2} & = &\dfrac{86.85}{1.00}\\\\& = &\textbf{86.8}\\\end{array}\\\text{The new volume of the gas is } \large \boxed{\textbf{86.8 L}}

___________ is the scale used to describe how acidic or basic a solution is. This affects the enzymes within living systems.
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

pH scale

Explanation:

pH scale -

In the field of chemistry , the accurate and exact value of acidity or basicity in a particular solution is calculated with the help of a pH scale .

The scale has reading ranging from 1 to 14 ,

where ,

  • If the pH value less than 7 indicates the solution to be acidic in nature ,
  • If the pH value is exactly equal to 7 , the solution is neutral in nature ,

and ,

  • If the pH value more than 7 indicates the solution to be basic in nature ,

Hence , from the given statement of the question ,

The correct answer is pH scale .
