Methane has london dispersion forces since it is nonpolar. London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force, so the forces between its molecules will be weak. This leads to a low boiling point that is lower than room temperature, which makes it a gas at room temperature.

Answer:

hope it helps ❤

Explanation:

Methane only has london dispersion forces since it is nonpolar. London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force, so the forces between its molecules will be weak. This leads to a low boiling point that is lower than room temperature, which makes it a gas at room temperature.

What is the percent by mass of water in Na S04.10H20?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

                    Percent by mass of water is 56%

Explanation:

                    First of all calculate the mass of hydrated compound as,

Mass of Sodium = Na × 2 = 22.99 × 1 = 45.98 g

Mass of Sulfur = S × 1 = 32.06 × 1 = 32.06 g

Mass of Oxygen = O × 14 = 16 × 14 = 224 g

Mass of Hydrogen = H × 20 = 1.01 × 20 = 20.2 g

Mass of Na₂S0₄.10H₂O = 322.24 g

Secondly, calculate mass of water present in hydrated compound. For this one should look for the coefficient present before H₂O in molecular formula of hydrated compound. In this case the coefficient is 10, so the mass of water is...

Mass of water = 10 × 18.02

Mass of water = 180.2 g

Now, we will apply following formula to find percent of water in hydrated compound,

           %H₂O  =  Mass of H₂O / Mass of Hydrated Compound × 100

Putting values,

                                      %H₂O  = 180.2 g / 322.24 g × 100

                                           %H₂O =  55.92 % ≈ 56%

What happen when a piece of silver metal is added to the copper sulphate solution​
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:When silver Ag metal is added to copper sulphate CuSO4 solution, no reaction takes place as silver is less reactive than that of copper and cannot displace copper from its solution. Hence, when a piece of silver metal is added to copper sulphate solution there will be no reaction.

1. Why is carbon dioxide a gas at low temperatures at mars
wlad13 [49]

1. carbon dioxide is a gas at low temperatures at mars because in the oxidizing environment organic compounds are oxidized to form carbon dioxide.

2. The 1 electron in outermost shell of Na is shared with 7 electrons of outermost shell of chlorine giving neutral charge on compound.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal.

4. When metal and non metal exchange electrons to form a neutral or no charge compound it is said to have form ionic bonds.

Explanation:

1. Temperature at Mars is very low -80 Fahrenheit  (-60 degrees) because water is not present in the planet. Carbon dioxide is abundant in Mars. The atmosphere is oxidizing at Mars which oxidizes the organic compounds and forms carbon dioxide.

2. NaCl combines by sharing of electrons forming ionic bonding. Different atoms of the different element share electrons to form ionic bonds. Such bond is formed when electrons is transferred between the atoms. In the NaCl, Na has 1 electron (electropositive) in its outer shell and chlorine has 7 electrons (electronegative). Both share the electrons getting their octet complete and a neutral charge on the compound formed.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal when bond is formed. The ionic bonds is formed between metal and non metals when electron exchange takes place. The electrostatic force is the attraction between two opposite charges on the ion.

4. When a metal and non metal exchange electrons in which metal is electropositive and non metal is electronegative the bonds form is called ionic bond. The electron is transferred from metal to non metal and thus giving neutral charge on the compound i.e. the outer shell has its octet complete.

4. The volume of a sample of a gas at STP is 200.0 ml. If the pressure is increased to 4.00 atmospheres (temperature constant),
Elina [12.6K]

Answer : The value of new volume is, 50.0 mL

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1 = initial pressure at STP = 1 atm

P_2 = final pressure =  4.00  atm

V_1 = initial volume at STP = 200.0 mL

V_2 = final volume = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

1atm\times 200.0mL=4.00atm\times V_2

V_2=50.0mL

Therefore, the value of new volume is, 50.0 mL
