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 molarity of a solution containing 0.34 moles of FeCl3 in the 0.45 liters of water
Minchanka [31]
Hello!

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of a substance that can be found in 1 liter of solution. That is expressed mathematically as M=mol/L

For the FeCl₃ solution:

M= \frac{mol FeCl_3}{L sol}= \frac{0,34 moles FeCl_3}{0,45 L}= 0,756 M

So, the concentration of this solution is 0,756 M

Have a nice day!

Give the correct balanced equation for the single replacement reaction of magnesium with aluminum oxide. A) Mg + AlO → MgO + Al
solniwko [45]
Answer is "C".

<em><u>Explanation
</u></em>

Single replacement reaction is a type of reaction which one reactant reacts with another and makes a product by replacing one element by another. 

Mg (Magnesium) reacts with Al₂O₃ (Aluminium oxide) and produces MgO (Magnesium oxide) and Al (Aluminium) as products. Here Al is replaced by Mg. Reaction is 
             Mg + Al₂O₃ → MgO + Al

To balance the reaction equation, both left and right hand sides should have same number of atoms in each element.
Here, 
 <em>Left Hand Side has </em>                                            <em>Right Hand Side has</em>
   Mg = 1 atom                                                         Mg = 1 atom
   Al = 2 atom                                                           Al = 1 atom
   O = 3 atom                                                           O = 1 atom

First step : balance the O atoms in both sides. To do that "3" should be added before MgO. 

Second step : After balancing O atoms, there will be 3 Mg atoms in right hand side. Hence to balance Mg atoms again "3" should be added before Mg in left hand side

Third step : as the final step balance the Al atoms by adding "2" before Al in the right hand side.

Then final balanced equation should be 
              3Mg + Al₂O₃ → 3MgO + 2Al

How many grams of fluorine must be reacted with excess lithium iodide to produce 10.0 grams of lithium fluoride?
rewona [7]
Answer:
             7.32 g of F₂

Solution:
              The equation is as follow,

                                   2 LiI  +  F₂    →    2 LiF  +  I₂

According to equation,

           51.88 g (2 mole) of LiF is produced from  =  37.99 g (1 mole) F₂
So,
                          10 g of LiF will be produced by  =  X g of F₂

Solving for X,
                      X  =  (10 g × 37.99 g) ÷ 51.88 g

                      X  =  7.32 g of F₂
