Why do gases diffuse more quickly than liquids?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alborosie3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D)Gas particles move rapidly and have space between them.

Explanation:

Matter exists in three states namely: solids, liquids and gases. The particles contained in these three states are different from one another. In the gaseous state, the particles are FAR APART from one another i.e. space exists and they move at a very fast rate in contrast to the particles of a liquid, which have less space and move slower.

This rapid movement of gas particles within a less restricted space accounts for the reason why gaseous substances DIFFUSE more quickly than liquids.

Which of the following is not correctly paired with its dominant type of intermolecular forces? 1. SiH4, instantaneous dipoles 2
Luda [366]

Answer:

Option 4. There's no hydrogen bonding between HBr molecules at all.

Explanation:

<h3>SiH₄</h3>

SiH₄ molecules are tetrahedral and symmetric. Dipoles due to the polar Si-H bonds balance each other. SiH₄ molecules are nonpolar. Only instantaneous dipoles are possible between those molecules.

<h3>C₆H₆ Benzene</h3>

Similar to SiH₄, benzene is symmetric. Dipoles due to the weakly polar C-H bonds balance each other. Benzene molecules are nonpolar. Only instantaneous dipoles are possible between those molecules.

<h3>NH₃</h3>

There are two conditions for hydrogen bonding to take place:

  • H atoms are directly bonded to a highly electronegative element: Nitrogen, Oxygen, or Fluorine.
  • There is at least one lone pair of electrons nearby.

Consider the Lewis structure of NH₃. There are three H atoms in each NH₃ molecule. Each of the three H atoms is bonded directly to the N atom with a highly polar N-H bond.  Also, there is a lone pair of electrons on the N atom. Hydrogen bonding will take place between NH₃ molecules.

NH₃ is a relatively small molecule. As a result, hydrogen bonding will be the dominant type of intermolecular force between NH₃ molecules.

<h3>HBr</h3>

There are three lone pairs on the Br atom in each HBr molecule. However, no H atom is connected to any one of the three highly electronegative elements: N, O, or F. The Br atom isn't electronegative enough for the H atom to form hydrogen bonding. HBr molecules are polar. As a result, the dominant type of intermolecular forces between HBr molecules will be dipole-dipole interactions (A.k.a. permanent dipole.)

<h3>CaO</h3>

Calcium is a group 2 metal. Oxygen is one of the three most electronegative nonmetal. (Again, the most electronegative elements are: Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Fluorine.) As a main group metal, Ca atoms tend to lose electrons and form positive ions. Oxygen will gain those electrons to form a negative ion. As a result, CaO will be an ionic compound full of Ca²⁺ and O²⁻ ions. Forces between ions with opposite charges are called ionic bonds.

In what main way is separating the components of a mixture different from separating the components of a compound?
Zigmanuir [339]

Explanation:

Compounds are the species in which all the components react chemically to form a molecule which has a different property from the constituting elements.

On the other hand, mixture are the species in which the components do not react chemically and the original properties of the components are not lost.

<u>Thus, separation of the mixture into its components can be done by the physical means while separation of the compound into its components can be only possible by the chemical means.</u>

Complete the sentences to explain why the lattice energy of potassium bromide is more exothermic than the lattice energy of rubi
Natali5045456 [20]
The lattice energy is the amount of energy released when the ions that make up a crystal lattice are brought together. Now, this energy is dependent on the charge concentration of these ions. Both potassium and rubidium form ions with a +1 charge, while bromine and iodine form ions with -1 charge. However, because potassium and bromine are smaller than rubidium and iodine respectively, the charge is more concentrated. Therefore, more energy is released when potassium and bromine are brought together.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. If scientists discover a mummified Cro-Magnon specimen, they will first want to determ
ryzh [129]

Answer:

the specimen has 11460 years old

Explanation:

if the live sample has as initial amount of Yo C14, the dead sample will have 0.25Yo of C14.

the rate of decay of radiactive matter over time is

  • Y(t) = Yo * e (( - t * Ln2 ) / T)

∴ Y(t) = 0.25Yo;  T = 5730

⇒ 0.25Yo = Yo * e (( - t * Ln2 ) / 5730 )

⇒ 0.25 = e (( - t * Ln2 ) / 5730 )

⇒ Ln(0.25) = ( -  t * Ln2 ) / 5730

⇒ - 7943.466 = - t * Ln2

⇒ 7943.466 / Ln2 = t

⇒ t = 11460 year
