Answer:

The particles in dry ice overcomes the force of attraction between them to change directly to gaseous state.

Explanation:

Matter exists in three states- solid, liquid and gas. When heated, solid changes to liquid and then gas. However, upon condensation, gas changes to liquid and then to solid. Some solids when heated change directly to vapour without an intermediate liquid state, such vapour will also condense to solid without going through the liquid state. Example includes: ammonium chloride, iodine crystals and sulphur. These solids undergo SUBLIMATION.

Dry ice which is also known as solid frozen carbon dioxide can undergo sublimation when subjected to -78°C. What actually happens to the particles ( molecules) of the frozen carbon dioxide is the existence of weak intermolecular forces between the molecules. Since the molecules are very weakly attracted to each other, frozen carbon dioxide molecules very readily go from the solid state to the gas state at low temperatures.

Sarin is a deadly nerve gas that was outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993. However, it has been used at various t

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The correct answer is - a. Fluorine is the leaving group in Sarin.

Explanation:

A leaving group is a group that leaves a complete negative charge in heterolytic cleavage when it separates out from the molecule. Sarine reacts with the active site of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase that is essential for nerve transmission.

In this given case, Sarin that is an acid fluoride and ester of methyl phosphonic acid, the fluorine atom is present is the one that leaves with a complete negative charge, therefore, fluorine is the leaving group in Sarin.

Thus, the first option is correct that Fluorine is the leaving group in Sarin.

State one advantage of building a space station in orbit instead of sending it all up in one piece.

Anit [1.1K]

Building a space station in orbit is a safety measure. If a rocket fails to bring up the entire space station in one piece it would be extremely expensive to build a new one. Bringing it up in multiple places ensures less money would be lost if the rocket fails.
