The empirical formula of metal iodide : CoI₃(Cobalt(III) Iodide)
<h3>Further explanation</h3>13.02 g sample of Cobalt , then mol Co(MW=58.933 g/mol) :
Mass of metal iodide formed : 97.12 g, so mass of Iodine :
Then mol iodine (MW=126.9045 g/mol) :
mol ratio of Cobalt and Iodine in the compound :
Answer:
A) increasing dispersion interactions
Explanation:
Polarizability allows gases containing atoms or nonpolar molecules (for example, to condense. In these gases, the most important kind of interaction produces <em>dispersion forces</em>, <em>attractive forces that arise as a result of temporary dipoles induced in atoms or molecules.</em>
<em>Dispersion forces</em>, which are also called <em>London forces</em>, usually <u>increase with molar mass because molecules with larger molar mass tend to have more electrons</u>, and <u>dispersion forces increase in strength with the number of electrons</u>. Furthermore, larger molar mass often means a bigger atom whose electron distribution is more easily disturbed because the outer electrons are less tightly held by the nuclei.
Because the noble gases are all nonpolar molecules, <u>the only attractive intermolecular forces present are the dispersion forces</u>.
