Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand what gravity is. Gravity in its simplest form can be best visualized as a force of attraction, that pulls all objects that have a mass towards itself.

It is usually exerted by an object with a larger mass and felt by objects with smaller masses.

Putting this into context, the earth exerts a gravitational pull on all substances with masses, which are around it. This includes the oceans, birds, airplanes, clouds, and even gasses in the atmosphere. The atmospheric gasses may be light enough to float, but they can't go very far, since gravity is constantly tugging at them. This keeps the gasses that make up our atmosphere, within a reasonable radius, which is very close to the earth. In a nutshell, gravity prevents them from floating away into outer space.

In the context of small molecules with similar molar masses, arrange these intermolecular forces by strength (hydrogen bonding -
Katarina [22]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Arrangement of inter molecular forces from strongest to weakest.

  • Hydrogen bonding
  • Dipole-dipole interactions
  • London dispersion forces.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Intermolecular forces are defined as the attractive forces between two molecules due to some polar sides of molecules. They can be between nonpolar molecules.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole dipole interaction between the positive charge hydrogen ion and the slightly negative pole of a molecule. For example H---O bonding between water molecules.

Dipole dipole interactions are also attractive interactions between the slightly positive head of one molecule and the negative pole of other molecules.

But they are weaker than hydrogen bonding.

London dispersion forces are temporary interactions caused due to electronic dispersion in atoms of two molecules placed together. They are usually in nonpolar molecules like F2, I2. they are weakest interactions.

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦c. How many moles of helium will there be in the balloon at st
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

  • There will be 1.23 moles of helium in the balloon at STP

Explanation:

1) <u>Initial conditions of the helium gas</u>:

  • V = 20.0 liter
  • p = 1.50 atm
  • T = 25.0 °C = 25.0 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K

2) <u>Ideal gas equation</u>:

  • pV = n RT
  • p, V, and T are given above
  • R is the Universal constant = 0.0821 atm-liter / ( K - mol)
  • n is the unknown number of moles

3) <u>Solve for n</u>:

  • n = pV / (RT) =
  • n = 1.50 atm × 20.0 liter / (0.0821 atm-liter /k -mol ×298.15K)
  • n = 1.23 mol

4) <u>At STP:</u>

  • STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.
  • The amount (number of moles) of the gas will not change because the change of pressure and temperature, so the number of moles reamain the same: 1.23 mol.
