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>.
Answer:
a) Schmidt number
Explanation:
Prandtl number in heat transfer is analogues to Schmidt number in mass transfer.
Prandtl number in heat transfer is the ration of momentum diffusivity to the heat diffusivity.
Whereas, Schmidt number in mass transfer is the ratio of momentum diffusivity to the mass diffusivity.
