Question

A. Among nonpolar liquids, those with higher molar masses tend to have normal boiling points that are (higher, lower, or about the same).
b. Among compounds of approximately the same molar mass, those with greater polarities tend to have enthalpies of vaporization that are (higher, lower, or about the same).
c. Which is the only noble gas listed that is stable as a liquid at 0°C? Explain your answer using the concept of critical temperature.

Answer 1

Answers are below...and I have answered this question on the basis of above table.

Explanation :-

(a.) Among nonpolar liquids, those with higher molar masses tend to have normal boiling points that are (lower).

(b.) Among compounds of approximately the same molar mass, those with greater polarities tend to have enthalpies of vaporization that are (higher).

(c.) Xe (Xenon), a substance can exist only as a gas at temperatures above its critical temperature. Of the noble gases listed, only Xe has a critical temperature above O°c.

Answer 2

Answer: higher b. Among compounds of approximately the same molar mass, those with greater polarities tend to have Wiesenthal of vaporization that are (higher, lower.

Explanation: Molecules in a gas are far apart. They are mulct"\ closer together in a liquid. Molecules in a gas are easily squeezed closer together as the gas is compressed and walls more frequently than before and with a greater force per impact.
