How do intermolecular forces of methane and water explain the different boiling points of the two substances?

Chemistry

elena55 [62]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

In methane the intermolecular forces are the weak London dispersion forces. Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonding.

  • London dispersion forces are weak forces of attraction between molecules. It is a predominant in compounds that have very weak polarity.
  • Hydrogen bonding is the electrostatic attraction between the hydrogen of one molecule and the electronegative atom(O or N or F) of a neighboring molecule.

Hydrogen bonds holds water molecules together. Since it is a stronger bond, it confers a higher boiling point

If a small amount of the unknown solute fails to dissolve in the lauric acid, will the molar mass that you calculate for unknown
dimaraw [331]
If the solute fails to dissolve in the lauric acid, the molar mass that can be calculated based on the concentration of the solute dissolved in the lauric acid would be too low. This is because there are unaccounted masses that cannot be included in the calculation. This is a case of underestimation of the molar mass.

To avoid that this happens, ensure that all of the solute dissolves well in solvent by mechanical means (stirring, shaking, etc) or introducing heat.

What is a mole and its properties​
klio [65]

One mole of a substance is equal to 6.022 × 10²³ units of that substance (such as atoms, molecules, or ions). The number 6.022 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant. The concept of the mole can be used to convert between mass and number of particles.

The gas in an engine cylinder is compressed until it has a volume of 0.045 liter and an absolute pressure of 28 atmospheres. If
Sonbull [250]

The  temperature  in K  is  767.4 K

<u><em>  calculation</em></u>

This is calculated using the ideal gas equation

that is PV =nRT

where;

P(pressure)= 28 atm

V(volume) = 0.045 L

n(number of moles)= 0.020 moles

R( gas  constant)  =0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T(temperature)= ? K\


make T the subject of   the formula  by diving  both side of equation by nR

T =PV/nR

T ={ (28 atm x 0.045 L) /( 0.020 mol x 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)}  =767.4 K

How many total ions are present in 347g of cacl2?
vladimir1956 [14]

In 1 mole of CaCl_{2}, there are 3 moles of ions, 1 mole of Ca^{2+} and 2 mole of Cl^{-1}.

CaCl_{2}\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2Cl^{-}

Molar mass of CaCl_{2} is 110.98 g/mol. Calculating number of moles from given mass as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{347 g}{110.98 g/mol}=3.12 mol

Thus, number of moles of ions will be 3\times 3.12 mol=9.38 mol.

Since, 1 mole of any substance has 6.023\times 10^{23} units of that substance where 6.023\times 10^{23}  is Avogadro's number.

Thus, 9.38 mol of ions will have 9.38\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=5.65\times 10^{24} number of ions.

Therefore, total number of ions in 347 g of CaCl_{2} is  5.65\times 10^{24}.
