Answer:

SO2

Explanation:

Dipole-Dipole exist between parmanent dipoles in a molecule. THis means that molecule must have a parmanent dipole moment in it.

Example - HCl

Hydrogen bonding is an attraction between lone pair of an electronegative element and H atom of same or different molecule. H must be covalantly attached to either F, N or O.

Example - H2O

Among the molecules given in the list only SO2 and H2O exihibits parmanent moment. As BCl3 , CBr4 and H2 are symmetric compounds.

Since, SO2 cannot exihibit H- bonding only dipole-dipole forces as its strongest intermolecular force.

A typical refrigerator is kept at 4˚C, and a soda can has a pressure of

ss7ja [257]

Answer: The new pressure will be 1.42 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

$P_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

$P_1=1.18atm\\T_1=4^0C=(4+273)K=277K\\P_2=?\\T_2=60^0C=(60+273)K=333K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1.18}{277}=\frac{P_2}{333}\\\\P_2=1.42$

Hence, the new pressure will be 1.42 atm

How long does it take for only one eighth of a sample of radon-222 to remain

Alex17521 [72]

1/8=(1/2)^3 and the half life of radon is 3.8days

Half life is the time it takes for half of any amount of a radioactive substance to decay into something else.

Therefore for a sample of radon to decay to 1/8 of its original amount, it would take 3 x 3.8days=11.4 days
