Why is oxygen diflouride a gas at room temperature?

Chemistry

atroni [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Oxygen is a simple molecular structure, where individual oxygen atoms are bonded to each other by strong covalent bonds. Hence, a low amount of energy is required to overcome these weak forces and oxygen has a low boiling point. Therefore, at room temperature, oxygen is a gas. Oxygen difluoride is a colorless gas, condensable to a pale yellow liquid, with a slightly irritating odor. It is the most stable of the compounds of fluorine and oxygen, which include O,F,, O,F, and 0,F2 but nevertheless it is a strong oxidizing and fluorinating agent. Oxygen Difluoride is a colorless gas or a yellowish-brown liquid with a foul odor. Just to finally link Joseph's answer to the question, oxygen difluoride will thus change from liquid to solid state when chilled from -220°c to -230°c. The boiling point of oxygen is -182.96 degrees Celsius (under 1 standard atmosphere). This means at temperatures below that point, oxygen is a solid or a liquid, and at temperatures above that point, oxygen is a gas. So at -183 degrees Celsius, oxygen is a liquid.

The combustion of 3.795 mg of liquid B, which contains only C, H, and O, with excess oxygen gave 9.708 mg of CO2 and 3.969 mg of
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

9.708 mg of CO₂ will contain 12 x 9.708 / 44 = 2.64 g of C .

3.969 mg of H₂O will contain 2 x 3.969 / 18 = .441 g of H .

mg of O in given liquid B = 3.795 - ( 2.64 + .441 ) = .714 mg

ratio of mg of C , H , O in the compound = 2.64 : .441 : .714

ratio of no of atoms  of C , H , O in the compound

= 2.64 / 12 : .441 /1 : .714 / 16

= .22 : .44 : .0446

= .22 / .22 : .44 / .22 : .044 / .22

= 1 : 2 : .2

1 x 5 : 2 x 5 : .2 x 5

= 5 : 10 : 1

empirical formula of the compound = C₅H₁₀O

Volume of 89.8 mL at 1 .00 atm at 200⁰C

volume of gas at 1 atm and 0⁰C = 89.8 x 273 / 473 mL

= 51.83 mL

51.83 mL weighs .205 g

22400 mL will weigh .205 x 22400 / 51.83 g

= 88.6 g

So molecular weight = 88.6

Let molecular formula be (C₅H₁₀O)ₙ

molecular weight = n ( 5 x 12 + 10 + 16 )

= 86 n

86 n = 88.6

n = 1 approx

So molecular formula is same as empirical formula

C₅H₁₀O is molecular formula .

Which description best characterizes the motion of particles in a solid
bixtya [17]
<span>The movement of particles within a solid is extremely slow when compared to that of a gas. It is also significantly slower in movement than that of the movement found within the particles of liquid. The more movement present and the faster the movement of the particles the more space will be present between each particle. This causes the material to spread out as they become less densely packed within a solid material.</span>
