Dispersion forces are weak attractions found between non-polar and polar molecules. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a non-polar molecule sometimes become polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant. If this happens, the molecule has a temporary dipole. This dipole can induce the neighbouring molecules to be distorted and form dipoles as well. The attractions between these dipoles constitute the Dispersion Forces.

Therefore; the greater the molar mass of a compound or molecule, the higher the Dispersion Force. This implies that the compound or molecule with the highest molar mass have the largest dispersion forces.

Now; for option (A)

CH3CH2SH

The molar mass is :

= (12 + (1 × 3 ) +12 + (1 ×2) + 32+1)

= (12 + 3+ 12 + 2 + 32 + 1)

= 62 g/mol

For option (B)

CH3NH2

The molar mass is:

= (12 + (1 × 3 ) +14 + (1 × 2)

= (12 + 3 + 14 + 2)

= 31 g/mol

For option (C)

CH4

The molar mass is :

= 12 + (1 × 4)

= 12 + 4

= 16 g/mol

For option (D)

CH3CH3

The molar mass is :

= 12 + ( 1 × 3 ) + 12 + ( 1 × 3)

= 12 + 3 + 12 + 3

= 30 g/mol

Thus ; option (A) has the highest molar mass, as such the largest dispersion force is A) CH3CH2SH

Which of the elements shown will not form ions, and why will they not do so?

No elements visible!

Ions form between metals and non-metals.

Hope this helps!

1. Ibuprofen (C13H18O2) is the active ingredient in many nonprescription pain relievers. Each tablet contains 200 mg of ibuprofe

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer :

The molar mass of ibuprofen is, 206.29 g/mole.

The number of moles of ibuprofen in a single tablet is, 0.000969 moles

The number of moles of ibuprofen in four doses is, 0.007752 moles

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mole

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mole

Molar mass of oxygen = 15.99 g/mole

1) Now we have to calculate the molar mass of ibuprofen.

Molar mass of ibuprofen, $C_{13}H_{18}O_2$ = $(13\times 12.01)+(18\times 1.01)+(2\times 15.99)=206.29g/mole$

The molar mass of ibuprofen = 206.29 g/mole

2) Now we have to calculate the moles of ibuprofen.

Formula used : $Moles=\frac{Mass}{\text{ Molar mass}}$

Given : Mass of ibuprofen = 200 mg = 0.2 g (1 mg = 1000 g)

$\text{ Moles of ibuprofen}=\frac{\text{ Mass of ibuprofen}}{\text{ Molar mass of ibuprofen}}=\frac{0.2g}{206.29g/mole}=0.000969moles$

The moles of ibuprofen = 0.000969 moles

3) Now we have to calculate the number of moles of ibuprofen for four doses.

Number of tablets in one dose = 2

Total number of tablets in 4 doses = 4 × 2 = 8

Number of moles of ibuprofen in 8 tablets =

$\text{ Number of moles of ibuprofen in 1 tablet}\times \text{ Total number of tablets}=0.000969\times 8=0.007752moles$

Nitrogen monoxide and hydrogen react to form nitrogen and water, like this: 2NO+2 H2(g)-N29)+2H2O(9) Write the pressure equilibr

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Partial pressure N₂ . (Partial pressure H₂O)² / (Partial pressure H₂)² . (Partial pressure NO)² = Kp

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2NO + 2H₂ → N₂ + 2H₂O

The expression for Kp (pressure equilibrium constant) would be:

Partial pressure N₂ . (Partial pressure H₂O)² / (Partial pressure H₂)² . (Partial pressure NO)²

There is another expression for Kp, where you work with Kc (equilibrium constant)

Kp = Kc (R.T)^Δn

where R is the Ideal Gases constant

T° is absolute temperature

Δn = moles of gases formed - moles of gases, I had initially
