Answer:

Therefore, the boiling points of the alkanes increase with molecular size. For isomers, the more branched the chain, the lower the boiling point tends to be. Van der Waals dispersion forces are smaller for shorter molecules and only operate over very short distances between one molecule and its neighbors.

The boiling points of the normal alkanes increase with increasing molecular weight (Table 3.3). As the molecular weight increases, London forces increase because more atoms are present to increase the surface area or the molecules.

What is the amount, in moles, of each elemental sample? a. 11.8 g Ar b. 3.55 g Zn c. 26.1 g Ta d. 0.211 g Li

spayn [35]

Answer:

A. 0.295 mole

B. 0.055 mole

C.0.144 mole

D. 0.03 mole

Explanation:

To find the amount in moles, we simply use a mathematical relation that connects mass, atomic mass and number of moles.

Number of moles = mass/atomic mass

A. Atomic mass of Argon is 40

n = 11.8/40 = 0.295 mole

B. Atomic mass of zinc is 65

n = 3.55/65 = 0.055 mole

C. Atomic mass of Tantalum is 181

n = 26.1/181 = 0.144 mole

D. Atomic mass of lithium is 7

n = 0.211/7 = 0.03 mole

The activation energy for the reaction NO2 (g )+ CO (g) ⟶ NO (g) + CO2 (g) is Ea = 218 kJ/mol and the change in enthalpy for the

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$470\frac{KJ}{mol}$

Explanation:

The activation energy represents the energy barrier that reagents must pass to transform into products (or products to transform into reagents in a reverse reaction)

For any reaction, the change in enthalpy is related to the activation energy by the equation

$\Delta H =E_{a\ direct}-E_{a\ reverse}$

So, the activation energy for the reverse reaction is

$E_{a\ reverse}=E_{a\ direct}-\Delta H =218 \frac{KJ}{mol} - (-252)\frac{KJ}{mol}=470\frac{KJ}{mol}$
