Answer:

Carbon dioxide is held together by weak intermolecular forces (only London dispersion <em>LD</em>) and is a non-polar molecule. Because of this weak attraction, it exists as a gas. Water on the other hand is polar (dipole forces <em>DP</em>), and has a stronger hydrogen bond existing within it (in addition to <em>LD</em>). This makes it attract itself more than say carbon dioxide molecules, so it commonly exists as a liquid. Finally, salt like water is polar, and has ionic bonds that are even stronger than a hydrogen bond. This makes salt have a great attraction to itself, sticking together as a solid because its molecules cant easily be broken up.

Explanation:

These are the strongest intermolecular forces ranked from strongest to weakest.

1. Network Covalent

2. Ionic

3. Hydrogen Bonding

4. Dipole Dipole

5. London Dispersion

Analyze the following reaction and the given scenarios to discuss the relationship between volume and reaction rate. Determine w
vredina [299]

The second reaction with the volume of 5L will occur faster as compared to the first reaction of volume 10L.

Volume is inversely proportional to the rate of reaction.

As volume increases rate of reaction decreases and as volume decreases rate of reaction increases.

Let's consider a reaction A   →  B.

r is rate of reaction and K is rate constant, A is the concentration of reaction.

r = k(A)

r is directly proportional to the A.

But the concentration of A is in Moles/liters (i.e. moles per unit volume)

r is inversely proportional to the volume of vessel or chamber.

 Hence as volume increases rate of reaction decreases.
