Consider the reaction below.

In general, which attractions are stronger: intermolecular or intramolecular? Research and explain a quantitative comparison bet

murzikaleks [220]

Answer is: intramolecular attractions are stronger.

Intramolecular attractions are the forces between atoms in molecule.

There are several types of intramolecular forces: covalent bonds, ionic bonds.

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules. The stronger are intermolecular forces, the higher is boiling point of compound, because more energy is needed to break interaction between molecules.

There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.

Hydrogen bonds are approximately 5% of the bond strength of covalent C-C or C-H bonds.

Hydrogen bonds strength in water is approximately 20 kJ/mol, strenght of carbon-carbon bond is approximately 350 kJ/mol and strengh of carbon-hydrogen bond is approximately 340 kJ/mol.

20 kJ/350 kJ = 0.057 = 5.7 %.

At what temperature, would the volume of a gas

PtichkaEL [24]

Explanation:

P1V1 = nRT1

P2V2 = nRT2

Divide one by the other:

P1V1/P2V2 = nRT1/nRT2

From which:

P1V1/P2V2 = T1/T2

(Or P1V1 = P2V2 under isothermal conditions)

Inverting and isolating T2 (final temp)

(P2V2/P1V1)T1 = T2 (Temp in K).

Now P1/P2 = 1

V1/V2 = 1/2

T1 = 273 K, the initial temp.

Therefore, inserting these values into above:

2 x 273 K = T2 = 546 K, or 273 C.

Thus, increasing the temperature to 273 C from 0C doubles its volume, assuming ideal gas behaviour. This result could have been inferred from the fact that the the volume vs temperature line above the boiling temperature of the gas would theoretically have passed through the origin (0 K) which means that a doubling of temperature at any temperature above the bp of the gas, doubles the volume.

From the ideal gas equation:

V = nRT/P or at constant pressure:

V = kT where the constant k = nR/P. Therefore, theoretically, at 0 K the volume is zero. Of course, in practice that would not happen since a very small percentage of the volume would be taken up by the solidified gas.

CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g) A reaction mixture in a 5.23-L flask at a certain temperature initially contains 27.2 g CO and 2.36 g H2.

irga5000 [103]

Answer: 5.70M

Explanation:

Molar mass of CO = 28.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H2 = 2.02 g/mol

Molar mass of CH3OH = 32.05 g/mol.

To determine the amount of each compound in the reaction mixture we use the formula.

Amount in mol = reacting mass/molar mass.

Inputing the given values we have,

26.6 g CO x (1 mol / 28.01 g ) = 0.9496608354 mol of CO.

To calculate the concentration of CO we use C=n/v, where n=amount and v= volume of CO.

Inputing the values in the formula

[CO] = 0.9496608354 mol CO / 5.23 L = 0.18158 M CO

Repeating thesame procedure for H

Amount of H=2.36 g H2 x ( 1 mol / 2.02 g ) = 1.168316832 mol of H2

Concentration of H2 in the mixture

[H2] = 1.168316832 mol H2 / 5.23 L = 0.223388 M of H2

Amount of CH3OH is determine similarly using rmass/molar mass

8.66 CH3OH x (1 mol / 32.05 g ) = 0.2702028081 mol of CH3OH

Concentration of

[CH3OH] = 0.2702028081 mol CH3OH/ 5.23 L = 0.051664 M CH3OH

Now equilibrium constant is determined by

Kc = [CH3OH] / [CO] [H2]^2

=0.051664/0.18158×0.223388×0.223388.

An example of a potassium compound containing both ionic and covalent bonds is?

gayaneshka [121]

It's a trick question because all of them contain both iconic and covalent bonds.

Hope it helps!! :) have fun

Which statement gives an example of asexual reproduction (A.a new potato plant grows from a potato (B.two worms mate and produce

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Asexual reproduction involves the production of offspring without the need for a secondary partner to contribute genetic information.

Pollination and mating are two forms of sexual reproduction, so B, C, and D are incorrect. A, because the new potato grows directly from the old without the contribution of new genetic material, asexually reproduces.
