Which of the following substances would you predict to have the highest DHvap? Group of answer choices CH3CH2CH2CH3 CH3CH2OH HF

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a) $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3$

Explanation:

In this question we have the following answer choices:

a) $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3$

b) $CH_3CH_2OH$

c) $HF$

d) $CH_3Cl$

e) $HOCH_2CH_2OH$

We have to remember the relationship between intermolecular forces and vapor pressure. If we have stronger intermolecular forces we will have less vapor pressure because the molecules have more interactions between them, so, the molecules will prefer to stay in a liquid state rather than a gaseous state. Now, we have to check each molecule:

a) $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3$ (Van der waals interactions)

b) $CH_3CH_2OH$ (Hydrogen bonding)

c) $HF$ (Hydrogen bonding)

d) $CH_3Cl$ (Dipole-dipole interaction)

e) $HOCH_2CH_2OH$ (Hydrogen bonding)

For molecules b, c and e we have hydrogen bond to a heteroatom (O, N, S, or P). In this case oxygen, therefore we will have hydrogen bonding interactions (a very strong interaction). So, we can discard these ones.

In molecule e, we have "Cl" bond to a "C" therefore we will have the presence of a dipole (due to the electronegativity difference). If we have a dipole, we will have a dipole-dipole interaction (a strong interaction, less than hydrogen bonding but still is a strong interaction).

In molecule a, we have only Van der Waals interactions because in this molecule we have only carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded by single bonds. So, we will have a non-polar molecule. These interactions are the weakest interactions of all the molecules given. So, if we have weaker interactions the molecules can be converted to a gas state more easily and we have more vapor pressure.

How much pressure would 0.8 moles of a gas at 370K exert if it occupied 17.3L of space

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

1.40 atm is the pressure for the gas

Explanation:

An easy problem to solve with the Ideal Gases Law:

P . V = n . R .T

T° = 370K

V = 17.3L

n = 0.8 mol

Let's replace data → P . 17.3L = 0.8mol . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 370K

P = (0.8mol . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 370K) / 17.3L = 1.40 atm

Why do we have to balance chemical equations

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Chemical equations are balanced to comply with the law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be either created or destroyed.

A skeleton chemical equation shows the reactants and products of a chemical reaction without taking into account the real proportion in which the reactants combine and the products are obtained.

An example of a skeleton reaction is the combustion of methane:

CH₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Such as that equation is shown, there are four atoms of hydrogen in the reactants but only 2 atoms of hydrogen in the products. Also, there are 2 atoms of oxygen in the reactants but three atoms of oxygen in the products. This seems to show that some atoms of hydrogen have been destroyed and some atoms of oxygen have been created. This is impossible as it is against the law of conservation of matter.

Then, to show a real situation, the chemical equation of combustion must be balanced, adjusting the coefficients. This is the balanced chemical equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Now you see that the number of atoms of each matter is conserved: the number of carbon atoms in each side is 1, the number of atoms of hydrogen in each side is 4, and the number of atoms of oxygen in each side is 4. Thus, by balancing the chemical equation, the law of conservation of mass is not violated.
