The discrepancy between results given by the van der Waals equation and the ideal gas law will increase as:
1 answer:
This question is recalling the behavior of real gases in contrast to ideal gases, defined by the van der Waals equation and the ideal gas law respectively, and a reason behind the increasing discrepancy is required.
In such a way, we can start by considering the attached picture in which the choices are shown and clearly, the answer is "<u>as the polarity of the molecules increase</u>".
The aforementioned can be explained with the concept of intermolecular forces, because ideal gas theory states that ideal gas molecules do not interact one to another, and, as the polarity of the molecules increase, these intermolecular forces increase their frequency and strength, and will lead to the formation of associations, which fail to be numerically modelled by simple equations of state such as van der Waals, Redlich-Kwong, Peng-Robinson, etc,.
These associations are, of course, thoroughly neglected by the ideal gas law whereas the ones included in the van der Waals equation, which are not the most reliable, merely attempt to approach this phenomenon, which cause the mentioned discrepancy. As an additional data, robust equations of state, such as CPA (cubic plus association) are able to provide reliable results when working with highly polar gases but turn out really tough to work with due to its mathematical complexity.

Answer:
30, 50
Explanation:
Hello,
In this since an element's atomic number is equal to the number of protons in its atom, we can infer that selenium's atomic number is 30. Moreover, due to the fact the the neutrons are equal to the atomic mass minus the atomic number or the number of protons, by knowing the number of neutrons we compute the atomic as follows:
Thus, answer is 30, 50.
Best regards.
Answer:
- Question 19: the three are molecular compounds.
- Question 20: CuSO₄.5H₂O
Explanation:
<em>Question 19.</em>
- C₂H₄
- HF
- H₂O₂
All of them are the combination of two kinds of different atoms in fixed proportions.
- C₂H₄: two carbon atoms per four hydrogen atoms
- HF: one hydrogen atom per one fluorine atom
- H₂O₂: two hydrogen atoms per two oxygent atoms
Thus, they all meet the definition of compund: a pure substance formed by two or more different elements with a definite composition.
Molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds and ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds.
Two non-metal elements, like H-F, C - C, C - H, H-O, H - H, and O - O will share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their valence shell. Thus, the three compounds are molecular and not ionic.
<em>Question 20. </em>Formula of copper(II) sulfate hydrate with 36.0% water.
Copper(II) sulfate is CuSO₄. Its molar mass is 159.609g/mol
Water is H₂O. Its molar mass is 18.015g/mol
Calling x the number of water molecules in the hydrate, the percentage of water is:
From which we can solve for x:
Thus, there are 5 molecules of water per each unit of CuSO₄, and the formula is:
- CuSO₄.5H₂O
