The boiling point of oxygen is higher than nitrogen's boiling
The reason the boiling point of O2 is higher is not because of increased van der Waals interactions, but simple physics. The mass of a molecule of O2 is greater than that of a molecule of N2, so the molecule of O2 traveling at a speed sufficient to break out of the liquid phase has a greater kinetic energy than an analogous N2 molecule.
The net effect is that more energy must be distributed throughout a sample of O2 to achieve a given vapor pressure (in this case equal to atmospheric pressure) than for a sample of N2. More energy means greater temperature.
To relate the quantity of a substance to the amount of heat transferred and heat capacity, temperature, number of moles is given by
q=ncpΔT
where
n is number of moles
cp is molar heat capacity
ΔT=Tfinal−Tinitial is the temperature difference
Answer:
400 or 4x102 indicates only onesignificant figure. (To indicate that the trailing zeros are significant a decimal point must be added. 400. has threesignificant digits and is written as 4.00x102 in scientific notation.) Exact numbers have an infinite number of significant digits but they are generally not reported.
Answer:
Hello
Topsoil consists of most weathered mineral and organic material. Biological agents are also responsible for the breakdown of complex organic matter which releases simple nutrients. This process of mineralisation make soil fertile.
