.) Neon and HF have approximately the same molecular masses. a.)Explain why the boiling points of Neon and HF differ b.)Compare the change in the boiling points of Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe with the change of the boiling points of HF, HCl, HBr, and HI, and explain the difference between the changes with the increasing atomic or molecular mass.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of intermolecular forces in compounds affects the boiling points of the compound. Neon has London dispersion forces as the only intermolecular forces operating in the substance while HF has dipole dipole interaction and strong hydrogen bonds operating in the molecule hence HF exhibits a much higher boiling point than Ne though they have similar molecular masses.

b) The boiling points of the halogen halides are much higher than that of the noble gases because the halogen halides have much higher molecular masses and stronger intermolecular forces between molecules compared to the noble gases.

Also, the change in boiling point of the hydrogen halides is much more marked(decreases rapidly)  due to decrease in the magnitude of hydrogen bonding from HF to HI. The boiling point of the noble gases increases rapidly down the group as the molecular mass of the gases increases.

Answers

Answer:

A) Wood burning

system : Wood.

surroundings : atmosphere

Enthalpy : Exothermic

B) Water Freezing system

System : Refrigerator

surroundings :  water in the refrigerator

enthalpy change : Endothermic

C) Sweat evaporating

System :  Human being

surroundings : Air nearby

Enthalpy change : exothermic

D) Chemical Hand-warmer

system : Hand warmer pack

Surroundings : human palms

Enthalpy Change : Exothermic

Explanation:

A) Wood burning

system : Wood

surroundings : atmosphere

Enthalpy : Exothermic

This system give away energy to its surroundings hence its enthalpy change is exothermic

B) Water Freezing system

System : Refrigerator

surroundings :  water in the refrigerator

enthalpy change : Endothermic

The system absorbs heat from what is put inside(surroundings ) of it hence this is na endothermic system

C) Sweat evaporating

System :  Human being

surroundings : Air nearby

Enthalpy change : exothermic

This is an exothermic reaction ( enthalpy change ) because the system gives out heat to the surrounding

D) Chemical Hand-warmer

system : Hand warmer pack

Surroundings : human palms

Enthalpy Change : Exothermic

There is movement of heat from the system to the surrounding hence it is an exothermic reaction

If a compressed air cylinder for scuba diving contains 6.0 L of gas at 18°C and 200 atm pressure, what volume does the gas occupy at 1.0 atm and 25°C?​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]V_2=1228.9L[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, given the pressure, temperature and volume of the gas, we notice that we need the combined ideal gas as shown below:

[tex]\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2} =\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}[/tex]

Thus, solving for the final volume, V2,  we would obtain:

[tex]V_2=\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{T_1P_2}[/tex]

Now, we plug in the data and make sure the temperature must be in Kelvins to obtain:

[tex]V_2=\frac{200atm*6.0L*(25+273)K}{(18+273.15)K(1.0atm)}\\\\V_2=1228.9L[/tex]

#7 which of the following decreases the rate of solubility of solid molecules in a solution?

Answers

Answer:

7. Option D

Explanation:

Solubility increases with the increase in temperature of the solution. It is so because the increase in temperature leads to increase in kinetic energy which then breaks the solute particles held together by intermolecular attractions.

Hence, option D is correct

- Rachel performed an investigation to study the thermal conductivity of four different materials. She started with four identically shaped rods—each made of a different material. Then, she placed one end of each rod into a pot of boiling water, which was at 100°C.

Thermal Conductivity Investigation
Material Temperature of End of Rod After 5 Minutes
Material 1 41°C
Material 2 53°C
Material 3 98°C

Explanation

You have to prepare a pH 5.00 buffer, and you have the following 0.10 M solutions available: HCOOH (pka=3.74), HCOONa, CH3COOH (pka=4.74), CH3COONa, HCN (pka=9.31), and NaCN. Which solutions would you use?

Answers

Answer:

CH3COOH - CH3COONa since its pKa is closest to the required pH.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, in agreement with the theory of buffers as solutions able to withstand severe pH changes due to the addition of acidic or basic substances, it is possible to set up a generation equilibrium expression for the acids herein given:

[tex]Ka=\frac{[A^-][H_3O^+]}{[HA]}[/tex]

Which leads to the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

[tex]pH=pKa+log(\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]} )[/tex]

Thus, since all the buffers have [A-]=[HA]=0.10M, the log part becomes 0 and therefore the best buffer will have the closest pKa to the required pH, which is CH3COOH - CH3COONa since its pKa is 4.74.

Best regards!

[tex]CH_3COOH\; and\; CH_3COONa[/tex] can be used to prepare a pH buffer, if 0.10 M solution available of the solutions.

What is buffer?

Buffer is a solution, that resist change in pH, by adding or removing H+ ions to the solution.

Maintaining a constant pH is necessary to complete many reactions.

In blood, bicarbonates maintain the pH of the body.

[tex]CH_3COOH\; and\; CH_3COONa[/tex] have approx the nearest pH, so they can be used to make a buffer.

Thus, the correct options are [tex]CH_3COOH\; and\; CH_3COONa[/tex]

A student prepared a stock solution by dissolving 20.0 g of NaOH in enough water to make 150. mL of solution. She then took 15.0 mL of the stock solution and diluted it with enough water to make 65.0 mL of a final solution. What is the concentration of NaOH for the final solution

Answers

Answer:

[tex]0.769\ \text{M}[/tex]

Explanation:

Mass of stock solution = 20 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Volume of stock solution = 0.150 mL

[tex]M_2[/tex] = Concentration of NaOH for the final solution

[tex]V_1[/tex] = Amount of stock solution taken = 15 mL

[tex]V_2[/tex] = Total volume of solution = 65 mL

Molarity is given by

[tex]M_1=\dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}\times \text{Volume}}\\\Rightarrow M_1=\dfrac{20}{40\times 0.15}\\\Rightarrow M_1=\dfrac{10}{3}[/tex]

We have the relation

[tex]M_1V_1=M_2V_2\\\Rightarrow M_2=\dfrac{M_1V_1}{V_2}\\\Rightarrow M_2=\dfrac{\dfrac{10}{3}\times 15}{65}\\\Rightarrow M_2=0.769\ \text{M}[/tex]

The concentration of NaOH for the final solution is [tex]0.769\ \text{M}[/tex].

Explanation:

Answer:

Fires - These consume fuel and covert chemical energy stored in that fuel into thermal, light and sound energy

Decay - The breakdown of dead plants and animals produces thermal energy

Earth - Thermal energy comes from deep inside and is called geothermal energy

Explanation:

Fires, when you burn wood, you convert chemical energy from the wood into thermal (warmth from the fire), light (glow from the fire), sound (crackling sound of wood burning)

Decay - I can't explain that one to you but there are power plants that use decomposition to produce energy

Earth - Beneath the crust there is the mantle, which consists of molten rock which produces a lot of thermal energy. This can be seen in geysers, where the molten rock heats water and hot water can burst out of the surface. Applies to hot springs too

A gas goes from 1L at 273 K to 2 L when heated. What is the new temp?

Answers

Answer:

Given : Diatomic molecule at 273K

'q' absorbed = positive = +100Cal = 100 x 4.184J = 418.4J

'W' done by system = negative = -209J

By first law of thermodynamics;

ΔU = q + W = 418.4 + (-209) = 209.4J

We know for diatomic molecule Cv=25R and CvΔT=ΔU

CvΔT=209.4

 25RΔT=209.4

ΔT=5R209.4×2

And, Heat exchange=Cm×ΔT 

where; Cm is molar heat capacity

Cm=ΔTHeat Exchange

substituting values for Heat Exchange = 418.4 and ΔT=5R209.4×2

Cm=5R
