Intermolecular Forces The following picture represents atoms of hypothetical, nonmetallic, monatomic elements A, B, and C in a container at a temperature of 4 K (the piston maintains the pressure at 1 atm). None of these elements reacts with the others. a What is the state (solid, liquid, or gas) of each of the elements represented in the container? b Rank the elements in the container from greatest to least, in terms of intermolecular interactions. Explain your answer. c What type(s) of intermolecular attractions are present in each of these elements? d Explain which element has the greatest atomic mass. e One of the elements in the container has a normal boiling point of 2 K. Which element would that be (A, B, or C)? How do you know? f One of the elements has a melting point of 50 K. Which element would that be (A, B, or C)? Why? g The remaining element (the one you have yet to choose) has a normal boiling point of 25 K. Identify the element. Could this element have a freezing point of 7 K? Explain. h If you started heating the sample to 20 K, explain what you would observe with regard to the container and its contents during the heating. i Describe the container and its contents at 20 K. Describe (include a drawing) how the container and its contents look at 20 K. j Now you increase the temperature of the container to 30 K. Describe (include a drawing) how the container and its contents look at 30 K. Be sure to note any changes in going from 20 K to 30 K. k Finally, you heat the container to 60 K.

Consider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.

A 0.250-g chunk of sodium metal is cautiously dropped into a mixture of 50.0 g water and 50.0 g ice, both at 0C. The reaction is 2Na(s)+2H2O(l)2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)H=368kJ Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings, will the ice melt? Assuming the final mixture has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/gc, calculate the final temperature. The enthalpy of fusion for ice is 6.02 kJ/mol.
