Elemental phosphorus exists in a few different allotropes, two of which are listed below. White phosphorus: a molecular substance with the formula P4. Black phosphorus: an extended network of phosphorus atoms connected by covalent bonds. Which of these two allotropes would you expect to have the higher melting point and why? White phosphorus, because the strongest interaction broken while melting is LDFs, which require more energy to overcome. O White phosphorus, because the strongest interaction broken while melting is covalent bonds, which require more energy to overcome. Black phosphorus, because the strongest interaction broken while melting is LDFs, which require more energy to overcome. Black phosphorus, because the strongest interaction broken while melting is covalent bonds, which require more energy to overcome. O Not enough information is given in order to determine relative melting points.

1. Freon-12 (CCl2F2) is banned as a refrigerant because it is harmful to the ozone. a. Sketch the phase diagram of CCl2F2 using the physical constants below Normal boiling point = -29.8 °C Normal melting point = -158 °C Critical temperature = 112 °C Critical pressure = 40.8 atm Triple point (2.42 ×10-6 atm, -157 °C) b.

Choose the answer which presents the chemical formulas for two substances in order of decreasing melting point (highest melting point first) and gives a valid reason for this order. a) Al > H2O due stronger dispersion forces in Al than in H2O. b) Xe > Ar because of the greater atomic mass and stronger dispersion forces of Xe. c) LiF > MgF2 due to lower atomic mass of Li+ than Mg2+. d) PbCl4 > PbO2 due to lower charge on Cl - than O2-. e) XeF4 > CF4 due dipole-dipole forces in XeF4 not present in CF4.
Compare and contrast the phase diagrams of water and carbon dioxide. Why doesn't CO2 have a normal melting point and a normal boiling point, whereas water does? The slopes of the solid-liquid lines in the phase diagrams of H2O and CO2 are different. What do the slopes of the solid-liquid lines indicate in terms of the relative densities of the solid and liquid states for each substance? How do the melting points of H2O and CO2 depend on pressure? How do the boiling points of H2O and CO2 depend on pressure? Rationalize why the critical temperature for H2O is greater than that for CO2.
