Given three acids, HCl, HBr, and HI, HCl exhibits the strongest dipole-dipole force of attraction because Cl is the most electronegative atom among the three given halogens. In turn, it also exhibits the strongest london dispersion force among the three compounds. True or False
Use vapor pressure. A student leaving campus for spring break wants to make sure the air in his dorm room has a high water vapor pressure so that his plants are comfortable. The dorm room measures 3.01 m x 4.12 m x 3.48 m and the student places a pan containing 0.566L of water in the room. Assume that the room is airtight, that there is no water vapor in the air when he closes the door, and that the temperature remains a constant 21 °C.The vapor pressure of water at 21 °C is 18.7 mm Hg. (a) Calculate the pressure that the water vapor would exert if all of the liquid water evaporated. mm Hg (b) Will all of the water in the pan evaporate? Check&Submit Answer Show Approach
Each Phase of matter can be described according to the relative amount of attractive intermolecular forces (IF) holding the molecules together compared to the kinetic energy (KE) of those molecules. Drag each of the following phases of matter to the proper description of its intermolecular forces and kinetic energy of molecules. N Mi 2 1. # Wa # (2 There are negligible attractive forces with a high degree of kinetic energy. Attractive forces are present. However, kinetic energy is slightly greater than those attractive forces. Attractive forces among particles are much greater than the kinetic energy of the particles. ******** SOLID LIQUID GAS
