Chapter 11, Problem 13E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason for the nearly same molar volumes of ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}$ gas irrespective of their different molecular weights, dipole moments and molecular shapes.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If the molar volumes of ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}$ gas increases or decreases when the gases are cooled to $\text{160}\text{K}$ .

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The molar volume of ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}$ gas.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If the molar volume in the solid state is similar as they are in the gaseous state.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If the molar volume in the liquid state is closer to those in the solid or in the gaseous state.
