(a)
Interpretation:
Physical state at room temperature for oxalic acid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Physical property of
(b)
Interpretation:
Physical state at room temperature for decanoic acid has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Physical property of carboxylic acid is decided by the carbon chain and the functional group. Carboxylic acids are highly polar, as the carboxyl group is more polar. Due to this polar nature, the melting and boiling point are very high. Monocarboxylic acids that are unsubstituted which contains up to nine carbon atoms are present in liquid state. They have very sharp odor. Monocarboxylic acids that have more than ten carbon atoms in an unbranched fashion are waxy solids. They do not have any odor because of low volatility. Similar to this, dicarboxylic acids and aromatic carboxylic acids do not have any odor and they are solids.
(c)
Interpretation:
Physical state at room temperature for hexanoic acid has to be given.

The wavelength of radiation absorbed by NO2 in this reaction is 197 nm.(a) Draw the Lewis structure of NO2 and sketch its π molecular orbitals.(b) When 1.56 mJ of energy is absorbed by 3.0 L of air at 20 °C and 0.91 atm, all the NO2 molecules in this sample dissociate by the reaction shown. Assume that each absorbed photon leads to the dissociation (into NO and O) of one NO2 molecule. What is the proportion, in parts per million, of NO2 molecules in this sample?

Using Maxwell’s velocity distribution, one can also calculate the mean velocity and the most probable velocity (mp) of a collection of molecules. The equations used for these two quantities are vmean=(8RT/πM)1/2 and vmp=(2RT/M)1/2 These values have a fixed relationship to each other.(a) Arrange these three quantities in order of increasing magnitude.(b) Show that the relative magnitudes are independent of the molar mass of the gas.(c) Use the smallest velocity as a reference for establishing the order of magnitude and determine the relationship between the larger and smaller values.arrow_forwardThe reaction of solid dimethylhydrazine, (CH3)2N2H2, and liquefied dinitrogen tetroxide, N2O4, has been investigated for use as rocket fuel. The reaction produces the gases carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H2O), which are ejected in the exhaust gases. In a controlled experiment, solid dimethylhydrazine was reacted with excess dinitrogen tetroxide, and the gases were collected in a closed balloon until a pressure of 2.50 atm and a temperature of 400.0 K were reached.(a) What are the partial pressures of CO2, N2, and H2O?(b) When the CO2 is removed by chemical reaction, what are the partial pressures of the remaining gases?arrow_forward
