Van der Waals forces can hold inert gas atoms together to form solids at low temperature, but they cannot hold such atoms together to form molecules in the gaseous state. Why not?
What is the mean free path of molecules in an ideal gas in which the mean
collision time is 3.00 x 1010 s, the temperature is 308K, and the mass of the
molecules is 6.00 × 10-25 kg? Assume that the molecules are moving at their root-
mean-square speeds. The Boltzmann constant is 1.38 x 10-23 J/K. Glve your
answer in Angstroms ( 1 Angstrom = 10-10 m)
To what temperature must a gas sample initially at 27°C be raised in order for the average energy of it's molecule to triple?

The plan involved placing pontoons within the ship using a surface-controlled submarine-type vessel. The pontoons would contain cathodes and would be filled with hydrogen gas formed by the electrolysis of water. It has been estimated that it would require about 7 * 108 mol of H2 to provide the buoyancy to lift the ship (J. Chem. Educ., 1973, Vol. 50, 61).

- The Dieterici equation of state is similar to the van der Waals equation in that they both employ gas-specific constants a and b to attempt to account for the interaction between molecules and the nonzero volume of the individual molecules of gas. However, the Dieterici equation of state has a significantly different functional form: P(V – b) = RTe-a/(rVT) Note that a and b are constants (n is implicitly constant as volume is expressed as molar volume).

He asks, "Why would atoms bond into solids rather than just floating freely with respect to each other?" To help him understand at least one type of bonding in solids, you decide to embark on an energy explanation. You show him a drawing of a primitive cell of a sodium chloride crystal, NaCl, or simple table salt. The drawing is shown in the figure below, where the orange spheres are Na+ ions and the blue spheres are Cl− ions. Each ion has a charge of magnitude equal to the elementary charge e. The ions lie on the corners of a cube of side d. You explain to your roommate that the electrical potential energy is defined as zero when all eight charges are infinitely far apart from each other. Then you bring them together to form the crystal structure shown. a) Evaluate the electric potential energy of the crystal as shown.arrow_forwardWhat is the physical significance of the Biot number?
