- Why do the boiling points of the noble gases increase in the order HeNeArKrXe?arrow_forwardThe normal boiling point of SO2 is 263.1 K and that of NH3 is 239.7 K. At −40 °C, would you predict that ammonia has a vapor pressure greater than, less than, or equal to that of sulfur dioxide? Explain.arrow_forwardArrange the following substances in order of increasing strength of crystal forces: CO2, KCl, H2O, N2, CaO.arrow_forward
- Explain why liquids assume the shape of any container into which they are poured, whereas solids are rigid and retain their shape.arrow_forwardSilicon carbide, SiC, is a very hard, high-melting solid. What kind of crystal forces account for these properties?arrow_forwardFor the carbon and nitrogen family hydrides, we have the following boiling points: Carbon Family,C Nitrogen Family,C CH4, 164 NH3, 33 SiH4, 112 PH3, 88 GeH4, 88 AsH3, 55 SnH4, 52 SbH3, 17 Account for the following: a The general trend in the boiling points of the binary hydrides. b The unusual boiling point of ammonia. c The observation that the nitrogen family hydrides have boiling points that are notably higher than those of the carbon family.arrow_forward
- On the basis of the description given, classify each of the following solids as molecular, metallic, ionic, or covalent network. Explain your answers. a a lustrous, yellow solid that conducts electricity b a hard, black solid melting at 2350C to give a nonconducting liquid c a nonconducting, pink solid melting at 650C to give an electrically conducting liquid d red crystals having a characteristic odor and melting at 171Carrow_forwardConsider two different organic compounds, each with the formula C2H6O. One of these compounds is a liquid at room conditions and the other is a gas. Write Lewis structures consistent with this observation, and explain your answer. (Hint: The oxygen atom in both structures satisfies the octet rule with two bonds and two lone pairs.)arrow_forward8.48 Why must the vapor pressure of a substance be measured only after dynamic equilibrium is established?arrow_forward
- What feature characterizes the dynamic equilibrium between a liquid and its vapor in a closed container?arrow_forwarda) Arrange the following according to increasing melting point. Explain. MgO CO; O2 H;O b) Explain why any substance's heat of fusion is generally lower than its heat of vaporization.arrow_forwardA 22.5-g sample of ice at 0.0 oC is added to 100.0 g of warm water at 35.0 oC, and the final temperature of the mixture is 14.0 oC. (a)How much heat(in Joules)is lost by the warm water? (b) How much heat (in Joules) is absorbed by the melted ice when its temperature increases from 0.0 oC to 14.0 oC? (c) How much heat is absorbed by ice during melting at 0.0 oC? (d) What is the enthalpy of fusion of ice in kJ/mol? (Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/(g.oC)arrow_forward
