Introduction to Chemistry
- A special vessel (see Fig. 10.45) contains ice and supercooled water (both at 10C) connected by vapor space. Describe what happens to the amounts of ice and water as time passes.arrow_forwardA common prank on college campuses is to switch the salt and sugar on dining hall tables. which is usually easy because the substances look so much alike. Yet, despite the similarity in their appearance, these two substances differ greatly in their properties because one is a molecular solid and the other is an ionic solid. How do the properties differ and why?arrow_forwardUsing the explanation of unbalanced forces as the source of surface tension, justify why it requires energy to increase the surface area of a liquid. Is there any circumstance in which energy is given off when increasing a liquids surface area?arrow_forward
- Explain why evaporation leads to cooling of the liquid.arrow_forwardCooking oil floats on top of water. From this observation, what conclusions can you draw regarding the polarity or hydrogen-bonding ability of molecules found in cooking oil?arrow_forwardSubstance A is composed of molecules that have stronger intermolecular forces than the molecules that compose substance B. Which substance has a lower boiling point? a. substance A b. substance B c. cannot be determined without more information.arrow_forward
- The phase diagram for elemental sulfur is shown in Figure 6.18. Figure 6.18 Phase diagram for elemental sulfur. a How many allotropes are shown? b What is the stable allotrope of sulfur under normal conditions of temperature and pressure? c Describe the changes to sulfur as its temperature is increased from 25C while at 1atm pressure.arrow_forwardConsider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.arrow_forward
