Concept introduction:
The melting point of a compound is the temperature at which solid converts into liquid form. Melting point depends upon the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules and is also directly proportional to the molar mass of the compound.

- Explain why liquids assume the shape of any container into which they are poured, whereas solids are rigid and retain their shape.arrow_forwardFor each of the following pairs, choose the member with the lower boiling point. Explain your reason in each case. (a) NaCl or PCl3 (b) NH3 or AsH3 (c) C3H7OH or C2H5OCH3 (d) HI(g) or HCl(g)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_forward
- Silane SiH4, phosphine (PH3), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) melt at 185 C, 133 C, and 85 C, respectively. What does this suggest about the polar character and intermolecular attractions of the three compounds?arrow_forwardIn which of the following processes is it necessary to break covalent bonds as opposed to simply overcoming intermolecular forces? (a) Decomposing HCI to H2 and Cl2 (b) Dissolving NaCl in water (c) Freezing ethyl alcohol (d) Subliming iodinearrow_forwardDescribe the changes (if any) in potential energy and in kinetic energy among the molecules when gaseous PCl3 condenses to a liquid at a fixed temperature.arrow_forward
- 2b) explain the effect of pressure in terms of energy, direction of flow of heat and intermolecular forces as a substance changes from A to B.arrow_forwardWhich of the following substances would you expect to have the higher vapor pressure: CH3OH or CH3Cl? Explain.arrow_forwardWhat type of intermolecular forces exist between NH3 and H2?arrow_forward
