- 6-84 (Chemical Connections 6D) What is the chemical formula for the main component of limestone and marble?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_forward5-106 The normal boiling point of hexane, C6H14, is 69°C, and that of pentane, C5H12, is 36°C. Predict which of these compounds has a higher vapor pressure at 20°C.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_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_forwardDescribe the formation of hydrogen bonds in propanol, CH3CH2CH2OH. Represent possible hydrogen bonding structures in propanol by using structural formulas and the conventional notation for a hydrogen bond.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_forwardChloroform, CHCl3, has a normal boiling point of 61C. Its vapor pressure at 43C is 0.526 atm. What is the concentration (in g/L) of CHCl3 when it saturates the air at 27C?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_forward
- Which of the following compounds would be expected to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the liquid state? (a) H2Se (b) HCO2H (formic acid) (c) HI (d) acetone, (CH3)2COarrow_forward5-86 Using the phase diagram of water (Figure 5-20), describe the process by which you can sublime 1 g of ice at-10°C and at 1 atm pressure to water vapor at the same temperature.arrow_forward
