(a)
Interpretation:
The structures of the four given molecules must be drawn indicating whether those are polar or non polar.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structure is the representation of molecules showing the electron dots present in each atom.
A polar molecule has non zero bond moments whereas a non polar molecule has zero bond moments.
(b)
Interpretation:
Which two molecules are liquid and which two are gases as room temperature must be predicted along with proper explanation.
Concept Introduction:
For liquids intermolecular forces are stronger as compared to gases.
(c)
Interpretation:
The given compounds must be ranked from lowest to highest boiling point with proper justification.
Concept Introduction:
Molecules having stronger intermolecular forces show higher boiling points.

Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation
- A tank of gas at 21C has a pressure of 1.0 atm. Using the data in the table, answer the following questions. Explain your answers. a If the tank contains carbon tetrafluoride, CF4, is the liquid state also present? b If the tank contains butane, C4H20, is the liquid state also present?arrow_forwardWhich of the following do you expect to be molecular solids? a silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4 b lithium bromide, LiBr c sodium fluoride, NaF d bromine chloride, BrClarrow_forwardYou and a friend each synthesize a compound with the formula XeCI2F2. Your compound is a liquid and your friend's compound is a gas (at the same conditions of temperature and pressure). Explain how the two compounds with the same formulas can exist in different phases at the same conditions of pressure and temperature.arrow_forward
- In each of the following groups of substances, pick the one that has the given property. Justify your answer. a. highest boiling point: HBr, Kr, or Cl2 b. highest freezing point: H2O, NaCl, or HF c. lowest vapor pressure at 25C: Cl2, Br2, or I2 d. lowest freezing point: N2, CO, or CO2 e. lowest boiling point: CH4, CH3CH3, or CH3CH2CH3 f. highest boiling point: HF, HCl, or HBr g.arrow_forwardWhich would you expect to have the higher fusion enthalpy, N2 or I2? Explain your choice.arrow_forwardIn an experiment, 20.00 L of dry nitrogen gas, N2, at 20.0C and 750.0 mmHg is slowly bubbled into water in a flask to determine its vapor pressure (see the figure on next page). The liquid water is weighed before and after the experiment, from which the experimenter determines that it loses 353.6 mg in mass. Answer the following questions. a How many moles of nitrogen were bubbled into the water? b The liquid water diminished by how many moles? What happened to the liquid? c How many moles of gas exit the flask during the experiment? What is the partial pressure of nitrogen gas exiting? The total gas pressure is 750.0 mmHg. d From these data, calculate the vapor pressure of water at 20C. Does this agree with what you expect?arrow_forward
- 5-106 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_forwardFor liquid-state samples of the following diatomic molecules, indicate the type or types of intermolecular forces (dipoledipole interactions, hydrogen bonding, London forces) present. There may be more than one correct answer in a given situation. a. H2 b. HF c. CO d. F2arrow_forward
