Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The molecular weight compound containing carbon and hydrogen only should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Molecular weight (or molecular mass) compound can be determined by ideal gas equation as follows-
The ideal gas behavior is given by the equation.
(b)
Interpretation:
A possible Lewis structure of the compound should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structure are diagrams which represents the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that might be present in the molecule.
(c)
Interpretation:
The various relative bond angles associated with each central atom of compound using VSEPR theory should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The bond angles depends on the type of hybridization of the particular atom in the structure.
(d)
Interpretation:
If the compound is polar or non-polar should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Polar and non-polar of the structure can be identified by seeing electronegativity of atoms in the molecules and symmetry of the structure.
(e)
Interpretation:
The type of intermolecular forces is present for this compound should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compound generally has Van Der Waals force an intermolecular force.

- 5-89 (Chemical Connections 5C) In a sphygmomanometer one listens to the first tapping sound as the constrictive pressure of the arm cuff is slowly released. What is the significance of this tapping sound?arrow_forward5-75 The heat of vaporization of liquid Freon-12, CCI2F2, is 4.71 kcal/mol. Calculate the energy required to vaporize 39.2 g of this compound. The molecular weight of Freon-12 is 120.9 amu.arrow_forward5-111 Diving, particularly SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving, subjects the body to increased pressure. Each 10. m (approximately 33 ft) of water exerts an additional pressure of 1 atm on the body. (a) What is the pressure on the body at a depth of 100. ft? (b) The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air at 1 atm is 593 mm Hg. Assuming a SCUBA diver breathes compressed air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen entering the lungs from a breathing tank at a depth of 100. ft? (c) The partial pressure of oxygen gas in the air at 2 atm is 158 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air in the lungs at a depth of 100. ft? (d) Why is it absolutely essential to exhale vigorously in a rapid ascent from a depth of 100. ft?arrow_forward
