(a)
Interpretation:
The intermolecular force that must be overcome to convert from liquid oxygen to gas has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
London dispersion force also called an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles.
Dipole-dipole interaction results when two dipolar molecules interact with each other through space, there occurs a partially negative charge of one of the polar molecules is attracted to the partially positive charge of the second polar molecule.
Ion-dipole interaction results of an electrostatic interaction between a charged ion and a molecule that has a dipole.
A hydrogen bonding is partially an electrostatic attraction between

- Butane is a gas at room temperature; however, if you look closely at a butane lighter you see it contains liquid butane. Explain how it is possible to have liquid butane present.arrow_forwardWhich two statements about gas mixtures are true?(a) Gases always mix with other gases because the gas particlesare too far apart to feel significant intermolecularattractions or repulsions.(b) Just like water and oil don’t mix in the liquid phase, twogases can be immiscible and not mix in the gas phase.(c) If you cool a gaseous mixture, you will liquefy all thegases at the same temperature.(d) Gases mix in all proportions in part because the entropyof the system increases upon doing so.arrow_forwardA mole of air, (80.0% N2 and 20.0% O2, by volume) at 24.8oC is brought into contact with liquid water which has a vapor pressure of 3118 Pa at this temperature. (A) What is the volume of the dry air, if the pressure is 1 bar? (B) What is the final volume of the air saturated with water vapor, if the total pressure is kept as 1 bar? (C) What is the mole fraction of each gas in the moist air?arrow_forward
- The normal boiling point of a liquid is (a) the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals 1 atm. (b) the temperature at which the gas molecules have more kinetic energy than the molecules in the liquid. (c) the only temperature at which there can be equilibrium between liquid and gas. (d) the temperature at which the liquid will usually boil.arrow_forwardIntermolecular forces and physical properties Identify the substance with the specified property. (1) The greater polarizability: OCH;Cl2 OCHCI3 (2) The higher vapour pressure: OCH;OH OCH;CH2OH (3) The higher boiling point: Ocl, BrCl (4) The greater surface tension: OCH;CH3 OCH;OH (5) The less viscous motor oil at -10 °C: O5W30 used in winter driving O10W30 used in summer drivingarrow_forwardA greenhouse contains 256 m³ of air at a temperature of 26°C, and a humidifier in it vaporizes 4.20 L of water. (a) Whatis the pressure of water vapor in the greenhouse, assuming that none escapes and that the air was originally completely dry (dof H₂O =1.00 g/mL)? (b) What total volume of liquid water would have to be vaporized to saturate the air (i.e., achieve 100% rela-tive humidity)?arrow_forward

(b) Explain their differences in surface tension in terms of the size and shape of their molecules and their IMFs:arrow_forwardPredict whether the effects of molecular volume and of intermolecular attractions become more or less significant when the following changes are imposed: (a) A gas is expanded to a larger volume at constant temperature. Intermolecular attractions are significant, and molecular sizes are v significant. (b) More gas is introduced into a container of constant volume at constant temperature. Intermolecular attractions are significant, and molecular sizes are significant. more (c) The temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure. less Intermolecular attractions are significant, and molecular sizes are significant.arrow_forward
