Determine the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.015 molecules of oxygen at STp?

5.58 X Litres is the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.015 molecules of oxygen at STP.

Explanation:

Data given:

molecules of oxygen = 0.015

number of moles of oxygen =?

temperature at STP = 273  K

Pressure at STP = 1 atm

volume = ?

R (gas constant) = 0.08201 L atm/mole K

to convert molecules to moles,

number of moles =

number of moles = 2.49 x

Applying the ideal gas law since the oxygen is at STP,

PV = nRT

rearranging the equation:

V =

putting the values in the rearranged equation:

V =

V = 5.58 X Litres.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
