Would you feel like a superhero if you could melt metal just by holding it? The element gallium is a solid at room temperature, but it will reach its melting point and melt if you hold it in your hand. If you pour the liquid gallium into a container at room temperature, it will become solid
again. How do the melting point and the freezing point of gallium compare to each other?
O A The freezing point of gallium is higher than its melting point
O
B. The freezing point of gallium is lower than its melting point.
O
C. The freezing point of gallium equals its melting point.
OD
Both the freezing point and the melting point of gallium vary.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
