Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gas that smells like rotten eggs. It can be produced by bacteria in your mouth and contributes to bad breath. It also causes silver to tarnish so you can actually blacken silver with your breath! Let's use H2S to explore the difference in pressure exerted by an ideal versus a van der Waals gas. Calculate the pressure exerted by 1.00 mol of H2S behaving as

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, we consider the questions:

a. Ideal gas at:

 i. 273.15 K and 22.414 L.

 ii. 500 K and 100 cm³.

b. Van der Waals gas at:

 i. 273.15 K and 22.414 L.

 ii. 500 K and 100 cm³.

Thus, we define the ideal gas equation and the van der Waals one as shown below:

Whereas b and a for hydrogen sulfide are 0.0434 L/mol and 4.484 L²*atm / mol² respectively, therefore, we proceed as follows:

a.

 i. 273.15 K and 22.414 L.

 ii. 500 K and 100 cm³ (0.1 L).

b.

 i. 273.15 K and 22.414 L: in this case, v = 22.414 L / 1.00 mol = 22.414 L/mol

 ii. 500 K and 100 cm³: in this case, v = 0.1 L / 1.00 mol = 0.100 L/mol

Whereas we can see a significant difference when the gas is at 500 K and occupy a volume of 0.100 L.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

the answer would be a
