| Problem 1 |
Explain the significance to the development of the kinetic molecular model of the observation that the ideal gas law works well only at low pressure. |
| Problem 2 |
Explain the significance to the development of the kinetic molecular model of the observation that the pressure predicted by the ideal gas law is independent of the type of gas.
|
| Problem 3 |
Sketch the value of PV/nRT as a function of density for two gases, one with strong intermolecular attractions and one with weak intermolecular attractions but strong repulsions.
|
| Problem 4 |
Give a brief molecular explanation for the observation that the pressure of a gas at fixed temperature increases proportionally with the density of the gas.
|
| Problem 5 |
Give a brief molecular explanation for the observation that the pressure of a gas confined to a fixed volume increases proportionally with the temperature of the gas.
|
| Problem 6 |
Give a brief molecular explanation for the observation that the volume of a balloon increases roughly proportionally with the temperature of the gas inside the balloon.
|
| Problem 7 |
Explain why there is a correlation between high boiling point and strong deviation from the Ideal Gas Law.
|
| Problem 8 |
Referring to figure 4, explain why the hydride of the Group IV element always has the lowest boiling point in each period.
|
| Problem 9 |
Explain why the Period 2 hydrides except CH4 all have high boiling points, and explain why CH4 is an exception.
