Least Ideal Gases: HCl
Which of the following is least likely to behave as an ideal gas?
ChatGPT
The behavior of an ideal gas is characterized by several assumptions, including that the gas particles have negligible volume, experience no intermolecular forces, and undergo elastic collisions. While no real gas perfectly follows these assumptions, some gases deviate more from ideal behavior than others. The degree of deviation depends on various factors such as temperature, pressure, and molecular properties.
Among the given options, the gas least likely to behave as an ideal gas would be:
Hydrogen chloride (HCl): HCl is a polar molecule with significant dipole-dipole interactions between its molecules. At low temperatures and high pressures, these intermolecular forces become more significant, causing HCl to deviate from ideal gas behavior.
Nitrogen (N2): Nitrogen is a diatomic molecule and does not have a permanent dipole moment. At moderate temperatures and pressures, nitrogen can approximate ideal gas behavior reasonably well.
Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide is a linear molecule with a permanent dipole moment. While CO2 can exhibit some deviations from ideal gas behavior, it generally behaves relatively close to an ideal gas, especially at moderate temperatures and pressures.
Ammonia (NH3): Ammonia is a polar molecule with a relatively high boiling point compared to other gases. At low temperatures and high pressures, ammonia exhibits deviations from ideal gas behavior due to intermolecular forces.
Based on these considerations, hydrogen chloride (HCl) is the least likely to behave as an ideal gas due to its significant dipole-dipole interactions and stronger deviation from ideal behavior.

Among the options provided, the gas least likely to behave as an ideal gas is xenon (Xe).
Methane (CH4): Methane is a relatively small molecule and its behavior closely approximates that of an ideal gas under normal conditions.
Oxygen (O2): Oxygen is a diatomic molecule and, although it deviates slightly from ideal gas behavior at high pressures, it generally behaves reasonably close to an ideal gas.
Helium (He): Helium is a monoatomic gas and one of the gases that most closely approximates ideal gas behavior. It has weak intermolecular forces and negligible molecular volume, which make it behave quite ideally.
Carbon monoxide (CO): Carbon monoxide is a diatomic molecule similar to oxygen, and its behavior is relatively close to that of an ideal gas under normal conditions.
Hydrogen (H2): Hydrogen is a diatomic molecule and behaves similarly to oxygen and carbon monoxide. It generally approximates ideal gas behavior, especially at moderate temperatures and pressures.
Xenon (Xe): Xenon is a larger and heavier noble gas compared to helium, and it deviates significantly from ideal gas behavior at normal conditions. Its larger molecular size and stronger intermolecular forces result in notable deviations from ideal gas behavior, especially at higher pressures and lower temperatures.
Therefore, xenon (Xe) is the gas least likely to behave as an ideal gas among the options provided.

To determine the concentration of the chlorate ion in the aqueous solution, we need to use the molar mass and stoichiometry of magnesium chlorate (Mg(ClO3)2).
The molar mass of Mg(ClO3)2 is calculated as follows:
Mg: 24.31 g/mol
ClO3: 3 × (16.00 g/mol + 1 × 35.45 g/mol) = 3 × (16.00 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol) = 3 × 51.45 g/mol = 154.35 g/mol
Mg(ClO3)2: 24.31 g/mol + 154.35 g/mol = 178.66 g/mol
Given that 5.0 grams of magnesium chlorate (Mg(ClO3)2) are dissolved in 500.0 mL of solution, we need to convert the mass of Mg(ClO3)2 to moles and then calculate the molarity (M) of chlorate ions (ClO3-) using the formula:
Molarity (M) = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters
First, let's convert the mass of Mg(ClO3)2 to moles:
moles of Mg(ClO3)2 = mass / molar mass = 5.0 g / 178.66 g/mol ≈ 0.028 moles
Next, we need to convert the volume of the solution to liters:
volume of solution = 500.0 mL = 500.0 mL / 1000 mL/L = 0.5 L
Now we can calculate the molarity of the chlorate ions:
Molarity of chlorate ions = moles of chlorate ions / volume of solution in liters
Molarity of chlorate ions = 0.028 moles / 0.5 L ≈ 0.056 M
Therefore, the concentration of the chlorate ion in the aqueous solution is approximately 0.056 M.
Among the given options, none of them match the calculated concentration exactly. However, the closest option is 0.052 M. |
