An astronomy research team has been studying the atmosphere of a moon orbiting a newly discovered exoplanet. The team has determined that the moon has an average temperature of 95K on the surface, with an average pressure of 1.6atm. Remote analysis of this moon's atmosphere has revealed it has a molar mass of 28.6 g/mol. Calculate the density (g/L) of 1 mole of the moon's atmosphere under the given conditions.

5.81 g/L

Explanation:

Let's apply the Ideal Gases Law to determine this:

P . V = n . R . T

Pressure = 1.6 atm

Volume = ?

Mol = 1 mol

Temperature = 96 K

In order to find the density, we should know the volume of the atmosphere which is a mixture of gases so, we consider all the atmosphere as a unique ideal gas.

1. 6 atm . V = 1 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 96K

V = (1 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 96K) / 1.6 atm

V = 4.92 L → As this is the volume for the whole atmosphere and the mass of 1 mol is 28.6 g, density should be:

28.6 g / 4.92L = 5.81 g/L

Density → mass / volume

c (diamond),

sio2 (quartz)

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.
