A gas has a pressure of 0.470 atm at 60.0 C. What is the pressure at standard temperature?

P2=0.385atm

Explanation:

step one:

Given that the temperature T1=  60 Celcius

we can convert this to kelvin by adding 273k to 60 Celcius

we have T1= 333k

pressure P1= 0.470 atm

step two:

we know that the standard temperature is T2= 273K

Applying the temperature and pressure relationship we have

P1/T1=P2/T2

substituting our given data we have

0.47/333=P2/273

cross multiply we have

P2= (0.47*273)/333

P2= 128.31/333

P2=0.385 atm

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
