It is spontaneous at 298 k.
Answer: Mothballs have weak intermolecular forces.
No all substances do not behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform
Explanation:
Sublimation is a process of converting a substance from solid state to gaseous state without the formation of liquid at constant temperature.
A substance which undergoes sublimation is called as sublimating substance.
As mothballs is made of napthalene which has weak inter molecular forces of attraction between its molecules, it directly sublimes into gaseous state without leaving any residue and is called as a sublimating substance.
Not all substances behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform
Explanation:
Note: Molar masses of elements can be found online or in the periodic table.
Moles of Magnesium
= 3.60g / (24.3g/mol) = 0.148mol.
Moles of Chlorine
= 10.65g / (35.45g/mol) = 0.300mol.
Mole ratio of Magnesium to Chlorine
= 0.148mol : 0.300mol = 1 : 2.
Hence we have the empirical formula MgCl2.
Moles of Lithium
= 9.1g / (6.94g/mol) = 1.311mol.
Moles of Oxygen
= 10.4g / (16g/mol) = 0.650mol.
Moles ratio of Lithium to Oxygen
= 1.311mol : 0.650mol = 2 : 1.
Hence we have the empirical formula Li2O.
Two hydrogen and two oxygen multiply for two
