1.

Is the boiling process endo or exothermic? Why doesn't the temperature of a boiling liquid go higher than the boiling point temperature.

2.

What is the stronger intermolecular force, dipole-dipole or London forces? Why is there any difference?

Give an example of a compound that has only London forces.

 

3.

Arrange the the following gases in order of increasing intermolecular forces. Identify the type of forces in each and say whether the forces are relatively strong or weak.

HF, HBr, N2, He

4.

Nitrogen is used to fill a balloon at room temperature, 27 oC. The volume of the balloon is 3.0 L. The pressure inside and outside the balloon is 760 mm Hg. How many moles and grams of nitrogen are in the balloon?
The universal gas constant is 0.0821 liter atm /mole Kelvin. Remember : PV = nRT
