Answer:

Carbon Dioxide is an Infrared Radiation Absorber. The (CO2) molecules also emits the absorbed infrared (IR) radiation energy. The photon energy from the infrared radiation causes the CO2 molecule to vibrate. Only some of its vibrational modes absorb infrared radiation

Explanation:

Its linear structure is considered when working with the formula to calculate the number of molecular vibrational modes. It has 3n - 4 vibrational modes, where n is the number of atoms in a compound of CO2

With 3 atoms, CO2 has

3n−5=4 types or patterns of vibration

1. The symmetric stretch

2. The asymmetric stretch

3. The bend

The symmetric stretch vibrational mode is ir-inactive.

The asymmetric stretch is ir-active as it results in changes in dipole moment

The bend is ir-active as well as it results in a change in dipole moment too.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Endothermic means: accompanied by or requiring the absorption of heat. So therefor cold packs would not be endothermic because they don't release cold. Instead they absorb heat

A sample of an ideal gas occupies 2.78 x 10^3 mL at 25°C and 760 mm Hg.
iris [78.8K]

Answer: It will occupy 4.45\times 10^3ml at the same temperature and 475 mm Hg.

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

P_1V_1=P_2V_2    (At constant temperature and number of moles)

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 760 mm Hg

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 475 mm Hg

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 2.78\times 10^3ml

V_2  = final volume of gas = ?

Putting in the values:

760mm Hg\times 2.78\times 10^3ml=475 mm Hg\times V_2

V_2=4.45\times 10^3ml

Thus it will occupy 4.45\times 10^3ml at the same temperature and 475 mm Hg

Write an equation for the formation of bf3(g) from its elements in their standard states.
blagie [28]
In nature, boron is monoatomic. Therefore, its formula is B.
On the other hand, fluorine is diatomic. Therefore, its formula is F2

Now, the basic unbalanced equation is:
B + F2 .........> BF3

Now, we need to balance this equation. As you can see, we have two fluorine moles entering the reaction and 3 formed in the products.
Balancing the equation, we will reach the following balanced reaction:
2B + 3F2 .......> 2BF3

How does the arrangement of atoms in a mineral relate to its properties?
MakcuM [25]
The arrangement of atoms in a mineral can change its physical and chemical properties. 
Diamonds and coal are both made of carbon, however, their chemical and physical properties are very different.
