Questions

Base your answers to questions 59 through 61 on the information below.

Carbon forms molecular compounds with some elements from Group 16. Two of these compounds are carbon dioxide, CO2, and carbon disulfide, CS2.

Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature. At standard temperature and pressure, CO2(s) changes directly to CO2(g).

Carbon disulfide is formed by a direct reaction of carbon and sulfur. At room temperature, CS2 is a colorless liquid with an offensive odor. Carbon disulfide vapors are flammable.

59 Identify one physical property and one chemical property of CS2. [1]

HIGHLIGHT TO SEE THE ANSWER

Physical property:

Chemical property:

liquid at room temperature

CS2 can be decomposed into C and S.

colorless

flammable

60 State what happens to the potential energy of CO2 molecules during this phase change of CO2. [1]

HIGHLIGHT TO SEE THE ANSWER

PE increases

61 Compare the intermolecular forces in CO2 and CS2 at room temperature. [1]

HIGHLIGHT TO SEE THE ANSWER

Carbon disulfide has stronger intermolecular forces than carbon dioxide.
