Non-ideal gas behavior can be described as follows : Boyle's law predicts that at very high pressures,
a gas volume becomes extremely small and approaches zero. This cannot be, however, because the
molecules themselves occupy space and are practically incompressible. Because of the finite size of
the molecules, the PV product at high pressures is larger than predicted for an ideal gas, and the
compressibility factor is greater than one. Another consideration is that intermolecular forces exist
in gases shows that because of attractive forces between the molecules, the force of the collisions of
gas molecules with the container walls is less than expected for an ideal gas. Intermolecular forces
of attraction account for compressibility factors of less than one.

B. Concept: Periodic trends and bond polarity.

C. Solution:

A. (1) Basicity of halide anions in water follows conjugate-acid strength; HF is

weakest acid so F⁻ is the strongest base, then Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻ → F⁻ > Cl⁻ > Br⁻
> I⁻ (true).

(2) Acid strength of hydrogen halides increases down the group (bond strength
falls, H–X bond easier to break) so HI is the strongest among HF, HCl, HBr, HI
(true).

B. (3) Ionic character of M–X depends on electronegativity difference; F is

most electronegative so M–F is most ionic, then M–Cl, M–Br, M–I (true).

C. (4) Hydration enthalpy is larger (more exothermic) for smaller, more

highly charged-dense ions; F⁻ is smallest so it has the highest (most
negative) hydration enthalpy (true).
