1. a cube has a mass of 40 grams. one side of the cube has a length of 3.4. what is the density of the cube?

1.0177 g/cm³

We are given;

We are required to get the density of the cube;

Thus, Volume of the cube = 3.4 cm × 3.4 cm × 3.4 cm

                                 = 39.304 cm³

But, density = Mass ÷ volume

                    = 40 g ÷ 39.304 cm³

                    = 1.0177 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the cube is 1.0177 g/cm³

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
