Explain why hydrogen chloride is a gas at room temperature

Chemistry
1 answer:
Effectus [21]2 years ago
8 0

The hydrogen chloride is a gas at room temperature due to the presence of weak intermolecular forces.

<h3>What is hydrogen chloride?</h3>

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is a chemical compound in which polar covalent bond is present between hydrogen atom and chlorine atom.

This bond is not so strong enough to maintain the stability in the liquid phase, else they are weak intermolecular forces and easily gets break through small amount of energy and having low boiling point. That's why HCl is present in gaseous state at room temperature.

Hence due to weak intermolecular force, HCl is present in gaseous state.

A student made the following diagram to represent cellular respiration.
Ratling [72]
The correct answer is A, Water is not used up during this process. This is because when cellular respiration occurs oxygen and glucose combine. When this takes place water is left behind when carbon is separated from glucose. Because water is being left behind it is not being used up in this process.

satela [25.4K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Step 1;  NaHCO3(s) + CH3COOH(l)

Step 2 ; CO2(g)

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The chemical equation for the reaction of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) and vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH) reaction occurs in two steps.

Step 1;  

  • A double displacement reaction in which acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid:
  • Equation;

NaHCO3(s)+ CH3COOH(l) → CH3COONa(aq) + H2CO3(l)

Step 2;

  • Carbonic acid is unstable and undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce the carbon dioxide gas:

H2CO3(l) → H2O(l) + CO2(g)
