Explain why a hydrogen bond between two water molecules is weaker than a hydrogen bond between two hydrogen fluoride molecules.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The hydrogen bond between hydrogen fluoride molecules is stronger because the polarization in H-F molecule is stronger.

Explanation:

The more polarization happens in the molecule the stronger the inter-molecular hydrogen bond is.

Consider water (H - O - H) and hydrogen fluoride (H - F), the polarization of the (H - F) bond is stronger than the (O - H) bond due to the higher electronegativity of the fluoride atom. Actually, fluoride has the highest electronegativity.

Find the volume of 56.0 grams of O2 at stp
BaLLatris [955]
The molar mass of O2 is 32g/mol. So the mol amount of these O2 is 56/32=2 mol. STP stands for the standard temperature and pressure which means the temperature is 0 ℃ and pressure is 100 kPa. And the molar volume of gas is 22.7 L/mol under STP. So the answer is 22.7*2=45.4 L

Which reaction is a decomposition reaction? A. 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2 B. 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O C. ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2 D. 2NaBr + CaF
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Option A. </u></em><u><em>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</em></u>

Explanation:

There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:

  • Decomposition reactions
  • Synthesis or combination reaction
  • Single replacement reactions
  • Double replacement reactions
  • Combustion reactions

The given reactions are:

  • <u>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</u>

Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.

  • <u>4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O</u> is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.

  • <u>ZnS + 3 O₂ →  2ZnO + 2SO₂ </u>is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.

  • <u>2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ </u>is a double replacement reaction because two  ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).

Which of the following describes a covalent bond?
BaLLatris [955]

I think it is C, because a covalent bond is a distribution of 2 atoms to 1 electron, meaning they are sharing and not exchanging, and the electronegravity would be above 1.7
