Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. consider the substances hydrogen (h2), fluorine (f2), and hydrogen fluoride
1 answer:
The boiling point of HF is higher than the boiling point of , and it is higher than the boiling point of
.
The boiling point is the temperature at which the pressure exerted by the surroundings upon a liquid is equalled by the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid.
has weak dispersion force attractions between its molecules, whereas liquid HF has strong ionic interactions between
and
ions.
Only London Forces are formed - Therefore more energy is required to break the intermolecular forces in HF than in the other hydrogen halides and so HF has a higher boiling point.
and
will only have intra-molecular attractions and there will be no hydrogen bonds present in them. As a result, their boiling point will be lower.
Hence, the boiling point of HF is higher than the boiling point of , and it is higher than the boiling point of
.

Answer : The most likely happens during this reaction is, Oxidation-reduction
Explanation :
The balanced reaction will be,
In this reaction, neutral iron loses 3 electrons and oxidizes in (+3) state, and neutral oxygen gains 2 electrons and reduces in (-2) state,
When iron react with oxygen gas to give iron oxide. This process is known as iron rusting. During the reaction, oxidation-reduction process occurs.
Oxidation : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance loses its electrons. Or we can say that in oxidation, the oxidation number increases.
Reduction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance gains its electrons. Or we can say that in reduction, the oxidation number decreases.
