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:
a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
Explanation:
It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.
But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.
Thus the correct option is (a).
