Answer:
HF - hydrogen bonding
CBr4 - Dispersion
NF3 - Dipole-dipole
Explanation:
Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, chlorine nitrogen, oxygen etc. Hence the dominant intermolecular force in HF is hydrogen bonding.
CBr4 is nonpolar because the molecule is tetrahedral and the individual C-Br dipole moments cancel out leaving the molecule with a zero dipole moment hence the dominant intermolecular force are the dispersion forces.
NF3 has a resultant dipole moment hence the molecules are held together by dipole-dipole interaction.
Answer:
I am sure that the C one is correct
Answer:
Benzoic acid is the stronger acid
Explanation:
Weak acids do not dissociate completely in the solution. They exists in equilibrium with their respective ions in the solution.
The extent of dissociation of the acid furnising hydrogen ions can be determined by using dissociation constant of acid (
).
Thus for a weak acid, HA
The is:
![K_a= \frac{[A^-][H^+]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E-%5D%5BH%5E%2B%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
The more the , the more the acid dissociates, the more the stronger is the acid.
Also,
is defined as the negative logarithm of .
So, more the , less is the and vice versa
All can be summed up as:
The less the value of , the more the is and the more the acid dissociates and the more the stronger is the acid.
Given,
of acetic acid = 54.7
of benzoic acid = 54.2
of benzoic acid < of acetic acid
So, benzoic acid is the stronger acid.
