Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a hydrogen atom comes in contact with an electronegative atom then it results in the formation of a chemical bond.

More is the electronegativity of combining atom, more stronger will be the bond with hydrogen atom. As a result, the compound formed will not easily give up hydrogen atom upon dissociation.

Whereas less is the electronegativity of atom combining with hydrogen atom, easily it will donate the hydrogen atom upon dissociation.

Since, out of the given option sulfur (S) atom has low electronegativity as compared to oxygen and nitrogen atom.

Hence, $CH_{3}SH$ will easily donate hydrogen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that $CH_{3}SH$ molecule would be the best hydrogen bond donor.

Which statement about surface tension is FALSE?

Georgia [21]

Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)

Explanation:

Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc

According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.

Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension

How many grams (m) of glucose are in 165 ml of a 5.50% (m/v) glucose solution? express your answer numerically in grams?

Leya [2.2K]

<span> mass of glucose = 0.055 *165 = 9.075 g

vol of methyl alc = 0.185 * 1.87 = 0.346 L = 346 ml

% NaCl ( m/v ) = mass NaCl * 100/ vol of soln

or Vol of Soln = mass NaCl / % NaCl (m/v)

= 32.1 * 100 / 6 = 535 ml the total vol of soln</span>
