Answer:
(A) The intermolecular attraction between HF molecules are stronger than between HCl molecules mainly to due hydrogen bonding.
Explanation:
Since Flourine is highly electronegative and as such, when it bonds with Hydrogen it forms a hydrogen bond. Whereas the HCL molecule is a polar molecule whose inter-molecular forces are dipole dipole interactions. Although a Hydrogen bond is a type of dipole dipole interaction it is stronger than the traditional dipole dipole forces and London dispersion forces. HF also has a shorter bond length which makes the bond and inter-molecular forces stronger as compared to HCL.
Heat energy released : 167.2 kJ
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Heat can be calculated using the formula:
Q = mc∆T
Q = heat, J
m = mass, g
c = specific heat, joules / g ° C
∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K
m = 2000 g
c = 4.18 J/ g ° C
∆t = 20 ° C
If you were to compare the mass of the products and reactants in a reaction, you would find that the mass of the products is <span>equal to the mass of the reactants.</span>
There is 6 non - bonding pairs.
Let me show you one easy method to do this.
o22-, oxygen valence electron = 6 here we have two so total 12, and -2 that means we add electrons so it’s all equal to 14 right.
whenever need to find lone pair, subtract the number you get with the lowest multiple of 8.
here we total 14 valence electron right so lowest multiple of 8 would be 8.
so 14 - 8 = 6 and that is our answer.
Let me know if you have Problem with chemistry.
The nucleus and the electron cloud are the two parts !!
