Answer:

Boiling point of HF is higher as compared to HCl because of presence of hydrogen bonding in it.

Explanation:

In HF, intermolecular force of attraction is hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of electrostatic force of attraction existing between H atom and electronegative atom.

For a molecule to have hydrogen bonding, H atom must be bonded to electronegative atom, O, N and F.

Hydrogen bonding can be intermolecular and intramolecular.

So, in HF hydrogen bonding present.

In HCl, only van der Waals force exists. van der Waals forces are weak as compared to hydrogen bonding.

Because of presence of hydrogen bonding, HF molecules are held tightly and so requires more heat to boil.

Therefore, boiling point of HF is more as compared to HCl.

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that operates between the temperatures of 627°C and 27°C with a thermal effici
Oksana_A [137]

Answer Explanation:

the efficiency of the the engine is given by=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}

where T₂= lower temperature

           T₁= Higher temperature

we have given efficiency =70%

lower temperature T₂=27°C=273+27=300K

higher temperature T₁=627°C=273+627=900K

efficiency=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}

                =1-\frac{300}{900}

                 =1-0.3333

                 =0.6666

                 =66%

66% is less than 70% so so inventor claim is wrong

Consider a Carnot refrigeration cycle executed in a closed system in the saturated liquid–vapor mixture region using 1.06 kg of
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

P_m_i_n = 442KPA

Explanation:

We are given:

m = 1.06Kg

T_H = 1.2T_L

T = 22kj

Therefore we need to find coefficient performance or the cycle

COP_R = \frac {1}{(T_R/T_l) -1}

= \frac {1 }{1.2-1}

= 5

For the amount of heat absorbed:

Q_l = COP_R Wm

= 5 × 22 = 110KJ

For the amount of heat rejected:

Q_H = Q_L + W_m

= 110 + 22 = 132KJ

[tex[ q_H = \frac{Q_L}{m} [/tex];

= = \frac{132}{1.06}

= 124.5KJ

Using refrigerant table at hfg = 124.5KJ/Kg we have 69.5°c

Convert 69.5°c to K we have 342.5K

To find the minimum temperature:

T_L = \frac{T_H}{1.2};

T_L = \frac{342.5}{1.2}

= 285.4K

Convert to °C we have 12.4°C

From the refrigerant R -134a table at T_L = 12.4°c we have 442KPa

What is the minimum efficiency of a functioning current-model catalytic converter? a. 60% b. 75% c. 80% d. 90%
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

d. 90%

Explanation:

As we know that internal combustion engine produce lot's of toxic gases to reduce these toxic gases in the environment a device is used and this device is know as current modeling converter.

Generally the efficiency of current model catalytic converter is more than 90%.But the minimum efficiency this converter is 90%.

So option d is correct.

d. 90%
