Answer:

C. CH_3CH_2CH_3

Explanation:

Molecules with the stronger intermolecular forces are pulled tightly together  to form solid at higher temperatures and that's why the freezing point is higher.

Also, molecules with the stronger intermolecular force have greater interaction between the molecules and thus on heating do not boil easily and have high boiling point also.

Thus, melting point and boiling point increases with increase in number of carbon atoms and also increase in intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonding, if present).

Thus, the compound which is gas at room temperature is CH_3CH_2CH_3 <u>because it has least number of carbon atoms and absence of hydrogen bonding.</u>

A. Convert the mass of the Salt weighed out to fg.
omeli [17]

Answer:

6.564×10¹⁶ fg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of beaker = 76.9 g

Mass of beaker + salt = 142.54 g

Mass of salt in fg =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the salt in grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of beaker = 76.9 g

Mass of beaker + salt = 142.54 g

Mass of salt =?

Mass of salt = (Mass of beaker + salt) – (Mass of beaker)

Mass of salt = 142.54 – 76.9

Mass of salt = 65.64 g

Finally, we shall convert 65.64 g to femtograms (fg) as illustrated below:

Recall:

1 g = 1×10¹⁵ fg

Therefore,

65.64 g = 65.64 g × 1×10¹⁵ fg / 1g

65.64 g = 6.564×10¹⁶ fg

Therefore, the mass of the salt is 6.564×10¹⁶ fg.

12.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Nonbonding pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

Both oxygen atoms in the diatomic molecule have two nonbonding pairs. This results in the oxygen molecule having a planar geometric shape. This is because nonbonding pairs repel each other are significant in determining the shape of a molecule.

Which one of the following statements is FALSE? a In a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with base to produce a salt and H
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

HF is a weak acid and not a strong acid. This is because fluorine is a highly electronegative atom and when it combines with a hydrogen atom then it will attract the valence electron of hydrogen atom more towards itself.

As a result, it will not dissociates easily to give hydrogen ion. Hence, it acts as a weak acid.

A neutralization reaction is defined as a reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to give salt and water. For example, HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O

It is true that, spectator ions "appear in the total ionic equation for a reaction, but not in the net ionic equation".

Titration is defined as a process in which concentration of an unknown solution is determined using a solution of known concentration.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement HF, HCl, and HNO3 are all examples of strong acids, is false.

A. 1720 kJ<br> B. 125.6 kJ<br> C. 3440 kJ<br> D. 4730 kJ
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Q = 3440Kj

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of gold = 2kg

Latent heat of vaporization = 1720 Kj/Kg

Energy required to vaporize 2kg gold = ?

Solution:

Equation

Q= mLvap

It is given that heat required to vaporize the one kilogram gold is 1720 Kj thus, for 2 kg

by putting values,

Q= 2kg ×  1720 Kj/Kg

Q = 3440Kj

What is the molecular geometry around each carbon atom in a saturated hydrocarbon?
Lelu [443]
Answer:
            <span>Molecular geometry around each carbon atom in a saturated hydrocarbon is Tetrahedral.

Explanation:
                     </span> In saturated hydrocarbons (-CH₂-) the central atom (carbon) is bonded to either three or two hydrogen atoms and one or two carbon atoms. So, the central atom is having four electron pairs and all pairs are bonding pairs and lacks any lone pair of electron. According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory the central atom with four bonding pair electrons and zero lone pair electrons will attain a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109°.
