Water has a higher boiling point than expected because of the attractions between molecules.

D. of the strong attractions between polar water molecules

Evaporation occurs when water molecules on the surface gain enough energy to enter the atmosphere. However, stronger intermolecular forces between water molecules cause them to be strongly attracted to each other and to tend to stay in the liquid phase. When the temperature is raised (when heat is applied), more molecules gain the energy needed to escape these intermolecular forces and go into the vapor phase.
Therefore the best answer is D.

29. Ammonia is formed with one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. What is the electron configuration of nitrogen? How

masya89 [10]

Answer:

One lone-Pair is present in Ammonia

Explanation:

The number of valence electron in N = 5

The number of Valence electron in H = 1

The formula of ammonia = NH3

Total valence electron in ammonia molecule = 5 +3(1) = 5+3 = 8

The lewis structure suggest that :

Nitrogen completes its octet by sharing the electron pair with 3 hydrogen atoms.

3 electron of Nitrogen are involved in sharing with Hydrogen

So, remaining two electron are left non-bonded . Hence they exist as lone- pair

So, there is only 1 lone pair in the ammonia molecule .

The shape of NH3 is bent according to VSEPR theory . This is so because the presence of 1 lone pair causes more repulsion and occupy more space.

Thus the lone pair is changing the shape of the ammonia molecule . It also increase the dipole moment of the molecule , which gives polarity to it.

Of the following substances, ________ has the highest boiling point. Of the following substances, ________ has the highest boili

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Of the following substances, PCl₃ has the highest boiling point

Explanation:

The given substances and their boiling point from online resources are;

Krypton, Kr, boiling point = -153.4°C

Chlorine gas, Cl₂, boiling point = -34.6°C

Borane, BH₃, (transient compound), boiling point of the dimer it forms B₂H₆ = -164.85°C

Methane, CH₄, boiling point = -161.6°C

Phosphorus trichloride, PCl₃, boiling point = 76.1°C

Therefore, given that PCl₃ is a volatile liquid at room temperature, while the other substances are gases and that PCl₃ has the highest boiling point of all the substances of 76.1°C, the substance with the highest boiling point is PCl₃.

In a solution of a carbonated beverage, what is the dissolved carbon dioxide?

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

D is the correct answer because, in aqueous solution, solvent is water and solute (in this example carbon dioxide CO₂) is a substance dissolved in water. The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent depends of chemical composition, temperature and pressure
