Answer:

H2 < CH3Cl < HF

Explanation:

The intermolecular forces are the forces that bond the molecules together in a substance. There are three types of these forces:

Dipole induced -dipole induced, or London dispersion -> Is the weakest and is presented in nonpolar molecules, in which a dipole is induced and so the molecules are joined together;
Dipole-dipole -> Is stronger than the London dispersion and occurs in a polar molecule. In this case, the dipole already exists (partial positive and negative charges), so the poles are attracted;
Hydrogen bond -> It's the strongest and is formed when the hydrogen is bonded with a higher electronegativity element (F, O, and N).

So, the molecule of H2 is linear and formed by the same element, so, is nonpolar, and has London dispersion forces. The molecule of CH3Cl has 3 nonpolar bonds (C-H), and one polar bond (C-Cl), so it's polar and has dipole-dipole forces. And the HF molecule has hydrogen bonds.

*A polar bond is a bond formed by elements with different electronegativities.

The molar mass of a solid carboxylic acid is determined by titrating a known mass of the acid with a standardized solution of Na

laiz [17]

The answer is: II.The endpoint is recorded when the solution is dark red in color rather than light pink.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.

Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. If this indicator change color to dark red, more base is added and endpoint is not accurate.

If the the acid is spilled before titration, that does not make endpoint wrong and molar mass can be calculated.

In this example we can take acetic acid as carboxylic acid; basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.

Alisiya [41]

<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u>-</h2>

$\textsf{what is a displacement reactions? }$

<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h2>

$\large \underbrace{ \underline{ \sf Displacement \: reaction}}$

The reaction in which more reactive element replace a less reactive element from its compound is called displacement reaction.

Ex:-

$\bold{\large Zn+HCl \longrightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2}$

We have a sample of water vapor which cools from 150 °C to 125 °C. What happens to the motion of the molecules during this time

pentagon [3]

The motion of the molecules decreases.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Gases are formed when the energy in a system overcomes the attractive forces between the molecules. The gases expand to fill the space they occupy. In this way, the gas molecules interact little. In the gaseous state, the molecules move very quickly. As the temperature decreases, the amount of movement of the individual molecules also decreases.

The fast-moving particle slows down. When a particle speeds up, it has more kinetic energy. When a particle slows down, it has less kinetic energy. The particles in solid form are commonly connected through electrostatic powers. They don't get enough space to move around, therefore, their speed diminishes, they can't keep their standard speed like in the vaporous or fluid state.

Two solids of identical mass, A and B, are analyzed using identical calorimeters. Each calorimeter contains the same amount of w

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Specific heat of solid A is greater than specific heat of solid B.

Explanation:

In the calorimeter, as the temperature is increasing, the vibrational kinetic energy will increase and this means that additional amount of energy will be needed to increase the temperature by the same value. Therefore, we can conclude that specific heat increases as temperature increases.

Now, we are told that the final temperature of solid A's calorimeter is higher than that of B.

This means from our definition earlier, Solid A will have a higher specific heat that solid B.
