Answer:

it is organic

Coal is classed as an organic sedimentary rock and rocks are made from inorganic (not from living) material such as minerals. Coal is made from decomposed plants that are organic (were living)

Identify the dominant intermolecular attraction in bh3.
k0ka [10]
The molecule BH3 is trigonal planar, with B in the center and H in the three vertices. Ther are no free electrons. All the valence electrons are paired in and forming bonds.

There are four kind of intermolecular attractions: ionic, hydrogen bonds, polar and dispersion forces.

B and H have very similar electronegativities, Boron's electronegativity is 2.0 and Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.0.

The basis of ionic compounds are ions and the basis of polar compounds are dipoles.

The very similar electronegativities means that B and H will not form either ions or dipoles. So, that discards the possibility of finding ionic or polar interactions.

 Regarding, hydrogen bonds, that only happens when hydrogen bonds to O, N or F atoms. This is not the case, so you are sure that there are not hydrogen bonds.

When this is the case, the only intermolecular force is dispersion interaction, which present in all molecules.

Then, the answer is dispersion interaction.

Iodine monochloride (ICl) has a higher boiling point than bromine (Br2) partly because iodine monochloride is a(n)
tekilochka [14]

Answer: polar molecule.

Explanation:

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure surrounding the liquid. The boiling point is dependent on the type of forces present.

Iodine monochloride (ICl) is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativities of iodine and chlorine. Thus the molecules are bonded by strong dipole dipole forces. Thus a higher temperature is needed to generate enough vapor pressure.

Bromine (Br_2) is a non polar molecule as there is no electronegativity difference between two bromine atoms. The molecules are bonded by weak vanderwaal forces and thus has low boiling point.

Determine whether you can swim in 1.00 x 10^27 molecules of water.​
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

We can not swim in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules of water

Explanation:

The given number of molecules of water = 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules

The Avogadro's number, N_A, gives the number of molecules in one mole of a substance

N_A ≈ 6.0221409 × 10²³ molecules/mol

Therefore

Therefore, we have;

The number of moles of water present in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules, n = (The number of molecules of water) ÷ N_A

∴ n = (1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules)/(6.0221409 × 10²³ molecules/mol) = 1,660.53902857 moles

The mass of one mole of water = The molar mass of water = 18.01528 g/mol

The mass, 'm', of water in 1,660.53902857 moles of water is given as follows;

Mass = (The number of moles of the substance) × (The molar mass of the substance)

∴ The mass of the water in the given quantity of water, m = 1,660.53902857 moles × 18.01528 g/mol ≈ 29.9150756 kg.

The density pf water, ρ = 997 kg/m³

Volume = Mass/Density

∴ The volume of the water present in the given quantity of water, v = 29.9150756 kg/(997 kg/m³) ≈ 30.0050909 liters

The volume of the water present in 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules of water ≈ 30.0 liters

The average volume of a human body = 62 liters

Therefore, we can not swim in the given quantity of 1.00 × 10²⁷ molecules = 30.0 liters water
