Explanation:

More is the intermolecular forces present between the molecules of a substance more will be the boiling point of the substance.

Since, water is able to form hydrogen bonding and it also have dipole-dipole interaction as these are stronger than the forces present in ammonia. Hence, boiling point of water is greater than the boiling point of NH_{3}.

In CH_{4}, there are only dispersion forces present in it and these forces are weakest intermolecular forces.

As a result, the enthalpies of vaporization of the following substances increase in the order CH_{4} < NH_{3} < H_{2}O.

1. Rank the following compounds in order of decreasing acid strength using periodic trends. Rank the acids from strongest to wea
Softa [21]

Answer:

1. HBr>HCl> H2S >BH3

2.K_a1 very large — H2SO4

K_a1= 1.7 x 10^−2 — H2SO3

K_a1 = 1.7 x 10^−7 — H2S

Explanation:

As one goes down a row in the Periodic Table the properties that determine the acid strength can be observed.

The atoms get larger in radius meaning that in strength, the strength of the bonds get weaker, conversely meaning that the acids get stronger.

For the halogen-containing acids above following the rows and periods, HBr has the strongest bond and is the strongest acid and others follow in this order.

HBr>HCl> H2S >BH3

Acid Dissociation Constant provides us with information known as the ionization constant which comes in handy to measure the acid's strength. The meaning of the proportions are thus, the higher the Ka value, the stronger the acid i.e. it liberates more number of hydrogen ions per mole of acid in solution.

In solution strong acids completely dissociate hence, the value of dissociation constant of strong acids is very high.

Following the cues above on Ka;

K_a1 very large — H2SO4

K_a1= 1.7 x 10^−2 — H2SO3

K_a1 = 1.7 x 10^−7 — H2S

True or False;<br> aa is faster moving lava than pahoehoe?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

It is false :l

Explanation:

Pahoehoe is a smooth and continuous lava crust. Pahoehoe forms when the effusion rate is low and consequently the velocity of lava flow is slow. Pahoehoe lava flow is usually at least 10 times slower than typical aa lava flow.

Which formula equation represents the burning of sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide?
Leni [432]

Answer:

S(s) + O2(g) --> SO2(g)

Upper S (s) plus upper O subscript 2 (g) right arrow with delta above upper S upper O subscript 2 (g).

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

Sulfur + oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur = S

Oxygen = O2

Sulfur dioxide = SO2

So we have;

S(s) + O2(g) --> SO2(g)

The crrect option is option A. Upper S (s) plus upper O subscript 2 (g) right arrow with delta above upper S upper O subscript 2 (g).
