C. heat from the water moving through the cooler air

I think it's C because when something cools down, it has to reach a point of thermal equilibrium with the matter (in this case air) around it. So heat transfer happens through convection from the heat in the pan to the cooler surrounding air. The heated air becomes less dense and rises, while cooler air, sinks to the surface of the water, gets heated, and rises.This convection cycle keeps happening until the water in the pan is around the same temperature with the air around it.

How many moles of chlorine are used up in a reaction that produces 0.35kg of BCl3

maw [93]

4.48 mol Cl2. A reaction that produces 0.35 kg of BCl3 will use 4.48 mol of Cl2.

(a) The balanced chemical equation is

2B + 3Cl2 → 2BCl3

(b) Convert kilograms of BCl3 to moles of BCl3

MM: B = 10.81; Cl = 35.45; BCl3 = 117.16

Moles of BCl3 = 350 g BCl3 x (1 mol BCl3/117.16 g BCl3) = 2.987 mol BCl3

Moles of Cl2 = 2.987 mol BCl3 x (3 mol Cl2/2 mol BCl3) = 4.48 mol Cl2

Which of the following statements best explains the observation that hydrogen fluoride has the highest boiling point of all the

olasank [31]

Answer:

c. HF can participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

The boiling points of substances often reflect the strength of the intermolecular forces operating among the molecules.

If it takes more energy to separate molecules of HF than of the rest of the hydrogen halides because HF molecules are held together by stronger intermolecular forces, then the boiling point of HF will be higher than that of all the hydrogen halides.

A particularly strong type of intermolecular attraction is called the hydrogen bond, which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar bond, such as N-H, O-H, or F-H, and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.
