Chemistry

8 0

Answer:

(A) The intermolecular attraction between HF molecules are stronger than between HCl molecules mainly to due hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

Since Flourine is highly electronegative and as such, when it bonds with Hydrogen it forms a hydrogen bond. Whereas the HCL molecule  is a polar molecule whose inter-molecular forces are dipole dipole interactions. Although a Hydrogen bond is a type of dipole dipole interaction it is stronger than the traditional dipole dipole forces and London dispersion forces. HF also has a shorter bond length which makes the bond and inter-molecular forces  stronger as compared to HCL.

Is the following nuclear equation balanced?<br><br> No<br> Yes
fredd [130]

Answer:

Yes.

The nuclear equation {226/88 Ra → 222/26 Rn + 4/2 He} is balanced. As we know that an alpha particle is identical to a helium atom. This implies that if an alpha particle is eliminated from an atom's nucleus, an atomic number of 2 and a mass number of 4 is lost.

Therefore, the equation will be reduced to:

226 - 4 = 222

88 - 2 = 86

Hence, the equation is balanced.

D

Explanation:

I think it is D. Think about it- if a human jumps, they are less than the gravitational force. But, if you are greater than the gravitational force, I think you will go into space.

Which statements about the operation of an automated micropipettor are true? The volume dial has already been set, do not alter
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct statement is that the point of initial resistance is the level of depression that will fill the pipette with the desired volume of solution.

Explanation:

The pipette can be otherwise stored vertically or horizontally, this has nothing to do with the operation, and before the operation, the dial needs to be set. Also, the plastic pipette tip should not be ejected at all, thus, no new disposable plastic tip is required for each sample.

The correct statement is that the point of initial resistance is the level of depression that will fill the pipette with the desired volume of solution.
