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.

For her science project, Paula wants to determine if the growth of bacteria in standing rainwater changes over time. She collect

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The correct answer is - the number of days the rainwater stands in the jars.

Explanation:

The independent variable or the manipulating variable is a variable in a research or study is the variable which affects the dependent variable or the variable that is going to measure in the study.

In the study, variables that recieves the treatment and changed in every subject are independent variables and in this study number of days the rainwater standing in various jars that might affect the growth of the bacteria in rainwater.
