Based on your knowledge of intermolecular forces and trends, select the statement that is most accurately compares HF and HCl.

Chemistry
1 answer:
tangare [24]3 years ago
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.

How much energy is added to change 180g of liquid water to gas at 100 degrees Celsius
Finger [1]

Answer:

40.7 kJ  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the heat, q, needed to evaporate a liquid is

q = mΔHvap


<em>Data:  </em>

        m = 180 g

ΔHvap = 2260 J/g

<em>Calculation: </em>

q = 180 g × 2260 /1

q = 40 700 J = 40.7 kJ

g The boiling of water is a Question 4 options: chemical and physical damage chemical change because a gas (steam) is given off
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

physical change because the gaseous water is chemically the same as the liquid

Explanation:

Matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are; solid, liquid and gas.

A physical change can be defined as a type of change that only affects the physical form of a chemical substance (matter) without having any effect on its chemical properties. Thus, a physical change would only affect the physical appearance and properties of a chemical substance (matter) but not its chemical properties.

This ultimately implies that, a physical change result in a change of matter from one form or phase (liquid, solid or gas) to another without a corresponding change in chemical composition.

Hence, the boiling of water is considered to be a physical change because the gaseous water is chemically the same as the liquid i.e there isn't any changes in chemical composition of water when boiling.

Where did they start water conservation in tamil nadu . short answer
OleMash [197]

Explanation:

The 2019 water crisis in Chennai has made us realize the importance of saving water more than ever. Water, as we all know, is a finite resource without which our planet would be a barren wasteland. Today with our increasing population it would be logical to say that our water consumption has also increased. And with increasing demand and lesser supply, water scarcity arises. Our ancestors who had foreseen the potential dangers of water scarcity had developed methods to conserve water that was suited for the varied terrain of the Tamil-speaking kingdoms.

Traditional Rainwater Conservation methods of Tamil Nadu

Eri

There are no perennial rivers in Tamil Nadu except the Thamirabharani River which flows through Thirunelveli district. And so, several hundred years ago a simple system was devised to utilize the rainwater to the fullest. An Eri or tank system is one of the oldest forms of water conservation systems in India. Many Eris are still in use in Tamil Nadu and play an active role in irrigation. They act as water reservoirs and flood control systems. They prevent soil erosion, recharge groundwater, and prevent wastage of runoff water during heavy rainfall.

Kudimaramathu

Kudimaramathu is one of the old traditional practice of stakeholders participating in the maintenance and management of irrigation systems. During earlier days, citizens of a village used to actively participate in maintaining the water bodies of their village by deepening and widening the lakes and ponds and restoring the water bodies back to their original form. The silt, rich in nutrients, collected in the process would be used by the farmers themselves in their field. A sense of collective ownership ensured the continued survival of the water bodies.

Sodium tert-butoxide (NaOC(CH3)3) is classified as bulky and acts as Bronsted Lowry base in the reaction. It is reacted with 2-c
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:but-1-ene

Explanation:This is an E2 elimination reaction .

Kindly refer the attachment for complete reaction and products.

Sodium tert-butoxide is a bulky base and hence cannot approach the substrate 2-chlorobutane from the more substituted end and hence major product formed here would not be following zaitsev rule of elimination reaction.

Sodium tert-butoxide would approach from the less hindered side that is through the primary centre and hence would lead to the formation of 1-butene .The major product formed in this reaction would be 1-butene .

As the mechanism of the reaction is E-2 so it will be a concerted mechanism and as sodium tert-butoxide will start abstracting the primary hydrogen through the less hindered side simultaneously chlorine will start leaving. As the steric repulsion in this case is less hence the transition state is relatively stabilised and leads to the formation of a kinetic product 1-butene.

Kinetic product are formed when reactions are dependent upon rate and not on thermodynamical stability.

2-butene is more thermodynamically6 stable as compared to 1-butene  

The major product formed does not follow the zaitsev rule of forming a more substituted alkene as sodium tert-butoxide cannot approach to abstract the secondary proton due to steric hindrance.
