Answer:

HCOOH

Explanation:

HCOOH ( Formic Acid ) has higher boiling point than CH₃CH₂OH ( Ethanol ) .

Both the compounds have same molecular mass and should have similar boiling point too , but , Formic acid have higher boiling point than ethanol .

Since , Both formic acid and ethanol can form hydrogen bonds and now  the strength of hydrogen bond will help to determine their boiling point .

Considering the case of ethanol , the hydrogen bond formed is weak due to lesser polarity of -OH while in case of Formic Acid , the - COOH provides more polarity due to the resonance stabilisation . Hence the boiling point of Formic Acid is more as it forms stronger Hydrogen Bond.

How do meteoroligists measure wind chill
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Researchers at the NWS use a mathematical formula to calculate wind chill. In that formula, the wind speed in miles per hour (v) is subtracted from the air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (T). It can be used in temperatures below 50°F and wind speeds above 3 mph.
