Answer:

Explanation:

This concept can be understood from the knowledge of Intermolecular forces of attraction.

Intermolecular bonds are Van der Waals forces which are weak forces of attraction joining non-polar and polar molecules together. They exist in the form of London Dispersion Forces and Dipole-dipole attraction.

An example of Dipole-dipole attraction is the hydrogen bond which is a unique dipole-dipole attraction between polar molecules in which a hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen).

Molecules that possess the characteristics of hydrogen bonding have a higher boiling point. In the given question, only HF undergo hydrogen bond due to the electronegative effect of the fluorine element.

F2 occurs as a weak London dispersion force and it occurs between non-polar molecules.

Acid mine drainage results from acidic water formed belowground that makes its way to the surface; the acidic water is formed as

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

El drenaje ácido de la mina resulta del agua ácida formada bajo tierra que llega a la superficie; el agua ácida se forma como resultado de la inundación de minas abandonadas donde el agua subterránea reacciona con un tipo de roca, pirita, que libera iones de hierro e hidrógenob) reacciona con dióxido de azufre y dióxido de nitrógeno para formar ácidos sulfúrico y nítricoc) se descarga los productos químicos utilizados en la minería procesada) impregna una capa de piedra caliza que reduce el pHe) reacciona con cobre y aluminio para formar roca de pirita e iones de hidrógeno

If you were given a 16.0 ml sample of solution A, describe how you could determine the mass of the sample using only your graph

rewona [7]

A density of the substance is an intrinsic property. Each substance has its own value of density, and it is constant. Since density is equal to mass over volume, a graph of mass vs volume would have a constant slope equal to density. So, it will be a linear graph. The mass is in the y-axis, and the volume is on the x-axis. Locate V = 16 mL on the x-axis, project it upwards until it intersects with the linear graph, then, move towards the left to determine the corresponding y-value, represented by the mass.
