Which compound has the highest boiling point? HF, HI, HBr, HCl, or F2?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kisachek [45]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

HF

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.

AnnZ [28]
For starters, I would get the same height for each paper, such as a counter top. Then, I would make said paper. You would use a timer of course, maybe even something like a speed gun to calculate the speed as said paper falls. You would push each paper off the counter top and calculate the speed for each paper. This is the easiest way to prove your hypothesis.

calculate the mols of alt gas if the volume is 0.97 liters at a temperature of 12 C and the pressure is 152 Kpa’s
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

0.062mol

Explanation:

Using ideal gas law as follows;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

Based on the information provided;

P = 152 Kpa = 152/101 = 1.50atm

V = 0.97L

n = ?

T = 12°C = 12 + 273 = 285K

Using PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = (1.5 × 0.97) ÷ (0.0821 × 285)

n = 1.455 ÷ 23.39

n = 0.062mol
