Answer: KF > CH_2O > C_2H_2

Explanation:

The order of boiling point depends upon the type of interactions present between the molecules.

Potassium fluoride (KF) is an ionic compound and the opposite ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces.

C_2H_2 is a covalent compound and the molecules are held together by weak van der Waals' forces.

Formaldehyde is a polar compound due to presence of polar carbonyl group. Hence dipole-dipole force is present between formaldehyde molecules.

Thus the decreasing order of boiling point is:

KF > CH_2O > C_2H_2

Why does green light slow down more than orange light does when passing through an object?
otez555 [7]
The correct answer among the choices is the last option. <span>Green light has a higher frequency than orange light. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. G</span>reen has wavelengths ranging form 495 to 570 nm and orange has wavelengths ranging from 590 to 620 nm. Speed is said to be directly proportional with wavelength. Higher wavelength means more faster light.

when 6.25 grams of pure iron are allowed to react with oxygen , a black oxide forms. if the product weighs 8.15 g, what is the e
erik [133]
We are given with the mass of  pure iron that reacts with oxygen to form an oxide which has a given mass as well. the mass of oxygen reacted is 8.15-6.25 g or 1.9 grams. THen we convert the mass of the reactants to moles. Iron is equal to 0.1119 moles and oxygen is equal to 0.1188. We divide each number to the less amount. Hence iron is 1 and oxygen is approx 1. The empirical formula hence is FeO or ferrous oxide or Iron (II) oxide.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

At the end of meiosis, there are four cells, each with 23 chromosomes, for a total of 92 chromosomes split between the four cells.

Explanation:

During meiosis, a diploid cell  (46 chromosomes) replicates its DNA (making 92 chromosomes) then undergoes two cell divisions to generate four haploid cells (23 chromosomes).

These haploid cells are the gametes which, during fertilization, fuse to become a zygote with 46 chromosomes.
