Rank the following compounds in order of decreasing boiling point: potassium fluoride (KF), acetylene (C2H2), and formaldehyde (

CH2O)

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

How does temperature affect winds all<br> over the globe?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The differences in atmospheric pressure generate winds.

Explanation:

At the Equator, the sun warms the water and land more than it does the rest of the world. Warm equatorial air rises higher into the atmospher and migrates towards the poles. The complex relationships between fronts cause different types of winds and weather patterns.

I hope this helps :)

The maximum kinetic energy of a box sliding from the top of a ramp to the bottom is A) at the top. B) at the bottom. C) at the e
Readme [11.4K]

Kinetic energy of an object can be expressed in terms of its mass m and velocity v as:

KE = 1/2 * m* v²

Thus higher the velocity, greater will be the Kinetic energy. Now, as the box moves along a ramp from top to bottom, its velocity increases and so does the KE. Hence, kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom

Ans B) at the bottom

What is the molecular formula of an empirical N2H3 if n=2? <br><br>SHOW WORK!
aliya0001 [1]

A compound's empirical formula tells you what the smallest whole number ratio between the atoms that make up that compound is.

I think of the empirical formula as a building block for molecules. A compound's molecular formula will depend on how many building blocks are needed to build a molecule of a given substance.

In your example, you know that the empirical formula of the compound is

NO

2

.

This tells you that the minimum ratio between nitrogen atoms and oxygen atoms is

1

:

2

. In other words, the molecular formula will be a multiple of this building block.

molecular formula

=

empirical formula

×

n

, where

n

- the number of building blocks needed to build the molecular formula.

You also know that the molar mass of your compound is

92 g/mol

.

This means that the molar mass of all the atoms that make up that molecule must add up to give

92 g/mol

.

So, how would you determine how many building blocks you need? Well, start by figuring out the molar mass of one building block, i.e. the molar mass of the empirical formula.

Since it contains one nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms, you will get

14.0067 g/mol

15.9994 g/mol

=

46.0055 g/mol

So, if one building block has a molar mass of

46.0055 g/mol

, how many would you need to get the molecule?

46.0055 g/mol

=

92 g/mol

n

=

46.0055

=

This means that the compound's molecular formula, which lists all the atoms that make up a molecule, will be

Bromine (Br) belongs to the halogen family. Based on the location of the halogens, how many valence electrons does bromine have?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

D. 7

Explanation:

The halogens are found in Group 7 of the Periodic Table. If Bromine is a halogen, then that means it would be found in Group 7. Also, elements in Group 7 have 7 electrons in its outer shell, Bromine would have 7 electrons in its outer shell.
