Answer:

C) NH3 > PH3 > CH4

Explanation:

The boiling point of a substance depends on the nature of intermolecular interaction between the molecules of the substance. The greater the magnitude of intermolecular interaction between the molecules of the substance, the higher the boiling point of the substance.

Both NH3 and PH3 have intermolecular hydrogen bonding between their molecules. However, since nitrogen is more electronegative than phosphorus, the magnitude of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in NH3 is greater than in PH3 hence NH3 has a higher boiling point than PH3.

CH4 molecules only have weak dispersion forces between them hence they exhibit the lowest boiling point.

sa solution is made by dissolving 26.42 g of (NH4)2SO4 in enough H2O to make 50.00 mL of solution. what is the molarity of the s
krok68 [10]
The answer is 0.2 M.

Molarity is a measure of the concentration of solute in a solution

c = n ÷V<span>
c - concentration of solute,
n - number of moles of solute
V - volume of solution

</span>

We know:

V = 50.00 mL = 0.05 L

c = ?

n = ?


Let's calculate concentration:

c = m/(V * Mr)


The molar mass of <span>(NH4)2SO4 is the sum of atomic masses (Ar) of its elements):
Mr (</span><span>(NH4)2SO4) = 2Ar(N) + 8 Ar(H) + Ar(S) + 4Ar(O)
                           = 2 * 14 + 8 * 1 + 32 + 4 * 16 =
                           = 28 + 8 + 32 + 64 = 
                           = 132 g/mol

c = 26.42 g/ (0.05 L * 132g /mol) =26.42 g/ 6.6 L*g/mol = 4 mol/L = 4 M

Now, calculate molarity:
</span>c = n ÷V
n = c * V
n = 4 mol/L * 0.05 L
n = 0.2 mol

You have probably noticed that some liquids, such as honey and molasses, flow slowly at room temperature. How does heating affec
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Viscosity of water decreases markedly with increasing temperature. When the viscosity decreases, the flow resistance decreases. So for the same driving force, that is the pressure drop per unit length, the water flow rate will be higher.

Hope this helps :)

Pls help!!!!!! In your own words, explain how chemists properly represent the law of conservation of matter in their chemical
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

They represent it by ensuring that the number of atoms of each element (matter) in the reactant side is the same as the product side

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter stated that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Chemical equations involve combining atoms of elements. The compounds combined by chemists are called REACTANTS while the produced compounds are called PRODUCTS.

In order to conform to the law of conservation of matter, the same quantity of matter present in the reactants must be present in the products. This means that the number of atoms of each element (matter) in the reactant side must be the same as the product side. For example;

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

In this chemical equation for photosynthesis, number of atoms in the reactant side (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen) are the same as that in the product side (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen), hence, this obeys the law of conservation of mass.

In a nutshell, chemists chemists properly represent the law of conservation of matter in their chemical equations by making sure that same number of atoms of reactants is present in the products.
