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.

Given the atomic mass of select elements, calculate the molar mass of each salt.
arlik [135]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Molar mass is obtained as the sum of relative atomic masses as follow;

For CaBr = 40.08 + 79.90 = 119.98 g/mol

For BeBr =  9.012 + 79.90 = 88.912 g/mol

For CdBr2 = 112.41 + 2(79.90) = 272.21 g/mol

For CuBr2 = 63.55 + 2(79.90) = 223.35 g/mol

Zn + 2HCI --> ZnCl2 + H2
Elena-2011 [213]
Moles= mass\ relative formula mass(Ar)
moles of zinc= 7.9/30= 0.263
so we have 0.263 moles of zinc, and you need twice the amount of chlorine so therefore 0.526moles of chlorine= 0.526x 17=8.942g of chlorine
i cba to work the rest out but the most reasonable answer is 0.24 mol however if you need to use working outs, use the formula i provided earlier

Please help me, Thank you!
babymother [125]

Answer:

amount of charge

Explanation:

Oxygen and sulfur are both in Group 16, which means they have a -2 charge. They have two more electrons than protons, making the charge of the ion negative.

Hope that helps.
