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.

If the car still produces 8500N, but now it accelerates at only 4 m/s2 what is the MASS
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

You can do that yourself, but there's a example question below. And, if for example, I just answer your question and you don't even try to answer. it dosent matter.

Explanation:Force=Mass x Acceleration  -or-  F=ma

where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. The units are Newtons (N) for force, kilograms (kg) for mass, and meters per second squared (m/s2) for acceleration. The other forms of the equation can be used to solve for mass or acceleration.

m=F/a and a=F/m Example:

Engineers at the Johnson Space Center must determine the net force needed for a rocket to achieve an acceleration of 70 m/s2. If the mass of the rocket is 45,000 kg, how much net force must the rocket develop?

Using Newton's second law, F=ma

F=(45,000 kg)(70 m/s2) = 3,150,000 kg m/s2 F=3,150,000 N Note that the units kg m/s2 and newtons are equivalent; that is, 1 kg m/s2

What bonds are broken and octane combustion?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Common combustion reactions break the bonds of hydrocarbon molecules,

Explanation:

the resulting water and carbon dioxide bonds always release more energy than was used to break the original hydrocarbon bonds. That's why burning materials mainly made up of hydrocarbons produces energy and is exothermic.
