Answer:
c. HF can participate in hydrogen bonding.
Explanation:
<u>The boiling points of substances often reflect the strength of the </u><u>intermolecular forces</u><u> operating among the molecules.</u>
If it takes more energy to separate molecules of HF than of the rest of the hydrogen halides because HF molecules are held together by stronger intermolecular forces, then the boiling point of HF will be higher than that of all the hydrogen halides.
A particularly strong type of intermolecular attraction is called the hydrogen bond, <em>which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar bond</em>, such as N-H, O-H, or F-H, and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.
Answer: D. like dissolves like
Explanation:
The solubility of substances is governed by: Like dissolves like, which states that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.
Hydrocarbons are non polar in nature due to less difference between the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen and thus are soluble in non polar solvents only.
Ionic compounds which are formed by elements with high electronegativity difference are polar in nature and thus dissolve in polar solvents.
Example: in water.
Answer:
58.0 g/mol
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- MCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ → 2AgCl + M(NO₃)₂
First we <u>calculate how many moles of silver chloride</u> were produced, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 6.41 g AgCl ÷ 143.32 g/mol = 0.0447 mol AgCl
Then we <u>convert AgCl moles into MCl₂ moles</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric ratio</em>:
- 0.0447 mol AgCl *
= 0.0224 mol MCl₂
Now we<u> calculate the molar mass of MCl₂</u>, using the original<em> mass of the sample</em>:
- 2.86 g / 0.0224 mol = 127.68 g/mol
We can write the molar mass of MCl₂ as:
- Molar Mass MCl₂ = Molar Mass of M + (Molar Mass of Cl)*2
- 127.68 g/mol = Molar Mass of M + (35.45 g/mol)*2
Finally we<u> calculate the molar mass</u> of M:
- Molar Mass of M = 57 g/mol
The closest option is 58.0 g/mol.
