Answer:

NaF>NH3>H2S>CO2

Explanation:

The boiling point of a substance depends on the magnitude of electronegativity difference and the type of bond between the atoms of the compound in question.

NaF is an ionic substance. Ionic substances have a high melting and boiling point due to the fact that the ionic lattice contains a large number of ions. This means that a lot of energy is usually required to overcome this ion-ion interaction therefore ionic compounds usually have high melting and boiling points.

Nitrogen is more electronegative than sulphur hence NH3 is more polar than H2S and consequently NH3 has a higher boiling point than H2S due to stronger dipole-dipole interaction.

CO2 is a nonpolar molecule hence it has the lowest boiling point. Only weak dispersion forces exist in CO2.

Chlorine-35 has 17 protons. how many protons and neutrons does the isotope chlorine-36 have?
alexandr402 [8]
To find the number of neutrons in an atom you can use and equation

N = Mass no. - Protons 

N of chlorine-36 = 36 - 17 = 19 

so chlorine-36 has 19 neutrons 

hope that helps

Used oil needs to be kept in what kind of containers
Paul [167]

Answer:

Never store used oil in anything other than tanks and storage containers. Used oil may also be stored in units that are permitted to store regulated hazardous waste. Tanks and containers storing used oil do not need to be RCRA permitted, however, as long as they are labeled and in good condition.

Which phase change results with increased kinetic energy?
weqwewe [10]

An increase in kinetic energy corresponds to an increase in temperature. Out of boiling, condensation, freezing, and precipitation, boiling is the only one that indicates an increase in temperature.

How can you tell whether a fat contains primarily saturated or unsaturated fatty acids?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
In terms of physically observing it, if the substance is a lions based substance, like oil or margarine, depending on the state, this will inform how well the hydrocarbons can pack together well or not, or will there be bends in the ring preventing the molecules from packing well.

Liquids are unsaturated
Solids are saturated.

Which of the following is TRUE? A) The equivalence point is where the amount of acid equals the amount of base during any acid-b
liberstina [14]

Answer:

the correct option is B

Explanation:

The correct option is b, since if we reach pH 7, it means that the acid-base reaction is neutralized, therefore the base has been neutralized by an acid or vice versa, without taking into account the proteins or the amounts of both components .
