Answer each of the following questions with increases, decreases, or does not change.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

a) increases

b) decreases

c) does not change

d) increases

Explanation:

The vapour pressure of a liquid is dependent on;

I) the magnitude of intermolecular forces

II) the temperature of the liquid

Hence, when any of these increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise.

Similarly, the boiling point of a liquid depends on the magnitude of intermolecular forces present because as intermolecular forces increases, more energy is required to break intermolecular bonds.

Lastly, increase in surface area of a liquid does not really affect it's vapour pressure.

Identify some other substances (besides KCl) that might give a positive test for chloride upon addition of AgNO3. do you think i
nlexa [21]

Answer:

-The other substances that give a positive test with AgNO3 are other chlorides present, iodides and bromide.

-It is reasonable to exclude iodides and bromides but it is not reasonable to exclude other chlorides

Explanation:

In the qualitative determination of halogen ions, silver nitrate solution(AgNO3) is usually used. Now, various halide ions will give various colours of precipitate when mixed with with silver nitrate. For example, chlorides(Cl-) normally yield a white precipitate, bromides(Br-) normally yield a cream precipitate while iodides (I-) normally yield a yellow precipitate. Thus, all these ions or some of them may be present in the system.

With that being said, if other chlorides are present, they will also yield a white precipitate just like KCl leading to a false positive test for KCl. However, since other halogen ions yield precipitates of different colours, they don't lead to a false test for KCl. Thus, we can exclude other halides from the tendency to give us a false positive test for KCl but not other chlorides.

Explain what makes a covalently bonded molecule polar. Use the molecules of CH4 and CH3F as examples in your explanation.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond determines whether that bond will be polar or not.

If the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond is about 1.7, the bond is ionic. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7, the bond will have a polar covalent character. Lastly, if the electronegativity difference between the bond is less than or equal to 0.4, the covalent bond is non polar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is about 0.4 which corresponds to a nonpolar covalent bond hence the molecule is nonpolar.

The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is about 1.5 indicating a highly polar bond. This gives CH3F an overall dipole moment thereby making the molecule polar.
