Answer:

Cl_{2} has boiling point of 238 K

Explanation:

Boiling point depends on different intermolecular force such as molecular wight, dipole-dipole attraction force, hydrogen bonding, ionic attraction force.

Homonuclear diatomic molecules are covalent non-polar molecules and thereby free from dipole-dipole attraction force, hydrogen bonding and ionic interaction forces.

Hence, boiling point of homonuclear diatomic molecules depends solely on molecular weight.

We know, higher the molecular weight of a molecule, higher will be its boiling point. This phenomenon can be realized in terms of increasing london dispersion force with increase in molecular weight.

Decreasing order of molecular weight of halogen molecules :

I_{2} > Br_{2} > Cl_{2} > F_{2}

So, decresing order of boiling point of halogen molecules:

I_{2} > Br_{2} > Cl_{2} > F_{2}

Hence Cl_{2} has boiling point of 238 K

son4ous [18]

Answer : Option 1) The true statement is each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond and the actual structure of format is an average of the two resonance forms.

Explanation : The actual structure of formate is found to be a resonance hybrid of the two resonating forms. The actual structure for formate do not switches back and forth between two resonance forms.

The O atom in the formate molecule with one bond and three lone pairs, in the resonance form left with reference to the attached image, gets changed into O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs.

Again, the O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs on the resonance form left, changed into O atom with one bond and three lone pairs. It concludes that each carbon-oxygen bond is neither a single bond nor a double bond; each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond.

Also, it is seen that each oxygen atom does not have neither a double bond nor a single bond 50% of the time.

What volume of 0.100 M HCl will react completely with 50.00 mL of 0.200 M NaOH?
skelet666 [1.2K]
Equation of reaction
Hcl+NaoH-->Nacl+H2O
1:1
Using the formula CaVa/CbVb=na/nb
Ca(Concentation of acid)= 0.100M
Cb(Concentration of base)=0.200M
Va=?
VB=50.00ml
na=1
nb=1
from the formula
Va= CbVbna/Canb
Va= 0.2*50*1/0.1*1
=10/0.1=100ml
Therefore volume of acid = 100ml
