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

An object has a mass of 4 grams and a volume of 2 cm^3.what is the density of the object?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

2.0 grams per cubic centimeter

Explanation:

(You can refer to the DMV triangle to help you solve this!)

Density = Mass/Volume

Density = 4.0g/2.0cm3

Density = 2.0g/cm3

Hope this helps!!!

X-rays had a frequency of about 3x10^18 determine it's wavelength (in nm) and energy per photon
Serggg [28]

Answer:

E = 19.89×10⁻¹⁶ J

λ = 1×10⁻¹ nm

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of xray = 3×10¹⁸ Hz

Wavelength of xray = ?

Energy of xray = ?

Solution:

speed of wave = wavelength × frequency

speed = 3×10⁸ m/s

3×10⁸ m/s  = λ ×3×10¹⁸ s⁻¹

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s  / 3×10¹⁸ s⁻¹

λ = 1×10⁻¹⁰m

m to nm:

λ = 1×10⁻¹⁰m×10⁹

λ = 1×10⁻¹ nm

Energy of x-ray:

E = h.f

h = plancks constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

by putting values,

E = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×3×10¹⁸ s⁻ ¹

E = 19.89×10⁻¹⁶ J

C5H6 reacts with itself to form C10H12 according to the following process
swat32
When carbon compounds react with themselves to form a larger molecule the process is called polymerization. Specifically addition polymerization. sometimes molecules containing containing carbon to carbon double bonds can join together to form longer chains. The double bond is broken and the electrons in it join to neighboring molecules.
