Why is the melting point of hydrogen flourine abnormally higher than other halogen acids.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tems11 [23]3 years ago
8 0

"The other halogens are not as electronegative and so other hydrogen halides cannot form hydrogen bonds between molecules. Only London Forces are formed. - Therefore more energy is required to break the intermolecular forces in HF than the other hydrogen halides and so it has a higher boiling point."

not a hack link, just stating where i got your answer from! -

1 C8H10(l) +21/2O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 5H2O(g), Hcomb= ? Hf for C8H10(l) = +49.0kJ/mol C8H10(l) Use the balanced combustion reaction
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

H_{comb}=-4406kJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the enthalpy of combustion is understood as the energy released when one mole of fuel, in this case octene, is burned in the presence of oxygen and is computed with the enthalpies of formation of the fuel, carbon dioxide and water as shown below (oxygen is circumvented as it is a pure element):

H_{comb}=8*\Delta _fH_{CO_2}+5\Delta _fH_{H_2O}-\Delta _fH_{C_8H_{10}}

Thus, since we already know the enthalpy of combustion of the fuel, for carbon and water we have -393.5 and -241.8 kJ/mol respectively, thereby, the enthalpy of combustion turns out:

H_{comb}=8*(-393.5kJ/mol)+5(-241.8kJ/mol)-49.0kJ/mol\\\\H_{comb}=-4406kJ/mol

Best regards.

Which statement about London’s desperation forces is true
djyliett [7]
It's the weakest of all the intermolecular forces present in chemistry . the London dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles. This force is sometimes called an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction.

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. what volume of hydrogen chloride
Anna71 [15]
The reaction between methane gas and chlorine gas to form hydrogen chloride and carbon tetrachloride, all in their gaseous form can be expressed through the chemical reaction below.

        CH₄ + 4Cl₂ --> 4HCl + CCl₄

Let us assume that all the involved gases behaves ideally such that each mole of the gas is equal to 22.4 L. 

Through proper dimensional analysis, the volume of the produced hydrogen chloride is calculated,
    V(HCl) = (1.69 mL CH₄)(1 L CH₄/ 1000 mL CH₄)(1 mol CH₄/22.4 L CH₄)(4 mols HCl/1 mol CH₄)(22.4 L HCl/1 mol HCl)(1000 mL/1 L)
    

    V(HCl) = 6.76 mL

<em>ANSWER: 6.76 mL</em>
