Answer:

-85 °C

Explanation:

O and S are in the same group( Group 16). Since S is below O it's atomic mass is higher than O. So molar mass of H2S is higher than H2O. The strength of Vanderwaal Interactions ( London dispersion forces) increases when the molar mass increases. However, only H2O can form H bonds with each other. This is because electronegativity of O is higher than S and therefore H in H2O has a higher partial positive charge than H of H2S.

H bond dominate among these 2 types of forces so the strength of attractions between molecules is higher in H2O than H2S. Therefore more energy should be supplied for H2O to break inter

molecular forces and convert from solid to liquid state than H2S. So mpt of H2O must be higher than that of H2S.

Answer:

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction. When forces are balanced, there is no change in motion. In one of your situations in the last section, you pushed or pulled on an object from opposite directions but with the same force. You observed that the object did not move.

What is the oxidizing agent in the reaction 2MnO4-(aq) 10I-(aq) 16H (aq) ---> 2Mn2 (aq) 5I2(aq) 8H2O(l)
faltersainse [42]

Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.

2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.

oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.

MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because

On the reactants side

Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7

Oxidation number of Cl- is -1

On the products side

Oxidation number of Mn is +2

While oxidation number of Cl is zero

Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
