The hydrogen halides (HF, HCl, HBr, and HI) are all polar molecules. The strength of the acid each forms in water is based on which of the following? two of these the size of the molecule the strength of the bond the polarity of the molecule
two of these
Several liquids are compared by adding them to a series of 50-mL graduated cylinders, then dropping a steel ball of uniform size and mass into each. The time required for the ball to reach the bottom of the cylinder is noted. This is a method used to compare the differences in a property of liquids kown as
viscosity.
Consider the dissociation of hydrogen: H2(g) = 2H(g) One would expect that this reaction: (note: at equilibrium)
will be spontaneous at high temperatures
