Chemistry Question on Partial pressure
The correct order of melting points of hydrides of group 16 elements is:
A
H2S<H2Se<H2Te<H2O
B
H2O<H2S<H2Se<H2Te
C
H2S<H2Te<H2Se<H2O
D
H2Se<H2S<H2Te<H2O
Answer
H2S<H2Se<H2Te<H2O
Explanation
Solution
Hydride | M.P. |
---|---|
H2O | 273 K |
H2S | 188 K |
H2Se | 208 K |
H2Te | 222 K |
So the correct order of melting points of hydrides of group 16 elements is:H2S<H2Se<H2Te<H2O
