MCQ
Fluorine is more electronegative than either boron or phosphorus. What conclusion can be drawn from the fact that $B{F_3}$ has no dipole moment but $P{F_3}$ does
  • A
    $B{F_3}$ is not spherically symmetrical but $P{F_3}$ is
  • B
    $B{F_3}$ molecule must be linear
  • C
    The atomic radius of $P$ is larger than the atomic radius of $B$
  • The $B{F_3}$ molecule must be planar triangular

Answer

Correct option: D.
The $B{F_3}$ molecule must be planar triangular
d
The $BF_3$ molecule must be planar triangular.

$BF _3$ is planar triangular while $PF _3$ is pyramidal.

Two $5$ molal solutions are prepared by dissolving a non-electrolyte, non-volatile solute separately in the solvents $X$ and $Y$. The molecular weights of the solvents are $M_X$ and $M_Y$, respectively where $M_X\, = \frac{3}{4} M_Y$. The relative lowering of  vapour pressure of the solution in $X$ is $''m''$ times that of the solution in $Y$.

A blue whales gain $75\ kg$ of mass per day by feeding on krill. The whale must consume ten times this mass of krill each day. The krill must consume $10.0\ kg$ of diatoms to produce $1.0\ kg$ of krill. Assuming that the mass gain of a whale's life is due to the consumption of carbohydrates $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ , calculate the moles of $CO_2$ that must be used by the diatoms to produce the carbohydrates consumed by a blue whale in a day
