MCQ
$HCl$ is a gas, but $HF$ is a low boiling liquid. This is because
- A$H - F$ bond is strong
- B$H - F$ bond is weak
- ✓The molecules aggregate because of hydrogen bonding in $HF$
- D$HF$ is a weak acid
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
The molecules aggregate because of hydrogen bonding in $HF$
c
$H - F$ is a liquid at room temperature while $HCl$ is a gas. This is due to extensive $H$-bonding in $H$ - $F$ which increases its boiling point.

The conductance of a $0.0015 \mathrm{M}$ aqueous solution of a weak monobasic acid was determined by using a conductivity cell consisting of platinized $\mathrm{Pt}$ electrodes. The distance between the electrodes is $120 \mathrm{~cm}$ with an area of cross section of $1 \mathrm{~cm}^2$. The conductance of this solution was found to be $5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~S}$. The $\mathrm{pH}$ of the solution is $4$ . The value of limiting molar conductivity $\left(\Lambda_{\mathrm{m}}^0\right)$ of this weak monobasic acid in aqueous solution is $\mathrm{Z} \times 10^2 \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~cm}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.
