The molecular weight of H2S is more than...

The molecular weight of `H_2S` is more than that of `H_2O, but H_2S` is a gas and `H_2O` is a liquid. Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why \( H_2S \) is a gas while \( H_2O \) is a liquid, despite \( H_2S \) having a higher molecular weight, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step 1: Compare Molecular Weights - The molecular weight of \( H_2S \) is calculated as follows: - Hydrogen (H) has a molecular weight of approximately 1 g/mol, and there are 2 hydrogen atoms. - Sulfur (S) has a molecular weight of approximately 32 g/mol. - Therefore, the molecular weight of \( H_2S \) = \( 2 \times 1 + 32 = 34 \) g/mol. ...
