Characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices. (1) Water's boiling point is much higher than expected, based on comparison with other substances, because of hydrogen bonding. (2) In the gaseous state, disruptive forces and cohesive forces are of about the same magnitude. (3) As liquid surface area increases, the rate of evaporation of a liquid increases.

Answer :

Histrionicusgo

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1 and 3 are true.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds require a lot of energy to be broken as these bonds are relatively strong intermolecular forces which makes the boiling point of liquid like water very high, as it requires a lot of heat to break the intermolecular bonds holding the water molecules together.

An increase in the surface area of the liquid also increases the rate of evaporation as it takes place among the molecules of the liquid on the surface.
