intermolecular force between the sio2 molecule is greater than that of the co2 molecule....the co2 molecule is in it gaseous state while that of the sio2 is crystalline making the intermolecular force stronger than that of the co2 molecule.

melting pt and boiling pt are directly related to molecular weight thus sio2 having greater molecular weight has greater melting pt

Does water or carbon dioxide have a higher boiling point and why?

Carbon dioxide exists as a gas at stp, and water exists as a liquid. Therefore, CO2 has already passed the boiling point, so water has the higher boiling point.


Will a fuel with a higher boiling point be a better fuel than one with a lower boiling point?

A low boiling point one would be better as it will use less heat and release Co2 into the air. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twitter @TrolPie


Does KCl have a higher boiling point than CO2?

KCl is an ionic substance (strong intermolecular forces) and CO2 is a non-polar covalent substance (weak intermolecular forces)


Why does H2O have a higher point than CO2?

H2O (water) has a higher melting point and boiling point than CO2 because of the hydrogen bonds that exist between the water molecules. The hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces (though they are classified as a weak bond), and help to hold separate water molecules together. Thus, the boiling point of water is higher than carbon dioxide, though they are similar in composition and mass.


Why does CO2 sublime at -72 degrees C while SiO2 has a melting point of 1713 degrees C?

Which of these substances has the lowest boiling point KCl CO2CH2O?

CO2 has the lowest boiling point among these compounds. It is the only one that is a gas at room temperature.


Which is heavier CO2 or air and how does the temperature affect it?

Air is heavier than C02, CO2 has a very low boiling point. It is also a pollutant.


Why N2 has lower boiling point then CO?

NO2 has a higher boiling point than CO2 because the nitrogen radii is larger than carbon. The bigger the atom the more intermolecular force that is created...this requires more energy to break causing a higher boiling point.

What is obtained by heating CaCO3 with SiO2?

By heating CaCO3 with SiO2, calcium silicate (Ca2SiO4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are obtained.


How do you determine which molecule has a higher boiling point?

Compounds with Hydrogen bonds (Hydrogen bonded to N,O or F) will tend to have stronger bonds thus a higher BP, then the compounds with a stronger polarity determine bond strength, and finally dispersion forces (Molecular mass) So in conclusion if you have ex. HF and CO2 HF has a higher BP because it has a stronger bond than CO2 (it has a hydrogen bond, while CO2's strongest bond is a polar bond)


Which member of of theawe pairs of substances would you expect to have a higher boiling point a o2 or n2 b so2 or CO2 c hf or hi?

O2, SO2, HF.. im positive, just did a webassign if you know what that is but its right...
