If the boiling point of H 2 O is 373   K , and the boiling point of H 2 S will be :

If the boiling point of H2O is 373 K, and  the boiling point of H2S will be :
  1. less than 300 K
  2. equal to 373 K
  3. more than 373 K
  4. greater than 300 K but less than 373 K

Solution

At room temperature water is liquid and has boiling points 373 K due to hydrogen bonding. Where as H2S is gas and it has no hydrogen bonding. Hence boiling point of H2S is less than 300 K [Boiling point of H2S is -60 °C]
