Compare the boiling points of alcohol, ethers and alkanes and explain one reason for the difference

Chemistry

Alcohols have higher boiling points than do ethers and alkanes of similar molar masses.

<h3>What is meant by Boiling Point ?</h3>

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid is called the boiling point of the substance.

Approximately boiling point of Ethanol: 78.4°C, ether: 34.6°C, ethanes: 68°C

The reason for the difference is that it takes more energy to separate alcohol molecules then it does to separate alkane molecules and ether molecules.

The OH group in  alcohol allows molecules to engage in hydrogen bonding.

Therefore Boiling point are in the order ;

Alcohol > alkane > ethers

26 grams of CO2 to moles
neonofarm [45]
First, find out how many grams are in one mole of CO2(the two oxygen atoms means you need to multiply oxygen’s amu by 2,then add whatever carbon’s amu is to that). Then divide 26 grams by that number and that will be your moles. There are only two significant figures, so round your answer correctly.

Compute 4.659×104−2.14×104. Round the answer appropriately.
antiseptic1488 [7]
<span>The answer is 2.519 × 10^4. Use the distributive property: a × x + b × x = (a + b) × x. If a = 4.659, b = 2.14, and x = 10^4, then 4.659 × 10^4 − 2.14 × 10^4 = (4.659 - 2.14) × 10^4. Now, subtract numbers in parenthesis: 4.659 × 10^4 − 2.14 × 10^4 = (4.659 - 2.14) × 10^4 = 2.519 × 10^4.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>
