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

Sophie [7]

Answer:

[CO2] > [N2] > [He]

Explanation:

The relative concentration of CO2, N2 and He depends on the solubility of each gas in water. The more soluble in water a gas is, the greater its concentration in aqueous solution.

Among the gases listed, CO2 is most soluble in water hence it is expected to have the greatest concentration in solution followed by N2. Helium gas is insoluble in water hence it has the least concentration in the aqueous solution.

You should know the location of safety equipment
s2008m [1.1K]
I would say you should use or test it once a week to ensure it is working properly in an active laboratory since it is a workplace with significant chemical hazards so it would give peace of mind to know on a quite regular basis that it can be relied on in case of an emergency like an eye flush for example.

Gwar [14]

Answer:b. gravitational, kinetic, thermal

Explanation:

The above explains the mechanism of the core forming process on earth/planet.

It is believed that this process might has contributed significantly to a planet's early stages heating. The time when these core-forming event happened is thought to have been mainly completed very early when Earth was young . The type of this event rather than it being seen as a single catastrophic event, it is likely to have been as a result of contractions on the earth severally.

The addition of partially differentiated material from another giant impact the rate of this spasm , and it increases each time the planet's mass is to increased.

This is a little on the history of planetary evolution.

Which law states that the volume and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas are directly proportional under constant pr
Delvig [45]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: Charle's Law.

<h2>Why?</h2>

The law that states that the volume and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas (ideal gas) are proportional under constant pressure is the Charle's Law, also known as the law of volumes.

The law describes how a gas kept under constant pressure tends to expand when the temperature increases and it's described by the following equation:

\frac{V}{T}=k

Where,

V=Volume\\T=Temperature\\k=constant

Also, to describe the relationship between two differents volumes at different temperatures, we have:

\frac{V_{i}}{T_{i}}=\frac{V_{f}}{T_{f}}

Where,

V_{i}=InitialVolume\\T_{i}=InitialTemperature\\V_{f}=FinalVolume\\T_{f}=FinalTemperature

Have a nice day!
