<h3>Answer:</h3>
The lowest boiling point is of n-Butane because it only experiences London Dispersion Forces between molecules.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Lets take start with the melting point of both compounds.
n-Butane = - 140 °C
Trimethylamine = - 117 °C
Intermolecular Forces in n-Butane:
As we know n-Butane is made up of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms only bonded via single covalent bonds. The electronegativity difference between C and C atoms is zero while, that between C and H atoms is 0.35 which is less than 0.4. Hence, the bonds in n-Butane are purely non polar in nature. Therefore, only London Dispersion Forces are found in n-Butane which are considered as the weakest intermolecular interactions.
Intermolecular Forces in Trimethylamine:
Trimethylamine (a tertiary amine) is made up of Nitrogen, Carbon and Hydrogen atoms bonded via single covalent bonds. The electronegativity difference between N and C atoms is 0.49 which is greater than 0.4. Hence, the C-N bond is polar in nature. Therefore, Dipole-Dipole interactions will be formed along with London Dispersion Forces which are stronger than Dispersion Forces. Therefore, due to Dipole-Dipole interactions Trimethylamine will have greater melting point than n-Butane.
<h2>question:How many significant figures are in 100.3</h2>
Answer:4
It would of been nice if you were to post your question so others could actually answer it.
Answer:
B. oxidation; reduction
Explanation:
A voltaic cell is electro-chemical cell in which chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
1. This cell utilizes chemical reaction to generate electric.\
2. there two electrode anode and cathode
3. At Anode oxidation occurs
4. At cathode reduction occurs
5. chemical is present in the cell which is electrolyte which completes the circuit of the voltaic cell.
- oxidation is the process in which there is loss of electrons
- Reduction is the process in which there is gain of electrons
___________________________________________________
Based on above discussion
At anode oxidation takes place
At cathode reduction takes place.
Hence, correct option is B. oxidation; reduction
