Moving from Ethanol through Propanol to Butanol the physical properties like boiling points, surface tension and viscosity increases because of the increases in intermolecular interactions between the molecules of given compounds.

Explanation:
                   Ethanol, propanol and butanol all have hydroxyl groups in common, means all have hydrogen bond intractions between their molecules. So, taking the hydrogen bonding interaction constant we are left with only the difference in the number of carbon atoms.
                    Butanol has the greatest physical properties than other two because it has four carbon atom chain. So, as we know the London Dispersion forces or Van der Waal forces increases with increase in molecular size and chain length of hydrocarbon.
                    Therefore, the strength of London forces is greater in butanol than other two while ethanol has the smallest chain comparatively hence, lowest physical properties.

What acids in alcohol make it evaporate
fgiga [73]

The acids found in alcohol that make it evaporate are called organic acids.

An organic acid is an organic compound that has acidic properties. There are two types: one has a carboxyl (COOH) group, and the other type has a phenol group.

The most common organic acids are those with a carboxyl group and include acetic acid, formic acid, lactic acid and all fatty acids.  Perfumes  include organic acid in their composition to make them volatile. Volatile substances evaporate easily, and this is important for perfumes. They need to dissipate easily into the surrounding environment and spread their good smell.

A researcher selects three regions X, Y, and Z, and records the types of discharge that enter the regions’ rivers.
elixir [45]

Region Z should be monitored more closely to avoid health issues.

<h3>Why region Z should be monitored?</h3>

Region Z should be monitored more closely to avoid potential health issues because region Z produces waste from chemical plants which are dangerous for our water and environment so we can conclude that Region Z should be monitored more closely in order to avoid health issues.

I wanted known how many of the reaction below is energy released
Tema [17]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

In two reactions energy is released.

1) C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂    →    6H₂O + 6CO₂ + heat

It is cellular respiration reaction.It involves the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

2) 2H₂ + O₂   →    2H₂O  ΔH = -486 kj/mol

The given reaction is formation of water. In this reaction oxygen and hydrogen react to form water and 486 kj/mol is also released.

The reaction in which heat is released is called exothermic reaction.

Exothermic reaction:

The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.

For example:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂   →  CO₂

ΔH = -393 Kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + O₂   →  CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol

Endothermic reactions:

The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.

For example:

C + H₂O   →  CO  + H₂

ΔH = +131 kj/mol

it can be written as,

C +  H₂O  + 131 kj/mol  →  CO  + H₂
