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.

Which of the following statements are true about chemical substances and processes? Check all that apply.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Chemical processes can be types of biological processes.

Chemical substances can be found in the bloodstream.

Chemical processes work to maintain homeostasis.

Explanation:

The listed three choices are true statements about chemical processes. Chemical processes brings about chemical change and they occur in biological organisms.

Some examples of chemical processes in organisms is metabolism of food.

Also, chemical processes can help regulate the internal environment of an organism. It is known that chemical reactions at certain times acts a thermoregulators in the body.

Examples of chemical substances in the body are glucose, amino acid, proteins etc.

A sample of copper absorbs 4.31E+1 kJ of heat, resulting in a temperature rise of 6.71E+1 °C. Determine the mass (in kg) of the
olga2289 [7]

Answer: 1.67 kg

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed=4.31\times 10^1kJ = 43100J   (1kJ=1000J)

m= mass of substance = ?

c = specific heat capacity = 0.385J/g^0C

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=6.71\times 10^1^0C=67.1^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

43100J=m\times 0.385J/g^0C\times 67.1^0C

m=1670g=1.67kg   (1kg=1000g)

Thus the mass (in kg) of the copper sample is 1.67
