I believe the answer you are looking for is : SHORT
Answer:
it is because solid is.in a fixed shape so it is easier to separate a solid from another solid compared to a liquid from another liquid
Answer:
The volume is
<h2>180 mL</h2>
Explanation:
In order to solve for the volume we use the formula for Boyle's law which is
<h3>

</h3>
where
P1 is the initial pressure
V1 is the initial volume
P2 is the final pressure
V2 is the final volume
Since we are finding the final volume we are finding V2
Making V2 the subject we have
<h3>

</h3>
From the question
P1 = 300 mmHg
V1 = 300 mL
P2 = 500 mmHg
Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the final volume obtained
That's
<h3>

</h3>
We have the final answer as
<h3>180 mL</h3>
Hope this helps you
<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.
Look at the periodic table (Boron has 3) and count up from there
