Answer:-
Explanations:- Alkanes are non polar molecules as these only have carbons and hydrogens. Electron negativity difference of C and H is very low and it makes them non polar. These have weaker London dispersion forces.
The forces of attraction becomes stronger in alkanes as the number of carbon increases because the surface area as well as molecular weight of the alkanes increases with an increase in number of carbons.
Butane has four carbons, propane has three carbons, ethane has two and methane has only one carbon, So, the strongest to weakest order of inter molecular forces is butane > propane > ethane > methane .
Answer:
empirical formula:
2 g H
32.7 g S
65.3 g O
Explanation:
Like the problem said, the first thing we can do is calculate the mass of each of the 3 elements in a 100-gram sample:
- 2.00% * 100g = 2 g H
- 32.7% * 100g = 32.7 g S
- 65.3% * 100g = 65.3 g O
Now we need to find the empirical formula from these. To do so, convert all of those masses into moles by using the molar mass for each element:
- the molar mass of H is 1.01 g/mol
- the molar mass of S is 32.06 g/mol
- the molar mass of O is 16 g/mol
2 g H ÷ 1.01 g/mol = 1.98 mol H
32.7 g S ÷ 32.06 g/mol = 1.02 mol S
65.3 g O ÷ 16 g/mol = 4.08 mol O
Our ratio of H : S : O is now:
1.98 mol : 1.02 mol : 4.08 mol
Divide them all by the smallest number, which is 1.02:
1.98/1.02 : 1.02/1.02 : 4.08/1.02
1.94 : 1 : 4
1.94 ≈ 2
So:
2 : 1 : 4
Thus, the empirical formula is: .
