Answer:
Mass of heptane = 102g
Vapor pressure of heptane = 454mmHg
Molar mass of heptane = 100.21
No of mole of heptane = mass/molar mass = 102/100.21
No of mole of heptane = 1.0179
Therefore the partial pressure of heptane = no of mole heptane *Vapor pressure of heptane
Partial pressure of heptane = 1.0179*454mmHg
Partial pressure of heptane = 462.1096 = 462mmHg
the partial pressure of heptane vapor above this solution = 462mmHg
Boiling point of a compound is determined by the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules present in it. Stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction, higher will be the boiling point.
Ionic compounds show ion-ion interactions which are the strongest among all. Ion-dipole interactions are shown when ionic solutes are dissolved in polar solvents. Hydrogen bonding is also a relatively stronger force that is present between H atom and an electronegative atom like F, O and N(
) . All polar molecules show dipole-dipole interaction (
and 
). Dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces due to momentary dipoles between electron clouds and nucleus.
Among the given compounds, 
has dispersion forces as the major intermolecular forces of attraction. So they they exhibit the weakest IMF, hence have the lowest boiling point.
Assuming this is a true or false question, the answer would be True
D is just straight up false, if I were to take a stab at it, the only one that’s seems logical to me B. “The ability of atoms to combine in unlimited ways”
