Why do densities of haloalkanes decrease when the size of alkyl group increases?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Verizon [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

Your argument makes sense. For example, the density of C₅H₁₂ is about 0.63 g/mL, and it increases gradually to a limit of about 0.83 g/mL.  

With the lower alkyl halides, the halogen atom is the major contributor to the mass of the molecule. The density of chloromethane is 2.2 g/mL.

As you increase the number of C atoms, the Cl atom becomes a smaller part of the molecule. The alkyl halide becomes more like an alkane.

By the time you have reached four C atoms, the density has reached a limiting value of about 0.89 g/mL.

Based on location in the periodic table, which element has chemical properties that are most similar to iodine
Ymorist [56]

Based on location in the periodic table, fluorine (F) has chemical properties that are most similar to iodine.

In the periodic table, elements are classified in groups and periods. The elements in the same group are chemically similar and they have the same number of valence electrons. Elements in the same period have the same highest energy level.

Hence, when looking for an element that is most chemically similar to iodine, we have to consider the element that is in the same group with iodine.

Both fluorine are iodine are both in group 17 hence, fluorine is most chemically similar to iodine.

What is the limiting reactant in a reaction where 10.0 mol of iron is treated with 12.0 mol of bromine? The product that forms i
hammer [34]

<u>Answer:</u> The limiting reagent in the reaction is bromine.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

Given values:

Moles of iron = 10.0 moles

Moles of bromine = 12.0 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of iron and bromine follows:

2Fe+3Br_2\rightarrow 2FeBr_3

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 3 moles of bromine reacts with 2 moles of iron

So, 12.0 moles of bromine will react with = \frac{2}{3}\times 12.0=8moles of iron

As the given amount of iron is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, bromine is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

Thus, the limiting reagent in the reaction is bromine.

scandium47 has a half-life of 35s. suppose you have a 45g sample of scadium 47 how much of the sample remains unchanged after 14
Mars2501 [29]

 The much  of the sample that would remain  unchanged  after 140 seconds is 2.813 g

Explanation

Half life  is time taken for the quantity  to reduce  to half its original value.

if the half life  for Scandium  is 35 sec, then the number  of half life in 140 seconds

=140 sec/ 35 s = 4 half life

Therefore 45 g after first half life = 45 x1/2 =22.5 g

               22.5 g after second half life = 22.5 x 1/2 =11.25 g

            11.25 g after third half life = 11.25 x 1/2 = 5.625 g

             5.625 after  fourth half life = 5.625 x 1/2 = 2.813

therefore 2.813 g  of Scandium 47 remains  unchanged.

How is George Washington and Geoge Washington different
faltersainse [42]

If you are taking about George Washington and George Washington Carver then the difference is one was a president and army leader (George Washington) while the other George Washington Carver was an inventor and botanist that is very well known for his inventions with peanuts. If not one is spelled with an r (George) and the other without (Geoge).
