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

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.

According to markovnikov's rule of the electrophilic addition to an alkene, the electrophile, usually a proton, is more likely to add to the less-substituted carbon in a double bond.

With additional substituents present in this configuration, the intermediate carbocation is stabilised by being located on the more-substituted carbon.

The nucleophile will then end up in a double bond on the more-substituted carbon in a reaction that follows Markovnikov's rule.The outcome of some addition reactions is described by Markovnikov's rule or Markownikoff's rule in organic chemistry. Vladimir Markovnikov, a Russian scientist, created the rule in 1870.

The density of water is 1 g/cm3. brent used the following method to convert 1 g/cm3 to kg/m3.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

a) The wrong denominator for the equivalent fraction of kilograms to grams

b) The use of the scale factor of length rather than the scale factor of volume for the equivalent fraction of cubic centimeters to cubic meters

c) The arrival at the correct 1000 kg/m³ rather than 0.1 g/m³ based on the expression on the left of the equation

The density of water = 1 g/cm³

The given equation is presented as follows;

1 g/cm³ × 1 kg/(1000 kg) × 100 cm³/(1 m³) = 1000 kg/m³

The error in the conversion method are;

a) The conversion, 1 kg/(1,000 kg) has an error, the correct conversion is (1 kg)/1,000 g)

b) The volume conversion error, 100 cm³/(1 m³), the correct volume conversion is (100 cm)³/(1 m³) = 1,000,000 cm³/(1 m³)

c) The right of the equal to sign error; using the left side expression only, the (wrong) answer is 0.1 g/m³

The correct equation is presented as follows;

1 g/cm³ × 1 kg/(1000 g) × 1,000,000 cm³/(1 m³) = 1000 kg/m³

Explanation: hope this help.
