Alkali metals have only one valence electron and so have low binding energy to the metallic crystal lattice. ... A lower amount of energy needed to break a bond means a lower melting/boiling point.
Moving from Ethanol through Propanol to Butanol the physical properties like boiling points, surface tension and viscosity increases because of the increases in intermolecular interactions between the molecules of given compounds.
Explanation:
Ethanol, propanol and butanol all have hydroxyl groups in common, means all have hydrogen bond intractions between their molecules. So, taking the hydrogen bonding interaction constant we are left with only the difference in the number of carbon atoms.
Butanol has the greatest physical properties than other two because it has four carbon atom chain. So, as we know the London Dispersion forces or Van der Waal forces increases with increase in molecular size and chain length of hydrocarbon.
Therefore, the strength of London forces is greater in butanol than other two while ethanol has the smallest chain comparatively hence, lowest physical properties.
5.512 litres is the volume of 15.2 grams of sulphur dioxide gas at STP.
Explanation:
Data given:
mass of sulphur dioxide = 15.2 grams
conditions is at STP whech means volume = 22.4 litres
atomic mass of sulphur dioxide = 64.06 grams/mole
Number of moles is calculated as:
number of moles = 
Putting the values in the equation:
number of moles = 
= 0.23 moles
Assuming that sulphur dioxide behaves as an ideal gas, we can calculate the volume as:
When 1 mole of sulphur dioxide occupies 22.4 litres at STP
Then 0.23 moles of sulphur dioxide occupies 22.4 x 0.23
= 5.152 litres is the volume.
