Arrange the molecules in order from strongest intermolecular force to weakest.
1 answer:
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:
150
Explanation:
- C₄H₂OH + 6O2 → 4CO2 + 5H₂O
We can <u>find the equivalent number of O₂ molecules for 100 molecules of CO₂</u> using a <em>conversion factor containing the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>, as follows:
- 100 molecules CO₂ *
= 150 molecules O₂
150 molecules of O₂ would produce 100 molecules of CO₂.
