Arrange the molecules in order from strongest intermolecular force to weakest.

Chemistry

Answer:- C_4H_1_0>C_3H_8>C_2H_6>CH_4

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 .

What are two things that you observed when you heated the mixture of tin and nitric acid over the Bunsen burner in the virtual l
Rus_ich [418]
1. The reaction for this would be:

Sn + 4 HNO₃ →  SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.

2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.
