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:- The Ka for the acid is .
Solution:- In general, monoprotic acid could be represented by HA. The dissociation equation for the ionization of HA is written as:
HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)
Now, we make the ice table for this equation as:
HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)
I 0.25 0 0
C -X +X +X
E (0.25 - X) X X
where, I stands for initial concentration, C stands for change in concentration and E stands for equilibrium concentration.
X is the change in concentration and from ice table it's same as the concentration of hydrogen ion that is calculated from given pH.
Where, Ka is the acid ionization constant. Let's plug in the values.
Let's calculate the value of X first using the equation:
[/tex]
on taking antilog ob above equation we get:
= 0.00195
So, X = 0.001195
Let's plug in this value of X in the equation:-
So, the value of Ka for butyric acid is .
