Explanation:

Combustion of a compound is the reaction with oxygen , hence , the process of combustion is an oxidation reaction.

The carbohydrates contain more amount of oxygen as compared to the fats ,

Hence ,

carbohydrates , have a lot of oxygen contents , are are already partially oxidized , but fats have lower oxygen content .

Therefore ,

The partially oxidized carbohydrates are very difficult to oxidized in comparison to fats .

Given the molecules diethyl ether (CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃) and 1-butanol (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH), __________ has the higher boiling point mainly
MArishka [77]

Answer:

1-butanol has higher boiling point mainly due to presence of hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

Diethyl ether is a polar aprotic molecule due to presence of polar C-O-C moiety. Hence only dipole-dipole intermolecular force exist between diethyl ether molecules.

1-butanol is a polar protic molecule due to presence of C-OH moiety. Therefore dipole-dipole force along with hydrogen bonding exist between 1-butanol molecules.

So, intermolecular force is higher in 1-butanol as compared to diethyl ether. Hence more temperature is required to break intermolecular forces of 1-butanol to boil as compared to diethyl ether.

So, 1-butanol has higher boiling point mainly due to presence of hydrogen bonding.

What happens when you increase the temperature of a reaction?
aalyn [17]
D. More collisions occur and the time required for the reaction decreases
This happens because according to collision theory, when energy (in this case, thermal energy) is applied to particles, they move/vibrate more quickly.
