A Celsius thermometer with a range of -10°C cannot be used to determine when the soft ball stage is reached in the candy mixture.  

Temperature is most commonly measured with a thermometer that has two different scales: Fahrenheit and Celsius. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C on the Celsius scale and freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F on the Fahrenheit scale.

Temperature of 236°F corresponds to 113.3°C. Now a Celsius scale has a maximum of 100°C on the thermometer. Hence a Celsius thermometer cannot be used to measure a temperature that corresponds to 236°F.

CH4 and CH3CH2CH3 have the lowest boiling points because they experience only \rm CH_4 and \rm CH_3CH_2CH_3 have the lowest boil
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Dispersion forces

Relative molecular mass

Explanation:

Alkanes experience only dispersion forces. Dispersion forces increase with increasevin the relative molecular mass of the compounds. Hence a higher relative molecular mass implies greater dispersion forces and a greater boiling point.

The theory of plate tectonics is supported
frutty [35]
Alfred Wegner was the first person to propose the idea that all seven continents were all one supercontinent called "Pangea". Everyone considered his theory to be a joke until he found evidence to back up his theory. His evidence was the matching mountain ranges, fossils, certain species, and more over different continents. Also that all the seven continents fit together like puzzle pieces. I hope this helps! :)
