Answer:
2.42L
Explanation:
Given parameters:
V₁ = 1.8L
T₁ = 293K
P₁ = 101.3kPa
P₂ = 67.6kPa
T₂ = 263K
Unknown:
V₂ = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we are going to use the combined gas law to find the final volume of the gas. The combined gas law expression combines the equation of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Avogadro's law;

All the units are in the appropriate form. We just substitute and solve for the unknown;
101.3 x 1.8 / 293 = 67.6 x V₂ / 263
V₂ = 2.42L
Answer:
Ethane would have a higher boiling point.
Explanation:
In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.
Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.
I hope it helps!
