Nonane (b) has the highest melting point.

-----------------------------

A caveat: I'm assuming that we're dealing with the straight-chain isomers of these alkanes (specifically pentane and nonane). The straight-chain isomer of pentane (n-pentane, CH3-[CH2]3-CH3) has a melting point of -129.8 °C; the straight-chain isomer of nonane (n-nonane, CH3-[CH2]7-CH3) has a melting point of -53.5 °C. The pattern holds as you go down (or up): The more carbon atoms, the higher the melting point. So, in decreasing order of melting points here, you'd have the following: nonane > pentane > butane > ethane.

However, one structural isomer of pentane, neopentane, has a melting point of -16.4 °C, which is higher that the melting point of n-nonane despite neopentane having the same molecular formula as its straight-chain isomer. Of course, you're not to blame for coming up with this question; this is just some extra info to keep in mind.

Isopropyl alcohol is mixed with water to produce a 35.0 % (v/v) alcohol solution. How many milliliters of each component are pre

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

229.25 mL of isopropyl alcohol

425.75 mL of water

Explanation:

Knowing that the solution have a 35.0 % (v/v) isopropyl alcohol in water, we can calculate the volume of each component as following.

volume of isopropyl alcohol = (35/100) × solution volume

volume of isopropyl alcohol = 0.35 × 655 mL = 229.25 mL

Now, knowing the volume of isopropyl alcohol we can determine the volume of water.

volume of the solution = volume of isopropyl alcohol + volume of water

volume of water = volume of the solution - volume of isopropyl alcohol

volume of water = 655 mL - 229.25 mL = 425.75 mL

Express the concentration of a 0.0320 M aqueous solution of fluoride, F−, in mass percentage and in parts per million (ppm). Ass

denis23 [38]

Answer:

607 ppm

Explanation:

In this case we can start with the ppm formula:

$ppm=\frac{mg~of~solute}{Litters~of~solution}$

If we have a solution of 0.0320 M, we can say that in 1 L we have 0.032 mol of $F^-$ , because the molarity formula is:

$M=\frac{mol}{L}$

In other words:

$0.0320~M=\frac{mol}{1~L}$

$mol=0.032~M*1~L=0.032~mol$

$1~L~of~Solution=0.0320~mol~of~solute$

If we use the atomic mass of $F$ (19 g/mol) we can convert from mol to g:

$0.0320~mol~F^-\frac{19~g~F^-}{1~mol~F^-}~=~0.607~g$

Now we can convert from g to mg (1 g= 1000 mg), so:

$0.607~g\frac{1000~mg}{1~g}=607~mg$

Finally we can divide by 1 L to find the ppm:

$ppm=\frac{607~mg}{1~L}=~607~ppm$

We will have a concentration of 607 ppm.

I hope it helps!

Answer:

It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) and usually contains other minerals, such as clay minerals, micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides, and graphite.

Explanation:

Marble can be otherwise called metamorphic rock which is formed as a result of heat application on limestone and pressure of metamorphism. It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) and usually contains other minerals, such as clay minerals, micas, quartz, pyrite, iron oxides, and graphite.
