Which of the following substances has the highest melting point?

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 (<em>n</em>-pentane, CH3-[CH2]3-CH3) has a melting point of -129.8 °C; the straight-chain isomer of nonane (<em>n-</em>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 <em>higher </em>that the melting point of <em>n</em>-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.

Which statement is true about a reaction represented by a chemical equation that shows energy as a reactant?
vovikov84 [41]
A. It absorbs energy.
reactants are located on the left side of the equation, meaning energy among with other reactants were needed to get the reaction going, so it absorbed energy, which is also the endothermic process. The opposite of that would be having energy on the right side with the products which means that the reaction would've released energy which is the exothermic process. Hope this helps!

Flura [38]

Answer:

Combining the two clear colorless liquids is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Because a different solid substance is formed. Tell students that a precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms when two solutions are combined and react chemically. Insoluble means that the solid will not dissolve.

Lead(II) nitrate and ammonium iodide react to form lead(II) iodide and ammonium nitrate according to the reaction Pb(NO3)2(aq)+2
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a) volume of ammonium iodide required =349 mL

b) the moles of lead iodide formed = 0.0436 mol

Explanation:

The reaction is:

Pb(NO_{3})_{2}+2NH_{4}I -->PbI_{2}+2NH_{4}NO_{3}

It shows that one mole of lead nitrate will react with two moles of ammonium iodide to give one mole of lead iodide.

Let us calculate the moles of lead nitrate taken in the solution.

Moles=molarityX volume (L)

Moles of lead nitrate = 0.360 X 0.121 =0.0436 mol

the moles of ammonium iodide required = 2 X0.0436 = 0.0872 mol

The volume of ammonium iodide required will be:

volume=\frac{moles}{molarity}=\frac{0.0872}{0.250}=0.349L=349mL

the moles of lead iodide formed = moles of lead nitrate taken = 0.0436 mol
