Which of the following substances has the highest melting point?

Chemistry

Aleksandr [31]3 years ago
5 0

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.

What is the empirical formula of propene CH3 CH2 CH2​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

<u>CH</u>

Explanation:

Molecular formula of propene : <u>C₃H₆</u>

Take the HCF of carbon and hydrogen atoms :

  • 3 = 3
  • 6 = 2 x 3

Then, we can write the formula as :

  • 3CH
  • This means there are 3 moles present

Empirical Formula :

  • Molecular Formula / No. of moles
  • C₃H₆ / 3
  • <u>CH</u>

<u></u>

The empirical formula of propene is <u>CH</u>
