Which of the following substances has the highest melting point?

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

How many energy levels contain electrons in an atom of zirconium (Zr)?
ad-work [718]
<h3>Answer: five cause </h3>

The number of energy levels of zirconium is 5, and I know this because it is located in family five. Families are the rows across on the periodic table. The family number is always equal to the number of energy levels.Zirconium: properties of free atoms. Zirconium atoms have 40 electrons and the shell structure is 2.8.

Hope this helps have a awesome day/night✨

How many moles of AgNO3 are present in 1.50 L of a 0.050 M solution?
elixir [45]
To calculate the moles of AgNO3 in a solution, we need to know the volume and concentration of the solution. 
Moles of AgNO3 = Volume of AgNO3 solution (L) * concentration of AgNO3 solution (M or mole/L) = 1.50 L * 0.050 M = 0.075 mole.

So 0.075 moles of AgNO3 are present in 1.50 L of a 0.050 M solution.

Determine a massa, em kg, de um material que está contida em um volume de 18L. Sabe-se que a densidade do material é de 0,9 g/cm
suter [353]
The question in English is "<span>Determine the mass, in kg, of a material that is contained in a volume of 18L. It is known that the material density is 0.9 g/cm 3"

Answer: 
</span>
We can use a simple equation to solve this problem. <span>
    d = m/v</span><span>

<span>Where </span>d <span>is the density, </span>m <span>is the mass and </span>v is the volume.

d = </span>0.9<span> g/cm³
m = ?
v = </span>18 L = 18 x 10³ cm³<span>

By applying the equation,
<span>    0.9 g/cm³ = m / </span></span>18 x 10³ cm³<span>
                  m = 0.9 g/cm³ x </span>18 x 10³ cm³<span> 
<span>                  </span>m = 16200 g
                  m = 16.2 kg

Hence, the mass of 18 L of material is 16.2 kg.</span>
