Which of the following compounds is a gas at room temperature? A : CH3CH2OH B : CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 C : CH3CH2CH3 D : HOCH2CH2
1 answer:
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Molecules with the stronger intermolecular forces are pulled tightly together to form solid at higher temperatures and that's why the freezing point is higher.
Also, molecules with the stronger intermolecular force have greater interaction between the molecules and thus on heating do not boil easily and have high boiling point also.
Thus, melting point and boiling point increases with increase in number of carbon atoms and also increase in intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonding, if present).
Thus, the compound which is gas at room temperature is <u>because it has least number of carbon atoms and absence of hydrogen bonding.</u>

Answer:
2.97 × 10¹³ g
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate the biomass the is burned. We can establish the following relations:
- 2.47 acre = 10,000 m²
- 10 kg of C occupy an area of 1 m²
- 50% of the biomass is burned
The biomass burned in the site of 400,000 acre is:
Let's consider the combustion of carbon.
C(s) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g)
We can establish the following relations:
- The molar mass of C is 12.01 g/mol
- 1 mole of C produces 1 mole of CO₂
- The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol
The mass of produced is CO₂:
