Answer:

The answer to your question is 126.1°C

Explanation:

                  Boiling point         Difference of boiling points  

C₃H₈             - 42.1°C

C₄H₁₀             -   0.5°C                 41.6 °C

C₅H₁₂               36.1°C                  36.6°C                       41.6 - 36.6 = 5°C          

C₆H₁₄               68.7°C                 32.6°C                        36.6 - 32.6 =4°C

C₇H₁₆               98.4°C                 29.7°C                        32.6 - 29.7 = 2.9°C

We can observe on the table that the difference of boiling points diminishes 1°C when the hydrocarbon has one more carbon, then the difference of temperature between the hydrocarbon of 8 carbons and the hydrocarbon of 7 carbons must be 2°C.

So, this difference is 29.7°C - 2°C = 27.7°C.

And the boiling point of octane is approximately 98.4 + 27.7°C = 126.1°C

Question: In experiment your teacher has provided you with a sample of sandy, salty, ocean water and
liq [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components of the mixture are in the same proportion throughout any sample extracted from the mixture while an heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components of the mixture differ in term of proportion when different samples of the mixture are extracted and compared.

For example, a sandy water will have some parts (usually the bottom) of the mixture with more sand than other parts of the mixture, hence, it (sandy water) is a heterogeneous mixture. While salty and ocean water has it's salt dissolved in the same proportion throughout the water in the mixture, hence salty and/or ocean water is a homogeneous mixture.

Sandy water can be separated by filtration (i.e using a filter paper to separate the sand from the water when the mixture is poured over a filter paper) while salty and ocean water can be separated by distillation (i.e boiling of the mixture so the water molecules can boil and move through a tube as gas or steam into another container where they are cooled and converted back to liquid or water while leaving the solid salt component of the mixture in the boiling tube).

Which statement best describes the pH of pure water?
Ray Of Light [21]

The pH of pure water is neutral because the concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hydroxide ions.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Water is one of the most important constituents of living being. It is said that there is no life without water. So that water need to neutral in nature to save life. Pure water is composed of hydronium H^{+} and hydroxide \left(O H^{-}\right) ions. It is known that hydronium ions are acidic in nature with concentration of 1 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{L}.

Similarly, the hydroxide ions which are basic in nature will be in same concentration as that of hydronium ions. So, as the concentration of basic and acidic elements are equal with the same strength of pH, the combination of these ions lead to formation of pure water with the pH being neutral.
