Explanation:

It is known that more linearly the atoms are arranged in a carbon chain more will be its melting point. This is because then more surface area has been occupied by the molecule and in order to break all the bonds, heat energy has to reach to the entire surface area.

As a result, melting point of the compound will be high. On the other hand, more is the branching present in a carbon chain less will be the surface area occupied by it. Hence, smaller will be its melting point.

Therefore, in the given structures of (C_{7}H_{16}) as the branching increases there occurs a decrease in melting point.

If one mole of a substance has a mass of 56.0 g, what is the mass of 11 nanomoles of the substance? Express your answer in nanog
9966 [12]

Answer:

616,0 ng is the right answer.

Explanation:

You should know that 1 mole = 1 .10^9 nanomoles

Get the rule of three.

1 .10^9 nanomoles ...................... 56.0 gr

11 nanomoles .....................

(11 x 56) / 1 .10^9 nanomoles = 6.16 x 10^-7 gr

Let's convert

6.16 x 10^-7 gr x 1 .10^9 = 616 ngr

The accepted value for the mass of a moonrock is 46.37 g. In an experiment the rock is measured to be 47.25 g. What is the perce
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2.00 %</h2>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

P(\%) =  \frac{error}{actual \:  \: number}  \times 100\% \\

From the question

actual measurement = 46.37 g

error = 47.25 - 46.37 = 0.88

The percentage error of the measurement is

P(\%) =  \frac{0.88}{46.37}  \times 100 \\  = 1.89777873...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.00 %</h3>
