Structural isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula but different structures and chemical properties. For examp

le, n-pentane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3) boils at 36.5 oC, but neopentane (C(CH3)4) boils at 9.5 oC. Explain why these two compounds have different boiling points.

Answer:

Neopentane (C(CH3)4) have a lower a lower boiling point than n-pentane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3) because of it branched chain.

Explanation:

Structural isomers are compounds that have the same molecular or chemical formula but have different arrangement of atoms in space. The connectivity of the atoms differs for this compounds but they possess the same molecular formula. An example of structural isomers are butane and methyl propane. Usually, as the number of carbon increases for alkane the number of isomers also increases.

Since Isomers are different compound they are bound to have different characteristic both in melting and boiling points. Generally, straight chained isomers have higher boiling points than branched chain isomers.

n-pentane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3) is a straight chained isomer while neopentane (C(CH3)4) is a branched chain isomer.  Neopentane (C(CH3)4) have a lower a lower boiling point than n-pentane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3) because of it branched chain.

A hiker climbs to the top of a mountain at rate of 0.5 me/hr. What are the speed and velocity of the hiker?
Tanzania [10]

A hiker climbs to the top of a mountain at rate of 0.5 m/hr. The speed of hiker is 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ m/s and the velocity of the hiker is 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ m/s west.

Speed is a scalar quantity. It is used to measure the distance traveled in a period of time. It is represented by -

s = d/Δt

where,

s = speed

d = distance

Δt = change in time

Velocity is a vector quantity. It is used to measure the change in position, that is, displacement over the change in time. It is represented by -

v = Δs / Δt

where,

v = velocity

Δs = change in position/displacement

Δt = change in time

The standard unit of velocity and speed both is m/s.

How many moles are found in a 100.0 g sample of CuF2?
labwork [276]
You can solve this by dividing the mass by the molar mass. The molar mass of CuF2 is about 101.5 g/mol. Therefore there are 100.0/101.5 = 0.985 mol.

Determine the mass of chloride (MW = 35.45 g/mol ) in grams present in 100 mL of a 0.273 M solution of aqueous FeCl₃ (iron(III)
Naily [24]

Answer:

The mass chloride is 2.903 grams

Explanation:

Step1: calculate the moles of FeCl3

moles = molarity  x  volume  in liters

volume in liters = 100 ml /1000 =  0.1 L

molarity = 0.273  M  =  0.273  mol / L

moles   =   0.273  mol /L  x 0.1 L = 0.0273   moles

step 2:  find the moles of Cl

since there is  3  atoms of  cl in FeCl3

= 3 x 0.0273 =0.0819 moles

Step 3:  calculate  mass  of cl

 mass= moles  x molar mass

=0.0819 moles x 35.45 g/mol = 2.903 g
