Answer:

C) How much energy was added to the substance to increase molecule motion?

Explanation:

The most relevant question to ask regarding this change must take into account the physical knowledge about matter.

When matter changes from liquid state to gaseous state, a physical change called evaporation, the particles (molecules or atoms) of the pure substance will separate from each other, take up more space and move faster.

Condensation is the opposite to evaporation, thus the option A) is not the most relevant question.

The charge of the particles does not change; so the option B) is not relevant at all.

The particles should gain energy from the surroundings to increase their motion (kinetic energy) when they pass from liquid state, where they move slower, to gas state, where they move faster. Hence, the option C), How much energy was added to the substance to increase molecule motion? , is totally relevant.

Since this is an increase in the kinetic energy of the molecules, the option D) is not relevant.

Place these hydrocarbons in order of decreasing boiling point. Rank from highest to lowest boiling point. 1. Paraffin, C40Hg2 2.

lesya [120]

Answer:

Paraffin > Heptadecane > Hexane > 2,2-dimethylbutane > Propane

Explanation:

It must first be establish that all the molecules listed in the question are alkanes. For alkanes, the intermolecular forces between the molecules of alkanes increases with increasing molecular weight. This is as a result of increase in the surface area of the molecule. Increase in surface area implies a greater degree of dispersion forces.

This is the reason why high boiling points are observed for high molecular weight alkanes.

What is the difference between an element and a compound?

stepan [7]

Basically, an element is made of only one kind of atom, while a compound contains the atoms of two or more elements.

Just to give you a good exaple:

Gold is made of only one kind of atom, so it's considered an element, but water is a mix of hydrogen and oxygen, so it's a compound.

Which of the following is the most likely cause for the increase in pressure observed in the container as the reaction reaches e

ryzh [129]

Answer:

c) an increase in the number of molecules, which increase the frequency of collisions with the walls of the container.

Explanation:

Hello!

When in a chemical reaction the amount of mole of products is greater than the amount of mole of reagents, an increase in pressure is observed upon reaching equilibrium.

Increases in temperature can also produce an increase in pressure although in some cases an increase in temperature may occur under isobar conditions (constant pressure).

Why is DNA a useful evolutionary clock?

hjlf

DNA is an evolutionary clock that's extremely useful in our lives because it mutates. The mutations that occur in our DNA causes the organisms to diverge evolutionarily from one another, providing us our natural clock in the timeline of evolution.
