Compare the boiling points of alcohol, ethers and alkanes and explain one reason for the difference
scoundrel [369]

Alcohols have higher boiling points than do ethers and alkanes of similar molar masses.

<h3>What is meant by Boiling Point ?</h3>

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid is called the boiling point of the substance.

Approximately boiling point of Ethanol: 78.4°C, ether: 34.6°C, ethanes: 68°C

The reason for the difference is that it takes more energy to separate alcohol molecules then it does to separate alkane molecules and ether molecules.

The OH group in  alcohol allows molecules to engage in hydrogen bonding.

Therefore Boiling point are in the order ;

Alcohol > alkane > ethers

The reaction P4 +502P4010 + 712 kcal is
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The reaction is exothermic (option 4)

Explanation:

P4 + 5O2 → P4O10 + 712 kcal

In chemical reactions heat can be absorbed or released:

⇒in the first case, when heat is absorbed, this is called an endothermic reaction. The products have more energy than the reactants. The reaction requires or absorbs energy from it's surroundings.  That means  that in this reaction energy , in the form of heat, will be absorbed by the reactants.

⇒ when heat is released, this is called an exothermic reaction. The reactants have more energy than the products. The reaction gives or releases energy to it's surroundings.  That means  that in this reaction energy , in the form of heat, will be released by the reactants.

in the case of P4 + 5O2 → P4O10 + 712 kcal

We notice that on the right side, which is the product side, there is a positive amount of energy. This means that the energy is released by the the reactants, in this reaction. <u>The reaction is exothermic.</u>
