Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!

The concentration of an HCl acid solution is initially 6mol/L. What would the concentration of a new solution be if 200 mL of th
pochemuha

Taking into account the definition of dilution, the concentration of the new solution is 1 mol/L.

<h3>Dilution</h3>

When it is desired to prepare a less concentrated solution from a more concentrated one, it is called dilution.

Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of solute in solution, which is accomplished by simply adding more solvent to the solution at the same amount of solute.

In a dilution the amount of solute does not change, but as more solvent is added, the concentration of the solute decreases, as the volume (and weight) of the solution increases.

A dilution is mathematically expressed as:

Ci×Vi = Cf×Vf

where

  • Ci: initial concentration
  • Vi: initial volume
  • Cf: final concentration
  • Vf: final volume

<h3>Final volume</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • Ci= 6 mol/L
  • Vi= 200 mL
  • Cf= ?
  • Vf= 1 L (1000 mL) water + 200 mL of HCL= 1200 mL

Replacing in the definition of dilution:

6 mol/L× 200 mL= Cf× 1200 mL

Solving:

(6 mol/L× 200 mL)÷ 1200 mL= Cf

<u><em>1 mol/L= Cf</em></u>

In summary, the concentration of the new solution is 1 mol/L.

A trisubstituted cyclohexane compound is given below in its chair conformation. Draw the corresponding planar (overhead) represe
REY [17]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Chiral carbons are carbons that have four different groups, so C atoms 1, 4, and 5 are chiral carbons and thus H atoms are shown for those atoms.
