Which compound has the highest boiling point? Explain your reasoning. CH4 or CH3CH3

2 answers:

4 0

The bigger molecule has more interactions and hence the higher b.p. CH3CH2OCH2CH3 is a bigger molecule than CH4 and CH3CH3, so has more dispersion forces. It also has dipole-dipole forces due to the polarised C-O bonds. CH3OH and CH3CH2OH have hydrogen bonds due to the very electronegative O atom bonded to the H atom

Answer:

The correct answer t is ; $CH_4$ has a lower mass compared to $CH-3CH-3$ which leads to a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

Boiling point of alkanes increases with increase number of carbon atoms in the chain.

This is because along with increase in carbon atom molar mass of alkane also increases by which surface area of molecule increases which further results in increase in weak vander wall forces among the molecule. Due to this molecules associates strongly with each other and boils at high temperature

The resultant of two forces acting on the same point simultaneously will be the greatest when the angle between them is:a) 180 d

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

0 degrees

Explanation:

Let $F_1\ and\ F_2$ are two forces. The resultant of two forces acting on the same point is given by :

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2\ cos\theta}$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between two forces

When $\theta=0$ i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2\ cos(0)}$

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2}$

When $\theta=90^{\circ}$ i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+F_1F_2\ cos(90)}$

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}$

When $\theta=180^{\circ}$ i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+F_1F_2\ cos(180)}$

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2-2F_1F_2}$

It is clear that the resultant of two forces acting on the same point simultaneously will be the greatest when the angle between them is 0 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following is an example of a renewable natural resource?

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

c. lumber

Explanation:

Lumber is considered a renewable natural resource because it is gotten from trees and trees are grow-able. A renewable natural resource is a resource which can be used repeatedly and replaced naturally. Examples of renewable natural resources are solar energy from the sun, water, oxygen, biomass, trees etc. Trees can be harvested and processed into lumber. The harvested trees can be planted again by humans or they can naturally reproduce through seedlings or fruits that drop and germinate on their own. This renewable germinating process of trees makes lumber a renewable natural resource.

A bionic man running at 6.5 m/sec , east is acceleration at a uniform rate of 1.5 m/sec^2 east over a displacement of 100.0 m ea

tangare [24]

Given:
u = 6.5 m/s, initial velocity
a = 1.5 m/s², acceleration
s = 100.0 m, displacement

Let v = the velocity attained after the 100 m displacement.
Use the formula
v² = u² + 2as
v² = (6.5 m/s)² + 2*(1.5 m/s²)*(100 m) = 342.25 (m/s)²
v = 18.5 m/s

Answer: 18.5 m/s
