Hydrocarbons consisting of short carbon chains are ________.

Chemistry
1 answer:
nekit [7.7K]4 years ago
8 0

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Volatility is defined as the ability of a substance to readily evaporate into the atmosphere.

A small chain of hydrocarbon will have molecules in a small surface area. Moreover, a small chain hydrocarbon will have lesser dispersion forces due to which molecules are able to evaporate into the atmosphere easily.

Short carbon chain hydrocarbon will also be less viscous in nature.

Therefore, hydrocarbons consisting of short carbon chains are more volatile than hydrocarbons with longer chains.

A gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by?
AURORKA [14]

A gas with a vapor density greater than that of air, would be most effectively displaced out off a vessel by ventilation.

The two following principles determine the type of ventilation: Considering the impact of the contaminant's vapour density and either positive or negative pressure is applied.

Consider a vertical tank that is filled with methane gas. Methane would leak out if we opened the top hatch since its vapour density is far lower than that of air. A second opening could be built at the bottom to greatly increase the process' efficiency.

A faster atmospheric turnover would follow from air being pulled in via the bottom while the methane was vented out the top. The rate of natural ventilation will increase with the difference in vapour density. Numerous gases that require ventilation are either present in fairly low concentrations or have vapor densities close to one.

Hi!! please help :( lots of points !

Answer:

<u><em>Structure:</em></u>

<em>Differences-  </em>A polymer is a collection of a large number of molecules whereas a monomer is a single molecule.

A monomer is a single molecule, which has the ability to chemically bond with other monomers in a long chain. A polymer is a chain that is made when monomers bind with other monomers.

<em>Similarities-</em>  They are both molecules

<u><em>Properties:</em></u>

<em> Differences- </em>Monomers have polyfunctionality, which is the capacity to form chemical bonds to at least two other monomer molecules. Polymers are chemically unreactive, solids at room temperature, malleable, tough, and are electrical insulators.

<em>Similarities- </em>They both makeup larger forms of matter.

<u><em>Intermolecular Forces</em></u>

<em>Differences: </em>Polymers are held together by covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion bonds. Monomers are <u><em>only</em></u> held together by hydrogen bonds.

<em>Similarities: </em>They can both be bonded together by hydrogen bonds.
