Answer:

i belive its c

Explanation:

Atoms of group 18 elements have eight valence electrons (or two in the case of helium). These elements already have a full outer energy level, so they are very stable. As a result, they rarely if ever react with other elements. Therefore, it is very reactive and gives up electrons in chemical reactions.

Arrange these compounds by their expected boiling point. Highest boiling point Lowest boiling point CH3OH, CH3CI CH4.
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: The given compounds are arranged according to decreasing boiling point as CH_{3}OH > CH_{3}Cl > CH_{4}.

Explanation:

The temperature at which vapor pressure of a substance becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure is called boiling point.

Stronger is the intermolecular forces present the atoms of a molecule more heat will be required by it to break the bond between its atoms. Hence, more will the boiling point of the molecule.

In CH_{3}OH (methanol), there is hydrogen bonding present which is a stronger force. So, it will have highest boiling point as compared to CH_{3}Cl and CH_{4}.

In CH_{3}Cl (chloroform), there is more electronegative atom attached (Cl) is attached to less electronegative atom (C and H). So, electrons are more pulled towards the chlorine atom. So, boiling point of  CH_{3}Cl is more than methane (CH_{4}).

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are arranged according to decreasing boiling point as CH_{3}OH > CH_{3}Cl > CH_{4}.

Chemistry student measured the boiling point of lyric acid to be 40°C the actual boiling point of lyric acid is 43.2°C what is t
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The percent error of Chemistry student : 7.4%

<h3> Further explanation </h3>

Given

40 °C measurement

Required

The percent error

Solution

% Error : difference between the theoretical value and the actual value

or

% Error : Absolute Error / Accepted Value

Absolute Error = Measured Value - Accepted Value

% Error for Chemistry student  :

1. Subtract the measurement value with the accepted value

= 40 °C - 43.2 °C

= -3.2 °C

2. Divide by the accepted value, and multiply by 100

= |-3.2/43.2| x 100%

= 7.4%
