Answer:The correct answer is :'because they have different boiling points'.

Explanation:

Isomers are those molecules with with same molecular formula but different structural formula.They have different atomic arrangement due to which there boiling point differ with one another.

For example: Butane as higher boiling point than 2 methyl propane because due to branching the boiling point of an hydrocarbon decreases.

Since they differ in boiling points thy can be easily separated from each other by the distillation process.

The principle behind the distillation process is the different liquids boils at different temperature.

For the reaction 2h2+o2>h20, how many grams of water are produced from 70 grams of hydrogen

KonstantinChe [14]

630g

Explanation:

firstly the equation has to be balanced. 2H2+o2>2H2o.

finding the mole of hydrogen?

mole = 70/2 which is equal to 35 mole of hydrogen.

35 mole of hydrogen is equal to the mole of water.

finding the mass of water=?

35=mass/18

mass= 35*18=630g of water

What is the octet rule

BlackZzzverrR [31]

The octet rule is that atoms must have 8 valence electrons to have an octet. Usually, when atoms have an octet, they tend not to bond with any other atoms because they are already stable and do not need to bond anymore.

The reaction rate is k[Ce4+][Mn2+] for the following reaction: 2Ce4+(aq) + Tl+(aq) + Mn2+(aq) → 2Ce3+(aq) + Tl3+(aq) + Mn2+(aq W

sdas [7]

Answer:

Manganese (II) ion, Mn²⁺

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the overall reaction:

$2Ce^{4+}(aq) + Tl^+(aq) + Mn^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2Ce^{3+}(aq) + Tl^{3+}(aq) + Mn^{2+}(aq)$

Thus, since manganese (II) ion, Mn²⁺ is both at the reactant and products, we infer it is catalyst, since catalysts are firstly consumed but finally regenerated once the reaction has gone to completion. Moreover, since inner steps are needed to obtain it, we can infer that the given rate law corresponds to the slowest step that is related with the initial collisions between Ce⁴⁺ and Mn²⁺

Best regards.
