Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Alkanes with higher molecular mass has higher boiling point.

Thisis because when the molar mass of the alkanes increases the the surface area increases with which van der Waals forces between the molecules of alkane also increase which increases the association of the molecules of with each other which results in increase in boiling point is observed.

The increasing order of the molar mass of the given alkanes;

$C_2H_6$

So out of ethane, pentane and heptane . Heptane has highest molecular mass with higher boiling point value. Where as ethane have the lowest value of boiling point.

Why does metal need to be extracted from an ore before it can be used?

Hunter-Best [27]

Metal ore has other elements in it as well. Also sediment and stone might cover the ore. We don't want to have a phone with sediment on it do we? thus these few reasons are why.

Chicago is about 2,800 km from Los Angeles. About how long would it take a jet plane flying 800 km/h to fly from Chicago to Los

BaLLatris [955]

<u>Answer:</u> The time taken by jet plane to reach Los Angeles from Chicago is 3.5 hours

<u>Explanation:</u>

Speed is defined as the rate at which an object moves with respect to time.

To calculate the time taken for the given speed, we use the equation:

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

where,

s = speed of the jet plane = 800 km/hr

d = distance traveled = 2800 km

t = time taken by jet plane = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$800km/hr=\frac{2800km}{t}\\\\t=\frac{2800km}{800km/hr}=3.5hr$

Hence, the time taken by jet plane to reach Los Angeles from Chicago is 3.5 hours

Answer each of the following questions with increases, decreases, or does not change.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

a) increases

b) decreases

c) does not change

d) increases

Explanation:

The vapour pressure of a liquid is dependent on;

I) the magnitude of intermolecular forces

II) the temperature of the liquid

Hence, when any of these increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise.

Similarly, the boiling point of a liquid depends on the magnitude of intermolecular forces present because as intermolecular forces increases, more energy is required to break intermolecular bonds.

Lastly, increase in surface area of a liquid does not really affect it's vapour pressure.

How many reactant molecules and product gas molecules are in this equation?

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

N₂ = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

H₂ = 18.066 × 10²³ molecules

NH₃ = 12.044 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Chemical equation;

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

It can be seen that there are one mole of nitrogen three mole of hydrogen and two moles of ammonia are present in this equation. The number of molecules of reactant and product would be calculated by using Avogadro number.

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

Number of molecules of nitrogen gas:

1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

Number of molecules of hydrogen:

3 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

18.066 × 10²³ molecules

Number of molecules of ammonia:

2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

12.044 × 10²³ molecules
