Which alkane would have a higher boiling point?a)ethaneb)pentanec)heptane
1 answer:
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;
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.

Answer:
≅ 16.81 kJ
Explanation:
Given that;
mass of acetone = 31.5 g
molar mass of acetone = 58.08 g/mol
heat of vaporization for acetone = 31.0 kJ/molkJ/mol.
Number of moles =
Number of moles of acetone =
Number of moles of acetone = 0.5424 mole
The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone can be determined by multiplying the number of moles of acetone with the heat of vaporization of acetone;
Hence;
The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone = 0.5424 mole × 31.0 kJ/mol
The heat required to vaporize 31.5 g of acetone = 16.8144 kJ
≅ 16.81 kJ
