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.

Explanation:
The question is incomplete; as the mixtures are not given.
However, I'll give a general explanation on how to go about it and I'll also give an example.
The percentage of a component in a mixture is calculated as:
Where
E = Amount of element/component
T = Amount of all elements/components
Take for instance:
In
The amount of all elements is: (i.e formula mass of )
The amount of calcium is: (i.e formula mass of calcium)
So, the percentage component of calcium is:
The amount of hydrogen is:
So, the percentage component of hydrogen is:
Similarly, for oxygen:
The amount of oxygen is:
So, the percentage component of oxygen is:
