Many hydrocarbons exist as structural isomers, which are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures

. For example, both butane and isobutane have the same molecular formula: C4H10- Calculate the mole percent of isobutane in an equilibrium mixture at 25° C, given that the standard Gibbs energy of formation of butane is -15.9 kJ/mol and that of isobutane is -18.0 kJ/mol. Does your result support the notion that straight-chain hydrocarbons (that is, hydrocarbons in which the C atoms are joined in a line) are less stable than branched-chain hydrocarbons?

Answer:

Explanation:

Butane ⇒ Isobutane

ΔG = RT ln K

ΔG = - 18 + 15.9 = - 2.1 kJ / mol

- 2.1 x 10³ = 8.3 x 298 x lnK

lnK = .85

K = 2.33

[ isobutane ] / [ butane ]  = 2.33

isobutane / total mixture = 2.33 / 3.33 = .7

% of isobutane = 70 % .

70% is isobutane and 30 %  butane . Since equilibrium is tilted towards isobutane , it is more stable . Butane is straight chain and isobutane is branched chain compound .

Which part of the amino acid helps identify features that differentiate one amino acid from another
Natasha_Volkova [10]
The part of the amino acid which helps to identify features that differentiate one amino acid from another is the SIDE CHAIN OF EACH AMINO ACID.
Amino acids are made up of five basic parts, these are:
1. A central carbon atom
2. A hydrogen atom
3. An amino group
4. A carboxyl group and 
5. A R group, also known as a side chain.
The side chain distinguishes one amino acid from the other; different amino acids have different side chains.

How might the molecules inside an ice pack be different from the liquid inside of an insulated cup?​
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The molecules inside the ice pack are frozen therefore they are stuck in place. The molecules inside an insulated cup aren't frozen but still stuck inside of their container so that they can not fly out.

What would happen if hydrogen and nitrogen combine?
Tanzania [10]
<span>At room temperature and atmospheric pressure, nothing happens when the two gasses are mixed. However, at high temperature and pressure (450C, 200atm), in the presence of an iron oxide catalyst, the production of ammonia is thermodynamically advantageous.</span>
