Pentane or 2,2,3- trimethylhexane has the higher boiling point. why?​

Chemistry

Answer:

2,2,3- trimethylhexane because it has more carbon atoms than pentane.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the physical properties of organic compounds are intensified as the number of carbon atoms start increasing on it, the larger the amount of carbon atom, the higher the boiling point since more energy is required to allow the liquid-phase molecules to transcend to the vapor-phase.

In such a way, since pentane has five carbon atoms and 2,2,3- trimethylhexane has nine carbon atoms, 2,2,3- trimethylhexane has the highest boiling point.

Best regards.

What is the difference between a mixture and compound
bonufazy [111]
A compound is made up of a single type of molecule. A mixture, on the other hand, is made up of different substances that can be distinguished from one another.
As an example:
Water (pure water) is a compound since it's only made up of water molecules
Seawater is a mixture since it is made up of water molecules and soluble salts
