You would know that the variable is quantitative if it shows any number to express the quantity. For example, quantitative variables are 50°C, 5 atm, 2 moles, 100 L and so on. A variable is qualitative if it expresses a relative quantity but not expressing a number. Examples would be: few, too hot, several, or even describing the characteristics of a variable. Hence, when the variable is in grams, then that would be quantitative.
False because that doesn’t make sense
I’m pretty sure the answer would be natural
Answer:
Ethane would have a higher boiling point.
Explanation:
In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.
Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.
I hope it helps!
