The alkanes are a homologous series of compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen that have the general formula

ps://tex.z-dn.net/?f=C_nH_%7B2n%2B2%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="C_nH_{2n+2}" alt="C_nH_{2n+2}" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">. Members of this series include butane (C₄H₁₀), 3,3-dimethylpentane (C₇H₁₆), hexane (C₆H₁₄), and heptane (C₇H₁₆).
The boiling points for a set of compounds in a homologous series can be qualitatively predicted using intermolecular force strengths. Using their condensed structural formulas, rank the homologous series for a set of alkanes by their boiling point.

Answer:

Heptane > hexane> 3,3-dimethylpentane > butane

Explanation:

All things being equal, it is expected that the boiling point of the members of the alkane homologous series increase as we move down the group.

Hence for example, butane is expected to have a higher boiling point than ethane. Another important factor we would be considering in this answer is the presence of a branched alkane amongst the answers in the question. A straight-chain alkane will have a boiling point which is higher than that of a branched-chain alkane due to the greater surface area in contact, thus the greater van der Waals forces, between adjacent molecules

Now if we are to rank the compounds on the basis of boiling point, the answer is as follows:

Heptane > hexane > 3,3-dimethylpentane> butane

a gas that exerts a pressure of 215 torr in a container with a volume of 51.0 mL will exert a pressure of ? torr when transferre
zhannawk [14.2K]
To calculate the new pressure, we can use Boyle’s law to relate these two scenarios (Boyle’s law is used because the temperature is assumed to remain constant). Boyle’s law is:

P1V1 = P2V2,

Where “P” is pressure and “V” is volume. The pressure and volume of the first scenario is 215 torr and 51 mL, respectively, and the second scenario has a volume of 18.5 L (18,500 mL) and the unknown pressure - let’s call that “x”. Plugging these into the equation:

(215 torr)(51 mL) =(“x” torr)(18,500 mL)
x = 0.593 torr

The final pressure exerted by the gas would be 0.593 torr.

Hope this helps!

What did you include in your hypothesis? Check all that apply.
Tcecarenko [31]

The following observation would be included in a hypothesis: a connection between type of material and thermal energy transfer is developed (option C).

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

Hypothesis is a tentative conjecture explaining an observation, phenomenon or scientific problem that can be tested by further observation, investigation and/or experimentation.

The hypothesis is regarded as an educated guess because it predicts the possible outcome of an experiment.

The hypothesis is a statement that relates the independent variable of the experiment with the measured or dependent variable.

Therefore, the following observation would be included in a hypothesis: a connection between type of material and thermal energy transfer is developed.

How are antibodies and receptor molecules function similarly
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Antigens are molecules capable of stimulating an immune response. Each antigen has distinct surface features, or epitopes, resulting in specific responses. Antibodies (immunoglobins) are Y-shaped proteins produced by B cells of the immune system in response to exposure to antigens.
