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

Liquid nitrogen has a density of 0.807 g/ml at –195.8 °c. if 1.00 l of n2(l) is allowed to warm to 25°c at a pressure of 1.00 at
Flauer [41]
Step 1: Change density from g/mL to g/L;

                                  0.807 g/mL  =  807 g/L

Step 2: Find Moles of N₂;
As,
             Density  =  Mass / Volume
Or,
             Mass  =  Density × Volume

Putting Values,

            Mass  =  807 g/L × 1 L

            Mass  =  807 g
Also,
            Moles  =  Mass / M.mass

Putting values,

            Moles  =  807 g / 28 g.mol⁻¹

            Moles  =  28.82 moles

Step 3: Apply Ideal Gas Equation to Find Volume of gas occupied,

As,
                        P V  =  n R T

                            V  =  n R T / P
Putting Values, remember! don't forget to change temperatue into Kelvin (25 °C + 273 = 298 K)

                 V  =  (28.82 mol × 0.08206 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 298 K) ÷ 1 atm

                 V  =  704.76 L

Before raw data can be used as scientific evidence, it must be analyzed and summarized. One way of summarizing data is to find t
Sindrei [870]
To calculate the mean, you add up all of the data values, and then divide that sum by the *number* of values.

For instance, if you wanted to find the mean score at a home run derby, and you’re given the following numbers for home runs scored by each player:

5, 4, 6, 5, 3, 1

You could calculate the mean by adding all of the score up

5 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 24

And dividing by the number of hitters (in this case, 6)

24 / 6 = 4

So the *mean score* of the home run derby would be 4.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Q9. The independent variable in this experiment is the fertilizer. It is independent because she manipulating the variable to compare the growth.

Q10. The dependent variable in this experiment is the amount of growth of the corn. It is this because the growth depends on what the scientist did on the corn.

Q11. The variable controlled in this experiment is the amount of sun and water. These two variables never change so this is why it is the control.
