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

What should be the temperature of the solvent before adding it to the sample to be recrystallized?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Near the boiling point of the solvent

Explanation:

The process of recrystallization is hinged on the fact that the amount of solute that can be dissolved by a solvent increases with temperature. The process involves creation of a solution by dissolving a solute in a solvent at or near its boiling point.  At the boiling point of the solvent, the solute has a greater solubility in the solvent; not much volume of  the hot solvent is required to dissolve the solute.

Before the solution is later cooled, you can now filter out insoluble impurities from the hot solvent. The quantity of the original solute drops appreciably because impurities have been removed. At this lower temperature, the solution becomes saturated and the solute can no longer be held in solution hence it forms pure crystals of solute, which can be recovered.

Recrystallization must be carried out using the proper solvent. The solute must be relatively insoluble in the solvent at room temperature but more soluble in the solvent at elevated temperature.

The latent heat of melting is 80 calories for 1 gram of ice. if 1 gram of ice absorbs 60 calories what do i get?
Eva8 [605]
Latent heat of melting is the energy that a solid absorbs to change its phase as its liquid. During this process, since all energy is used to change the phase, the temperature is constant.

Here the latent energy of melting for 1 g of ice is 80 calories and that 1 g of ice only absorbed 60 calories. hence the phase is not changed because it requires more 20 calories to melt.

Hence 1 g of ice remains as its solid phase (ice).

1) According to Bohr's model of the atom, in which orbitals do electrons have the most energy?
Alex Ar [27]

The orbitals closest to the nucleus is the orbital wih the lowest energy. This is according to the basic rules stating that the energy of the shells as its principal quantum number increases, also increases. Thus the answer in 1 is B. Valence electrons are found in the outermost electron shell, on the other hand.

Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.
kramer
Based on the given conditions, the gravitational force acted on the body is greater than the force upward by a quantity equal to 500 N. Therefore, the net force will cancel out and will remain an amount of 500N downward relative to the gravitational force exerted by the object.
