The answer would be absorbed
The branched structure isomer will require less energy to melt than the straight chain isomer
explanation
Branched structure isomer has weak intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to straight chain isomers. In addition the branched isomer has a low boiling point as compared to straight chain isomers. Since boiling require the of the intermolecular forces tend to have lower boiling point than straight chain
They are arranged by their atomic mass.
Answer:
-250.3kJ
Explanation:
Based in the reactions and using -<em>Hess's law-</em>:
(1) P₄(s) + 6 Cl₂(g) → 4PCl₃(g) ΔH₁ = -4439kJ
(2) 4PCl₅(g) → P₄(s) + 10Cl₂ ΔH₂ = 3438kJ
The sum of (1) + (2) is:
4PCl₅(g) → 4PCl₃(g) + 4 Cl₂ ΔH = -4439kJ + 3438kJ = -1001kJ
Dividing this reaction in 4:
PCl₅(g) → PCl₃(g) + Cl₂ ΔH = -1001kJ / 4 = <em>-250.3kJ</em>
