Answer:
Original temperature (T1) = - 37.16°C
Explanation:
Given:
Gas pressure (P1) = 2.75 bar
Temperature (T2) = - 20°C
Gas pressure (P2) = 1.48 bar
Find:
Original temperature (T1)
Computation:
Using Gay-Lussac's Law
⇒ P1 / T1 = P2 / T2
⇒ 2.75 / T1 = 1.48 / (-20)
⇒ T1 = (2.75)(-20) / 1.48
⇒ T1 = -55 / 1.48
⇒ T1 = - 37.16°C
Original temperature (T1) = - 37.16°C
Nonane (b) has the highest melting point.
-----------------------------
A caveat: I'm assuming that we're dealing with the straight-chain isomers of these alkanes (specifically pentane and nonane). The straight-chain isomer of pentane (<em>n</em>-pentane, CH3-[CH2]3-CH3) has a melting point of -129.8 °C; the straight-chain isomer of nonane (<em>n-</em>nonane, CH3-[CH2]7-CH3) has a melting point of -53.5 °C. The pattern holds as you go down (or up): The more carbon atoms, the higher the melting point. So, in decreasing order of melting points here, you'd have the following: nonane > pentane > butane > ethane.
However, one structural isomer of pentane, neopentane, has a melting point of -16.4 °C, which is <em>higher </em>that the melting point of <em>n</em>-nonane despite neopentane having the same molecular formula as its straight-chain isomer. Of course, you're not to blame for coming up with this question; this is just some extra info to keep in mind.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. <span>Natural gas is a great alternative to electricity for cooking is the statement that describes the use of a nonrenewable resource. Natural gas is a nonrenewable resource since it takes a lot of time to be able to form this. Hope this answers the question.</span>
The closer the atoms are the more the nitrogen will be come bigger or the oppisite
