i may be wrong but Use the normal boiling points: propane, C3H8, –42.1˚C; butane, C4H10, –0.5˚C; pentane, C5H12, 36.1˚C; hexane, C6H14, 68.7˚C; heptane, C7H16, 98.4˚C; to estimate the normal boiling point of octane, C8H18.

Answer:

C₄H₁₀ > C₃H₈

Explanation:

Propane (C₃H₈) is symmetrical and non-polar, so the only inter-molecular forces are London dispersion forces.

Butane (C₄H₁₀) is symmetrical and non-polar, so the only inter-molecular forces are also London dispersion forces.

The only difference is the size.  Butane has more atoms, more surface area, and therefore more inter-molecular forces.  So it has a higher boiling point.

C₄H₁₀ > C₃H₈

1. why is HCl not a good choice as the acid to catalyze a dehydration reaction?
Len [333]

Answer:

1) HCl contains the Cl^- which is a good nucleophile

2) 2-methyl-2- heptanol > 2-heptanol > 1-heptanol

3) see image attached

Explanation:

If the dehydration of alcohols is carried out using HCl, the chloride ion which is a good nucleophile will attack the substrate to yield an undesirable product.

The dehydration of alcohols is an E1 reaction. Recall that the ease of E1 reaction increases in the order 3°> 2°> 1°. Hence, 2-methyl-2- heptanol forms a tertiary carbocation intermediate during dehydration and has the greatest ease of dehydration.

The three products formed during the dehydration of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol are shown in the image attached. Two out of the three are formed by rearrangement reactions.

3. Give an example of how carbon is transferred frem being in a living to a non-living<br> organism.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.
