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

Express the following numbers as decimals: (a) 1.52 x 10^-2, (b) 7.78 x 10^-8, (c) 1 x 10^-6, (d) 1.6001 x 10^3.
Alchen [17]

Answer :

(a) 0.0152

(b) 0.0000000778

(c) 0.000001

(d) 1600.1

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example :

5000 is written as 5.0\times 10^3

889.9 is written as 8.899\times 10^{-2}

In this examples, 5000 and 889.9 are written in the standard notation and 5.0\times 10^3  and 8.899\times 10^{-2}  are written in the scientific notation.

(a) 1.52\times 10^{-2}

The standard notation is, 0.0152

(b) 7.78\times 10^{-8}

The standard notation is, 0.0000000778

(c) 1\times 10^{-6}

The standard notation is, 0.000001

(d) 1.6001\times 10^{3}

The standard notation is, 1600.1

Describe how the particles of two substances interact when mixed. Be sure to discuss the activation energy and how the particles
Charra [1.4K]
A reaction mechanism must ultimately be understood as a "blow-by-blow" description of the molecular-level events whose sequence leads from reactants to products. These elementary steps (also called elementary reactions) are almost always very simple ones involving one, two, or [rarely] three chemical species which are classified

It is common knowledge that chemical reactions occur more rapidly at higher temperatures. Everyone knows that milk turns sour much more rapidly if stored at room temperature rather than in a refrigerator, butter goes rancid more quickly in the summer than in the winter, and eggs hard-boil more quickly at sea level than in the mountains. For the same reason, cold-blooded animals such as reptiles and insects tend to be noticeably more lethargic on cold days.

Thermal energy relates direction to motion at the molecular level. As the temperature rises, molecules move faster and collide more vigorously, greatly increasing the likelihood of bond cleavages and rearrangements as described above.
