Why are the boiling points of alcohols much higher than the boiling points of alkanes with similar molecular weight?

Chemistry
1 answer:
jonny [76]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Boiling points increase as number of carbon increases

Explanation:

Alkanes have 3 carbons, while alcohols have 6. This means that alcohol has a higher boiling point.

Consider the perbromate anion. What is the central atom? Enter its chemical symbol. How many lone pairs are around the central a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The central atom in the perbromate ion is bromine. The chemical symbol of bromine is Br. There are no lone pairs around the central bromine atom. The ion is tetrahedral in shape hence we expect a bond angle of 109°. 27 which is the ideal tetrahedral bond angle. The actual bond angle of the prebromate ion is 109.5°. The perbromate ion is BrO4^-

The observed bond angle is very close to the ideal value because of the absence of lone pairs of electrons from the central atom in the ion.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic compounds. In concentrated sulfuri
Fed [463]

Answer:

a) 88.48%

b) 0.05625 mol

Explanation:

2CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃(l) + H₂O(g)         Reaction 1

CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₂═CH₂(g) + H₂O(g)                        Reaction 2

a) CH₃CH₂OH = 46.0684 g/mol

   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ = 74.12 g/mol

1 mol CH₃CH₂OH ______  46.0684 g

x                            ______   50.0 g

x = 1.085 mol  CH₃CH₂OH

1 mol  CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ ______  74.12 g g

y                           ______   35.9 g

y = 0.48 mol   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

100% yield _____ 0.5425 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w                _____  0.48 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w = 88.48%

b) Only 0.96 mol of ethanol reacted to form diethyl ether. This means that 0.125 mol of ethanol did not react. 45% of 0.125 mol reacted to form ethylene. Therefore, 0.05625 mol of ethanol reacted by the side reaction (reaction 2). Since 1 mol of ethanol leads to 1 mol of ethylene, 0.05625 mol of ethanol produces 0.05625 mol of ethylene.
