<em>Answer:</em>
<em>B.) A hot liquid or air that expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense and sinks.</em>
<em>Explanation:</em>
<em>Convention is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.</em>
Answer:
If we assume the molar volumes of water and ethanol 17.0 and 57.0 cm³/mol, respectively, Vmix = 20.5 cm³.
Explanation:
The molar volume of a substance is the ratio between the volume and the number of moles of the substance. It represents the volume that 1 mol of it occupies. Because we don't have access to page 24, let's assume the molar volumes of water and ethanol 17.0 and 57.0 cm³/mol, respectively.
The volume of mixture (Vmix) is the sum of the volume of each substance, which is the number of moles multiplied by molar volume, so:
Vmix = 0.300*57 + 0.200*17
Vmix = 17.1 + 3.4
Vmix = 20.5 cm³
Answer 1:
Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different structure formula. Isomers are classified into two types
a) Structural/configurational isomers
b) Stereo isomers
In structural/configurational isomers atom and functional groups are attached in different fashion. Structural isomers may have different functional groups. Structural isomers are further classified as chain isomers, position isomers and functional isomers. In case of stereo-isomers, compounds have same functional group, but different orientation in space. They also have difference activity towards polarized light.
Answer 2:
Hexane has a molecular formula of C6H14. It exhibits following structural isomers
a) hexane<span>,
b) 2-methylpentane
c)3-methylpentane
d) 2,2-dimethylbutane
e) 2,3-dimethylbutane
Thus, in all there are 5 isomers of hexane
Answer 3:
</span><span>Butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. This can be attributed to the fact that butane has 4 carbon atoms, while decane has 10 carbon atom. As the number of carbon atom increases, there are higher possible sites of linkage, in different fashion. Therefore, as number 69 of carbon atoms increases, number of different possible isomers increases.
Answer 4:
It has been observed that, though isomers have same molecular formula, but the have different boiling points. Infact, branched isomers have lower boiling point as compared to linear isomers. For example, hexane has boiling point = 69 oC, 2 methyl pentane has boiling point = 60 oC, 2,4, dimethyl butane has boiling point = 58 oC and 2,2 dimethyl butane has boiling point = 50 oC. Thus, it can be observed that branched isomers have lower boiling points as compared to linear isomers. This can be attributed to lower van der Waal's forces of interaction in branched isomers as compared to linear isomers.
