Base your answer on the information below. The hydrocarbon 2-methylpropane reacts with iodine as represented by the balanced equ

ation below. At standard pressure, the boiling point of 2-methylpropane is lower than the boiling point of 2-iodo-2-methylpropane. Explain the difference in the boiling points of 2-methylpropane and 2-iodo-2-methylpropane in terms of both molecular polarity and intermolecular forces.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The boiling point of a substance is affected by the nature of bonding in the molecule as well as the nature of intermolecular forces between molecules of the substance.

2-methylpropane has only pure covalent and nonpolar C-C and C-H bonds. As a result of this, the molecule is nonpolar and the only intermolecular forces present are weak dispersion forces. Therefore, 2-methylpropane has a very low boiling point.

As for 2-iodo-2-methylpropane, there is a polar C-I bond. This now implies that the intermolecular forces present are both dispersion forces and dipole interaction. As a result of the presence of stronger dipole interaction between 2-iodo-2-methylpropane molecules, the compound has a higher boiling point than  2-methylpropane.

What is the oxidation state of Hg in Hg2Cl2?​
Anna [14]

Answer:

+1

Explanation:

Electrochemistry. In oxidation–reduction (redox) reactions, electrons are transferred from one A redox reaction is balanced when the number of electrons lost by the reductant Hg(l)∣Hg2Cl2(s)∣Cl−(aq) ∥ Cd2+(aq)∣Cd(s).

As is evident from the Stock number, mercury has an oxidation state of +1. This makes sense, as chlorine usually has an oxidation state of -1.

A container initially holds 5.67 x 10^-2 mol of propane and has a volume of V1. The volume of the container was increased by add
Brut [27]

Answer:

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.27 L (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Number of mol (n1) = 5.67 x 10⁻²

Number of mol (n2) = (5.67 +2.95) x 10⁻² = 8.62 x 10⁻²

New volume (V2) = 1.93 L

Find:

Initial volume of the container (V1)

Computation:

Using Avogadro's law

V1 / n1 = V2 / n2

V1 / 5.67 x 10⁻² = 1.93 / 8.62 x 10⁻²

V1 = 10.9431 / 8.62

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.2695

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.27 L (Approx)
