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.

In the following redox reaction which is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent? AlCl3 + Na NaCl + Al
horrorfan [7]

Answer :  Al

Explanation :

- For a given redox reaction there must be an oxidizing agent/(s) and a reducing agent/(s).

- the oxidizing agent is the substance that undergoes reduction process (gaining electrons or loss of oxygen atoms), meanwhile, the reducing agent is the substance that undergoes oxidation process (loss of electrons or gaining of oxygen atoms).

- In the reaction above, the oxidation number of (Al) in AlCl3 is (3+). However, the oxidation number of (Al) in the products is zero because it exists as a single element.

Therefore, changing from (3+) to zero means gaining of (3) electrons to neutralize the previously existing (3) protons on (Al) in AlCl3.

So Al is the oxidizing agent..

The trend in electronegativity is F >Cl >Br; therefore, the most ionic compound (CH2F2) has the lowest boiling point, and
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Increase in polarity of a molecule leads to higher boiling points. The more polar a molecule is, the higher the energy required to breaks intermolecular forces of attraction hence the higher the boiling point. This is the reason why ionic compounds and compounds having polar covalent bonds in them tend to have high boiling points.
