Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons. Each hydrocarbon consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms. A hydrocarbon contains carbon chain and its boiling and melting points increase with increase in length of the carbon chain. The length of the carbon chain increases with increase in the number of carbon atoms forming bonds. Therefore, the boiling point of hydrocarbon increases with increase in the number of carbon atoms.
(Answer) (2) increase in the number of carbon atoms.
If its oxidised, water and carbon dioxide is formed.
Answer : The molecular weight of a substance is 157.3 g/mol
Explanation :
As we are given that 7 % by weight that means 7 grams of solute present in 100 grams of solution.
Mass of solute = 7 g
Mass of solution = 100 g
Mass of solvent = 100 - 7 = 93 g
Formula used :
where,
= change in freezing point
= temperature of pure water =
= temperature of solution =
= freezing point constant of water =
m = molality
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get
Therefore, the molecular weight of a substance is 157.3 g/mol
