There's a slight error in your equation. I think you were trying to present it like this:
2C8H18 + 25O2 -> 16CO2 + 18H2O
Mole Ratio
O2 : H20
25 : 18
? moles : 18 moles
(18/18)×25 : 18 moles
25 moles : 18 moles
Final answer would be 25 moles of O2. :)
If you have any doubts that you want to clarify with me, please ask me! :)
I will do my utmost best to help you.
Answer:
c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond.
Explanation:
Actually, the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is just about 0.4. This meager difference in electronegativity corresponds to a nonpolar bond between the two atoms.
However, the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen is about 0.9. This larger electronegativity difference corresponds to the existence of a polar covalent bond between the two atoms.
Hence the N-H bond is significantly polar unlike the C-H bond. This implies that CH4 molecules are only held together by weak dispersion forces while NH3 molecules are held together by stronger dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds.
Latitude and Temperature
At the equator, the Sun's rays are most direct. This is where temperatures are highest. At higher latitudes, the Sun's rays are less direct. The farther an area is from the equator, the lower its temperature.
