Why is boiling point for carbon tertrachloride igher than methanol?

Carbon tetrachloride looks like this

Cl
Cl-C-Cl
Cl

Whereas methane looks as so,

H
H-C-H
H

——————————————————————
In structure/geometry, they’re the exact same. They have the same surface area, and neither one is polar.

The only attribute to the difference in boiling points is the total molecular weights of the atoms

CH4 is MUCH lighter than CCl4, making the molecules easier to float around.

Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfe

Vesna [10]

Answer:

In the given chemical reaction:

Species Oxidized: I⁻

Species Reduced: Fe³⁺

Oxidizing agent: Fe³⁺

Reducing agent: I⁻

As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺

Explanation:

Redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the simultaneous movement of electrons thereby causing oxidation of one species and reduction of the other species.

The chemical species that gets reduced by gaining electrons is called an oxidizing agent. Whereas, the chemical species that gets oxidized by losing electrons is called a reducing agent.

Given redox reaction: 2Fe³⁺ + 2I⁻ → 2Fe²⁺ + I₂

Oxidation half-reaction: 2 I⁻ + → I₂ + 2 e⁻ ....(1)

Reduction half-reaction: [ Fe³⁺ + 1 e⁻ → Fe²⁺ ] × 2

⇒ 2 Fe³⁺ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺ ....(2)

In the given redox reaction, Fe³⁺ (oxidation state +3) accepts electrons and gets reduced to Fe²⁺ (oxidation state +2) and I⁻ (oxidation state -1) loses electrons and gets oxidized to I₂ (oxidation state 0).

Therefore, Fe³⁺ is the oxidizing agent and I⁻ is the reducing agent and the electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺.

Temka [501]

C is the correct answer. Double displacement reaction, also called as metathesis, is a type of reaction wherein two compounds react to form new compounds. This case the cations and the anions of the reactants replace each other forming the new compounds.
