Answer:
There are often not more than one or two independent variables tested in an experiment.
Methane, CH4, would have the lowest boiling point among the three since it has the lowest number of carbon and has no functional groups. Methanol would have the highest boiling point since it has a functional group which contains hydrogen bonding which much stronger than the one in CH3Cl. Hope this helps.<span />
Correct Answer: Option C:<span> The equilibrium position will shift to the right toward the products.
Reason:
1) This problem is based on </span>Le Chatelier's principle. It is stated as '<em>any</em><span><em> changes in the temperature, volume, or concentration of a system will result in predictable and opposing changes in the system in order minimize this change and achieve a new equilibrium state.</em>'
2) In present case, the reaction involved is:
</span><span> CH3CO2H(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ CH3CO2-(aq) + H3O+(l)
</span>Hence, when the concentration of acetic acid (reactant) is increased, the equilibrium will shift to right to minimize the effect of change in concentration of reactant.
This correct option is C.
10^-2 = 0.001
8.7 * 10^-2 = 8.7 * 0.001 = 0.0087
Thus, 8.7 * 10^-2 is equivalent to 0.0087.
