Intermolecular forces are at work and determine boiling points.

In alkanes there are only carbon and hydrogen. The partial charge of the carbon of one molecule is only weakly attracted to the hydrogen partial charge of a neighbouring molecule. These weak intermolecular forces result in a low boiling point as they are easily broken.

Alcohol terminates on a OH group. The intermolecular forces between the partial charge of Oxygen and a hydrogen of a neighbouring molecule is significantly stronger, resulting in a significantly higher boiling point.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE for the citric acid titration?
RoseWind [281]

Under-titrating means too little indicator was added to the reaction.

TRUE

Since the volume of titrant is too small, multiplying by a small number in the calculation of citric acid makes the mass of citric acid too low.

TRUE

The reaction was stopped too quickly (before reaction was complete).

FALSE

Enter the electron configuration for I+ using noble gas shorthand notation.
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

[Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p4

Explanation:

The Symbol I represents Iodine. It has atomic number of 53. The full electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p5

However the question requested for the configuration of I+.

I+ is a cation and it simply refers to an iodine atom that has lost a single electron. The electronic configuration of I+ is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p4

Using Noble gas shorthand representation, we have;

[Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p4
