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.

.​Find the pH if the [H3O+1] is 6.2  10-10 M
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The pH is 9,21.

Explanation:

The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and higher than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as

pH = -log (H 30+)

pH= -log (6,2 x 10^-10)

<em>pH=9,21</em>
