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.

If an ultraviolet photon has a wavelength of 77.8 nm calculate the energy of one mole ultraviolet photon.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

E = (hc)/(λ)

E = (6.624x10^(-27))Js x ((3×10^8)ms^(-1)) /

(77.8x10^(-9)m)

E = 2.55 x 10^(-11) J

How many grams of nitric acid will react completely with a block of iron metal that is 4.5 cm by 3.0 cm by 3.5 cm, if the densit
denpristay [2]

Balance the equation first: 

2 Fe+6 HNO3→2 Fe(NO3)3+3H2

Then calculate mass of Iron :

4.5×3.0×3.5 cm3(1 mL1 cm3)(7.87 g Fe1 ml)=371.86 g Fe

Now use Stoichiometry:

371.86 g Fe×(1 mol Fe55.85 g Fe)×(6 mol HNO32 mol Fe)=19.97 mol HNO3

Convert moles of nitric acid to grams

19.97 mol HNO3×(63.01 g HNO31 mol HNO3)=1258.3 g HNO3

Answer:

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over.
