What happens to the boiling point of hydrocarbon compounds when the number of carbon atom increases

1 answer:

3 0

The boiling points of alkanes increases with increasing number of carbons. This is because the intermolecular attractive forces, although individually weak, become cumulatively more significant as the number of atoms and electrons in the molecule increases.

So therefore your answer choice will increase. (B)

Which process is caused by an increase in thermal energy

Over [174]

Answer:

They're different - heat and thermal energy. ... The heat, in turn, speeds up the molecules within the pot and the water. If you place a thermometer in the water, as the water heats up, you can watch the temperature rise. Again, an increase in internal energy will result in an increase in temperature.

Estimate the heat of neutralization of H3PO4 in kJ/mol given these data: Heat transferred = 2.5 x 102 J Moles of H3PO4 = 1.4 x 1

OlgaM077 [116]

Below are the steps to get the answers:

<span>1.) write out the balance equation 3NaOh+H3PO4->Na3PO4+3H2O

2.) You are given everything needed to calculate q=heat transfer=2.2*10^2, H3PO4 moles= 1.5*10^-3, NaOH moles=5.0*10^-3

3.) equation is deltaHneutraliztion=q/Moles of limiting reagent H3PO4 is limiting reagent because lowest moles, and is used up first

4.) Now plug in variables DeltaH=2.2*10^2(1.5*10^3)= 146.67kj/mole Notice we had to convert J to kj, </span>

Write an equation that shows the formation of the chloride ion from a neutral chlorine atom

jeka57 [31]

The gaining of electron by an atom results in the formation of anion shown by the negative charge on the atom whereas lose of electron results in the formation of cation shown by positive charge on the atom. The atom lose or gain electron to complete their octet and get stable in nature.

The chlorine atom will gain an electron and form chloride anion with one negative charge on it. The chloride ion is more stable in nature compared to the chlorine atom due to complete octet of chloride ion by gaining of electron.

Electronic configuration of chlorine atom is:

$[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{5}$

By gaining of one electron, electronic configuration of chloride ion is:

$[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{6}$

Thus, the equation that shows the formation of the chloride ion from a neutral chlorine atom is:

$Cl+1e^{-}\rightarrow Cl^{-}$
