Explain, in terms of particles, what happens when methane boils and why

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:Butane > ethane > methane, because between bigger molecules there are stronger van der Waals forces and also higher molar mass means they need to be given more energy to have enough kinetic energy to move quickly, freely in gas.

There are multiple butene isomers (Butene) and some (2-Butenes - cis and trans) actually have higher boiling point than n-Butane (there is also Isobutane, of course, with quite much lower boiling point than all of them) and some (1-Butene, Isobutylene) have lower, so this isn't really a fair or simple question. But on simplest level, it can again be said that 1-butene has lower boiling point because it has very similar shape but slightly lower molar mass (2H less) than n-butane.

How do core electrons relate to the ionization energy of the atom?

Archy [21]

Answer:

For any given element, ionization energy increases as subsequent electrons are removed. For example, the energy required to remove an electron from neutral chlorine is 1251 kJ/mol. ... An even sharper increase in ionization energy is witnessed when inner-shell, or core, electrons are removed.

Hope it helps :)

Which element is the excess reagent when 3.00 moles of Mg is ignited in 2.20 moles of pure oxygen

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Oxygen is in excess.

Explanation:

The coefficients of the balanced equation create a mole ratio that shows the ratio of how many reactants are used up and products are created.

The mole ratio of Mg to O2 in this equation is 2:1, which means that for every two moles of Mg used, there will be 1 mole of O2 used.

If we have 3.00 moles of Mg, we will only need 1.5 moles of oxygen to completely burn the Mg. Therefore, when all 3.00 moles of Mg are used, there will still be some of the 2.20 moles of oxygen remaining.
