Answer:

Paraffin > Heptadecane > Hexane > 2,2-dimethylbutane > Propane

Explanation:

It must first be establish that all the molecules listed in the question are alkanes. For alkanes, the intermolecular forces between the molecules of alkanes increases with increasing molecular weight. This is as a result of increase in the surface area of the molecule. Increase in surface area implies a greater degree of dispersion forces.

This is the reason why high boiling points are observed for high molecular weight alkanes.

The following molecular equation represents the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of silver(I) nitrate and calcium chl
dsp73

Answer:

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) —> AgCl(s)

Explanation:

2AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) —>2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq)

The balanced net ionic equation for the reaction above can be obtained as follow:

AgNO3(aq) and CaCl2(aq) will dissociate in solution as follow:

AgNO3(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

CaCl2(aq) —> Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) –>

2Ag+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) —> 2AgCl(s) + Ca2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)

Cancel out the spectator ions i.e Ca2+(aq) and 2NO3- to obtain the net ionic equation.

2Ag+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) —> 2AgCl(s)

Divide through by 2

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) —> AgCl(s)

The, the net ionic equation is

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) —> AgCl(s)

Do strong acid and strong base have similar effects on protein solubility and denaturation
mafiozo [28]
Both strong acid and strong base will alter the solubility and the nature of a protein. This is because, adding a strong acid or base to a protein will drastically change the pH of the protein and this will leads to formation of precipitation and denaturation of the protein.
