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.

Calculate the mass of Cr(ClO2)2 that contains 5.57 × 10<br> ^22 chlorine atoms.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Your strategy here will be to

use the chemical formula of carbon dioxide to find the number of molecules of

CO

2

that would contain that many atoms of oxygen

use Avogadro's constant to convert the number of molecules to moles of carbon dioxide

use the molar mass of carbon dioxide to convert the moles to grams

So, you know that one molecule of carbon dioxide contains

one atom of carbon,

1

×

C

two atoms of oxygen,

2

O

This means that the given number of atoms of oxygen would correspond to

Now, one mole of any molecular substance contains exactly

molecules of that substance -- this is known as Avogadro's constant.

In your case, the sample of carbon dioxide molecules contains

1 mole CO

Finally, carbon dioxide has a molar mass of

What is the molarity of the potassium hydroxide if 25.25 mL of KOH is required to neutralize 0.500 g of oxalic acid, H2C2O4? H2C
Greeley [361]

Answer:

0.444 mol/L

Explanation:

First step is to find the number of moles of oxalic acid.

n(oxalic acid) = \frac{0.5g}{90.03 g/mol} = 5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\

Now use the molar ratio to find how many moles of NaOH would be required to neutralize 5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\ of oxalic acid.

n(oxalic acid): n(potassium hydroxide)

         1           :            2                  (we get this from the balanced equation)

5.5537*10^{-3} mol\\ : x

x = 0.0111 mol

Now to calculate what concentration of KOH that would be in 25 mL of water:

c = \frac{number of moles}{volume} = \frac{0.0111}{0.025} = 0.444 mol/L

A chemist has some 40% acid solution, some 60% acid solution, and a wholebunch of free time. How many liters of each should be u
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.

Explanation:

Let volume of the 40% acid solution be x.

Let volume of the 60% acid solution be y.

Volume of solution formed after mixing both solution = 40 L

x + y = 40 L..[1]

Volume of acid 40% solution = 40% of x= 0.4x

Volume of acid 60% solution = 60% of y= 0.6y

Volume of acid formed = 45% of 40 L = \frac{45}{100}\times 40=18L

0.4x+0.6y=18 L..[2]

Solving [1] and [2]

x = 30 L  ,   y = 10 L

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.
