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.

How many grams are in 1.946 moles of nacl
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

113.8g

Explanation:

Statement of problem: mass of 1.946mole of NaCl

Given parameters:

Number of moles of NaCl = 1.946mole

Unknown: mass of NaCl

Solution

To find the mass of NaCl, we apply the concept of moles which expresses the relationship between number of moles and mass according to the equation below:

                        Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

To find the molar mass of NaCl:

                         the atomic mass of Na = 23g

                                atomic mass of Cl = 35.5g

                Molar mass of NaCl = (23 + 35.5) = 58.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of NaCl = Number of moles x molar mass of NaCl

Mass of NaCl = 1.946 x 58.5 = 113.8g

A compound is found to have an empirical formula of CH2O. If its molecular mass is 60.0 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?
denpristay [2]
The empirical formula CH₂O has a mass [(12 × 1) + (1 × 2) + (16 × 1)] = 30 g/mol

If the empirical formula is 30 g/mol,
and the molecular formula is 60 g/mol

Then the multiple is = 60 g/mol ÷ 30 g/mol 
                                = 2

Therefor the molecular formula is 2(CH₂O) = C₂H₄O₂   (OPTION 2)

What is the most likely result of the pollution of a fresh water resource?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Loss of biodiversity in the wetlands.

Explanation: Pollution can be defined as the emission of toxic, poisonous and harmful chemical substances which are capable of causing environmental degradation and contamination.

Nitrogen pollution enters Earth’s freshwater resources from a variety of human activities, including the use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture. This nitrogen pollution has a negative effect on plants and animals living in fresh water. Certain wetland plants, however, are able to purify the water and restore it to its non-polluted state.

Hence, what would most likely increase the negative effects of nitrogen pollution is a loss of biodiversity in the wetlands i.e the various species of animal and plants.

How many moles of nacl are required to make 250 ml of a 3.00 m solution?
choli [55]
The molarity is calculated using the following rule:
molarity = number of moles of solvent / volume of solution (in liters)

We have the volume of solution = 250 ml = 0.25 liters and the molarity = 3 m

Substituting in the equation, we get:
3 = number of moles / 0.25
number of moles = 3 x 0.25 = 0.75 moles
