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.

REY [17]
The solution to the problem is as follows:

 <span>a) 

C + O2 = CO2 

Molar mass CO2 = 44 g/mol 

3.67 g CO2 * 1 mol / 44 g = 

=0.0834 mol CO2 = 0.0834 mol C
