Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

2-methylbutane, pentane and 2,2-dimethylpropane should be arranged in increasing order of boiling point.

Concept Introduction:

The compound containing longest parent chain of carbon having high boiling point due to the bulkiness of the structure while the compound containing shortest parent chain of carbon having low boiling point.

Moreover, straight chain has large surface area which increases the possibility of area of contact with other chain which results in higher Vander Waal forces between them and thus increases the boiling point.

Thus, on increasing branching, due to decrease in surface area, boiling point decreases.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

3,3-dimethylheptane, nonane, 2,2,4-trimethylhexane should be arranged according to increasing boiling point.

Concept Introduction:

The compound containing longest parent chain of carbon having high boiling point due to the bulkiness of the structure while the compound containing shortest parent chain of carbon having low boiling point.

Moreover, straight chain has large surface area which increases the possibility of area of contact with other chain which results in higher Vander Waal forces between them and thus increases the boiling point. Thus, on increasing branching, due to decrease in surface area, boiling point decreases.

The data for the potential difference of a battery and its temperature are given in the table. Calculate the entropy change in J mol-1 K-1 (indicate the formulas used).Data: F = 96485 C mol-1
In a cell, the change in entropy (AS) can be calculated from the slope of the E° vs 1/T graph. The slope is equal to -AS/R, where R is the gas constant. Is this correct?
Using the Arrhenius equation, it is possible to establish the relationship between the rate constant (k) of a chemical reaction and the temperature (T), in Kelvin (K), the universal gas constant (R), the pre-exponential factor (A) and the activation energy (Ea). This equation is widely applied in studies of chemical kinetics, and is also widely used to determine the activation energy of reactions. In this context, the following graph shows the variation of the rate constant with the inverse of the absolute temperature, for a given chemical reaction that obeys the Arrhenius equation. Based on the analysis of this graph and the concepts acquired about the kinetics of chemical reactions, analyze the following statements:              I. The activation energy (Ea) varies with the temperature of the system.   II. The activation energy (Ea) varies with the concentration of the reactants.        III. The rate constant (K) varies proportionally with temperature.    IV. The value of the…
