(a)
Interpretation:
The member that is expected to have higher boiling point among the given pair has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohol is an organic compound that has hydroxyl as its
Boiling point depends upon hydrogen bonding in alcohols. If an alcohol has more than one hydroxyl group in it, then it is expected to have higher boiling point. As the length of the carbon chain increases, the boiling point of alcohol also increases.
(b)
Interpretation:
The member that is expected to have higher boiling point among the given pair has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohol is an organic compound that has hydroxyl as its functional group. Alcohols contain both nonpolar and polar groups in it. Hydroxyl group is the polar group and the alkyl group is the nonpolar group. Physical properties of alcohol depend on which of the two groups dominate.
Boiling point depends upon hydrogen bonding in alcohols. If an alcohol has more than one hydroxyl group in it, then it is expected to have higher boiling point. As the length of the carbon chain increases, the boiling point of alcohol also increases.

- The number of microstates corresponding to each macrostate is given by N. The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forwardHow many grams of C are combined with 3.75 ✕ 1023 atoms of H in the compound C5H12?arrow_forward
