question
Place these hydrocarbons in order of decreasing boiling point. Rank from highest to lowest boiling point. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. hexadecane, C16H34 paraffin, C25H52 octane, C8H18 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, C8H18 propane, C2H8
answer
(even using the picture is enough, but looking up boiling points works also) Greatest -> Least 1) paraffin, C25H52 2) hexadecane, C16H34 3) octane, C8H18 4) 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, C8H18 5) propane, C2H8
question
When popcorn is heated over a flame, the kernel burst open. Why does this occur? -The skin of the kernel is expanding. -The flesh of the corn is expanding. -The air and water vapor inside the corn kernel is expanding.
answer
The air and water vapor inside the corn kernel is expanding.
question
A substance with a fixed volume and fixed shape is a __________.
answer
solid
question
A substance with a fixed volume and no fixed shape is a _________.
answer
liquid
question
A substance with no fixed volume or shape
answer
gas
question
Rank these items in order from greatest mass, to the least mass, from left to right. (greatest -> lease) 1 L of substance in the solid phase 1 L of substance in the liquid phase 1 L of substance in the gas phase
answer
1 L of substance in the solid phase = 1 L of substance in the liquid phase (least mass) 1 L of substance in the gas phase

answer
Hydrogen Bonding
question
What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: dichloromethane (CH2Cl2)?
answer
Dipole-Dipole
question
What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: carbon tetrafluoride (CF4)?
answer
London - Dispersion Force
question
The liquid that causes the greatest height differential (h) in the manometer has the _____ vapor pressure and therefore the _____ intermolecular forces.
answer
greatest vapor pressure weakest intermolecular forces
question
Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. In other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and there is less air pressure pushing down on you when you are on a mountain. If hexane (C6H14), heptane (C7H16), and heptanol (C7H15OH) are heated evenly at different altitudes, rank them according to the order in which you would expect them to begin boiling. Rank from first to last. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
answer
hexane at high altitude heptane at high altitude heptane at sea level heptanol at sea level

answer
dispersion forces
question
The forces between polar molecules is known as ________.
answer
dipole-dipole forces
question
What is the strongest type of intermolecular force present in NH2CH3?
answer
We do have Dipole-Dipole, Dispersion, and Hydrogen Bonding. But, remember that I H D L order, meaning that Hydrogen Bonding is the strongest
