Description : What effect does branching of an alkane chain has on its boiling point?

Last Answer : Ans. As branching increases, the surface area of the molecule decreases which results in a small area of contact. As a result, the Van der Waals force also decreases which can be overcome at ... lower temperature. Hence, the boiling point of an alkane chain decreases with an increase in branching.

Description : Is it possible to isolate pure staggered ethane or pure eclipsed ethane at room temperature? Explain .

Last Answer : The energy differences between staggered and eclipsed forms of ethane is just 12.55 kj mol_1 which is easily met by collisions of the molecules at room temperature. Therefore, it is not possible to isolate either pure staggered or pure eclipsed ethane at room temperature.

Description : Which of the following has highest boiling point and why?(L-II) (a) 2 methylpentane (b) 2,3 dimethyl butane (c) 2,2 dimythylbutane

Last Answer : Ans. As the branching increases, surface area decreases. As a result, magnitude of Vander Waals forces of attraction decreases and hence the boiling point decreases. Thus, the overall order of decreasing boiling point is: 2 methylpentane (333k) > 2,3 dimethylbutane (331k) > 2,2 dimethylbutane(323k)

Description : Why do the C-C bonds rather than C-H bonds break during cracking of alkanes?

Last Answer : Ans. Since the bond dissociation energy of C-C bonds (348kj /mol) is lower than bond dissociation energy of C-H bonds (414kj/mol), therefore, during cracking of alkanes, C-C bonds break more early than C-H bonds.

Description : (a) What effect the branching of an alkane has on its melting point? (L-III) (b) Which of the following has highest boiling point?(L-III) (1) 2-methyl pentane. (2) 2, 3-diethyl butane. (3) 2, 2- dimethyl butane.

Last Answer : Ans.(a) In general conception, as the branching increases packing of the molecules in the crystals becomes less close and have melting point decreases accordingly. (b) As the branching increases, ... attraction decreases and hence the boiling point decreases. So, 2-methyl pentane has highest B.pt.
