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.

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.

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.
