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

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.

(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.

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.

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

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

Last Answer : Ans. As the branching increases, the surface area of an alkane approaches that of a sphere. Since a sphere has minimum surface area, therefore, Vander Waal forces of attraction are minimum and hence the boiling point of the alkane decreases with branching.

(3) made cathode and a pure nickel red, the anode Explanation: Electroplating is the deposition by electrolysis of a coating of metal upon a conducting surface. The simplest system makes the object to be plated the negative electrode (cathode) or plate in a galvanic couple. Thus a spoon or other object may be connected by a wire to a plate of nickel. The process that occurs on the spoon is called reduction and, therefore, the spoon is also referred to as a cathode.
