Answer to Problem 12.55UTC

Solution: a) Butane melts at 1380C

b) Butane burns vigorously in air.

c) KCl melts at  7700C

d) KCl contains ionic bonds.

e) Butane is a gas at room temperature.

Explanation of Solution

a)

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life (5th Edition), Chapter 12, Problem 12.55UTC

Butane being organic covalent compound, its melting and boiling point is low. There is very weak van der Waal force. So, it melts at very low temperature which is 1380C

b)

As butane is a fuel so it undergoes combustion in presence of oxygen. It produces carbon dioxide and water along with huge amount of heat energy as per the following equation.

                      

   C4H10+6.5O24CO2+5H2O

c)
KCl being ionic compound, it has very strong force of electrostatic attraction and so it melts at very high temperature which is  7700C

d)
KCl is an ionic compound having ionic bond between  K+ and Cl

KCl is formed by complete electron transfer from K to Cl .

e)

Butane has very weak intermolecular force which is van der Waal force. Thus, it is a gas at room temperature.

Conclusion

Thus, all the properties are matched with respective compounds.
