Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.72AP
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The differences in boiling points of heptanes and pentane.
Introduction:
The point where substance starts boiling and turns into vapor is called boiling point.
Pentane is an
Heptane is a straight chain alkane. Its chemical formula is
Boiling point of pentane is
The molecules that have strong bond with each other through intermolecular forces like hydrogen bond, weak London forces, covalent bonding do not achieve the kinetic energy, which is required to escape the liquid state. Hence molecules with strong intermolecular forces have higher boiling point.
