Why does water boil at a higher temperature than butane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the Molecular Structure of Water (H₂O) is a polar molecule with a bent shape, consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Butane (C₄H₁₀), on the other hand, is a nonpolar molecule composed of four carbon atoms bonded to ten hydrogen atoms. The polar nature of water molecules allows them to form stronger intermolecular forces compared to the nonpolar butane molecules.

Intermolecular Forces: Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds, which are relatively strong electrostatic attractions between the positively charged hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the negatively charged oxygen atom of another water molecule. These hydrogen bonds require more energy to break, resulting in a higher boiling point for water. Butane molecules are held together by weaker van der Waals forces, which are temporary dipole-dipole interactions between nonpolar molecules. As a result, butane boils at a lower temperature compared to water.

Why does distilled water taste so bad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Distilled water contains only hydrogen and oxygen molecules and it doesnt contain any of the minerals that normal water contains. Normal water contains minerals such as calcium and iron.

It probably tastes so bad because the minerals have been taken out of it.

I hope this helped :)

Is cylclohexane organic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES!!! Definitely.

Cyclohexane is is a 6-membered ring like, benzene,. However, the bonds are all single bonds between both carbons and carbon hydrogen/

Since it contains CARBON it is an ORGANIC molecule.

What are the exceptions for classifying organic compounds?

User Avatar

Asked by Bluebabies123

the exceptions of organic compounds are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, carbides, and thyocyanates, which are considered inorganic.

Which book is better for organic chemistry iit preparation Solomon and Fryhle or Morrison and Boyd or Paula Bruice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For IIT JEE organic chemistry preparation, Morrison and Boyd is considered a comprehensive and widely used textbook. It covers the fundamental concepts in detail and is a good resource for a thorough understanding of the subject. However, Paula Bruice's book is also highly recommended for its clear explanations and practice problems. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your learning style and preference.

Which is better pulp or no pulp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The choice between pulp or no pulp in juice is purely subjective and depends on individual preference. Pulp adds fiber and texture to juice, while no pulp provides a smoother consistency. Ultimately, it comes down to personal taste.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Anarchist Cookbook is a book that was published in 1971 containing instructions on how to create improvised weapons, explosives, and drugs, as well as information on radical activism and protest tactics. It has been criticized for its dangerous and illegal content, and many consider it to be a controversial and potentially harmful publication.

Why is KNO3 and CCL4 not miscible?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

KNO3 is potassium nitrate. It is an IONIC compound which dissolved in water.

CCl4 is tetrachloromethane, it is a COVALENT compound, which is misxible in organic solvents.

Is CCL4 hydrocarbon and organic componud?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes!!! Because it contains CARBOB . All organic chemistry is based on carbon compounds.

CCl4 is 'Tetrachloromethan' ( archaically 'Crbon tetrachloride).

It is methane (CH4) with the four hydrogens substituted with chlorine.

What phenol is phenol used in?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Phenol is used in various applications such as a disinfectant in household cleaners and mouthwash, in chemical peels for skin treatments, as food and cosmetic preservatives, and in the production of carbolic soap. it's also used for the permanent treatment of ingrown toes and fingernails, a procedure known as chemical matrixectomy. moreover, it is utilized in many industries, such as plastic, resin, and cosmetics

How do you draw the isomers of C5H11OH?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can have the alcohol functional group (-OH) on the end of the chain or or it can be on any carbon in the chain .

e.g.

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH ( pentan-1-ol)

CH3CH2CH2CH(OH)CH3 ( pentan-2-ol)

CH3CH2CH(OH)CH2CH3 ( pentan-3-ol)

What is the first member of the alkene family?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ethene means it has two carbon atoms in it.but we know,alkene must contain double bond at least for once somewhere in the carbon chain.But hydrogen atoms dont form double bonds.so methene can't be the 1st member bcoz it can't formdouble bonds as there is no other carbon and only hydrogn atoms.so,ethene is the 1st member where it can form one carbon carbon doble bond with the two carbon atoms present.and there is no such thing as methene,i suppose.....

Is methane organic or inorgaic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

DEFINITELY Organic. because it contains carbon(C) as CH4 .

Remember in chemistry

#1 ; ORGANIC is the chemistry of CARBON compounds

#2 ; INORGANIC is the chemistry of all other non-carbon containing compounds.

#3 ; PHYSICAL the chemistry of energy , calculations, stoichiometry, reaction equations.

Asked by Wiki User

All the carbohydrates are aliphatic compounds.

In a molecule of methane carbon (having four valence electrons) binds to four hydrogen atoms. How many lone pairs of electrons will be represented in the Lewis structure of methane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NONE!!! Each bonding electron in carbon is paired with the bonding electron in each of the four hydrogens. So there are no lone pairs.

Is cyclohexane and alkane or alkene?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cyclohexane is a six-carbon cyclic compound with the formula C6H12. In its planar representation, it looks like a regular hexagon, but in its 3D representation, it takes on either a chair or boat conformation. It has many uses in organic and analytical chemistry.

What causes a grain silo explosion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Too much grain dust.

A spark in grain dust will create a 'flash'. There by an explosion.

In coal mines, miners referred to 'fire damp' . This is a mixture of very fine coal dust particles, methane and oxygen. A spark across it would cause a big explosion.

Miners tested for 'fire damp' using canaries (birds). Canaries are very sensative to atmospheric changes. In a coal mine if 'fire damp' is prersent the canary would possibly faint and fall off its perch, until restored to clean oxygen(air).

Have you ever seen the 'custard tin' explosion. The very fine particles of custard powder, could be ignited and blow the lid off the tin.
