Quiz 2

Question 1

Alkanes

Answer 1

• Flammable! Undergoes combustion reactions
• Nonpolar
• Melting and boiling points are directly proportional to the strength of intermolecular forces
• Strength of London dispersion forces between molecules are directly proportional to the surface area of the molecules

Question 2

Flammable! Undergoes combustion reactions

Answer 2

alkane + O2 (excess) = CO2 (g) + H2O (g) + energy

alkane + O2 (difficient) = C (s) + 2 H2O (g)
 CO (g) + 2 H2O (g)

Question 3

Nonpolar

Answer 3

• Immiscible (i.e. do mix) with water or other polar molecules
• Very weak London dispersioin forces keep molecules attracted to one another

Question 4

Strength of London dispersion forces between molecules are directly proportional to the surface area of the molecules

Answer 4

• Boiling points increase substantially with molecular weight
• Boiling points decrease somewhat with braching; i

Question 23

cis-2-butene

Answer 23

BP = 277 K

Question 24
