Answer:
A
Explanation:
Hydrocarbons with short chain lengths are more volatile than those with longer chains. A practical example of this can be seen in the first few members of the alkane series. They are mostly gaseous in nature and this is quite a contrast to the next few members which are solid in nature.
As we move down the group, we can see that there is an increase in the number of solids. Hence, as we go down the group we can see a relative increase in order and thus we expect more stability at room temperature compared to the volatility of the shorter chain
The correct answer is: [C]: "Br" {"bromine"} .

Answer:
d. 60.8 L
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Heat absorbed (Q): 53.1 J
- External pressure (P): 0.677 atm
- Final volume (V2): 63.2 L
- Change in the internal energy (ΔU): -108.3 J
Step 2: Calculate the work (W) done by the system
We will use the following expression.
ΔU = Q + W
W = ΔU - Q
W = -108.3 J - 53.1 J = -161.4 J
Step 3: Convert W to atm.L
We will use the conversion factor 1 atm.L = 101.325 J.
-161.4 J × 1 atm.L/101.325 J = -1.593 atm.L
Step 4: Calculate the initial volume
First, we will use the following expression.
W = - P × ΔV
ΔV = - W / P
ΔV = - 1.593 atm.L / 0.677 atm = 2.35 L
The initial volume is:
V2 = V1 + ΔV
V1 = V2 - ΔV
V1 = 63.2 L - 2.35 L = 60.8 L
Answer:
The experimenter observed this experiment in a lab rather than natural world because it might be dangerous to the atmosphere if he does the experiment in the natural world and it was still an hypothesis so that's why he did it in the lab.
