boiling point 102°C freezing point –2°C
We shall now look at the molecular origin of the lowering of the freezing point and elevation of the boiling point. First of all, we know that the entropy of ...

Step 1, pick out the important information from the question: Carbon: Hydrogen: Oxygen % by weight: 64.8: 13.62: 21.58 Step 2, from the periodic table, find out the relative atomic masses of each element:...

A catalyst is something that speeds up the rate of reaction, without being consumed during the reaction. If a catalyst is used in a reaction, it will only speed up the forward and backward reaction, howev...

C atomic mass-12 C percentage by composition: 53% Atomic ratio of C: 53/12= 4.417 H atomic mass-1 H percentage by composition: 3.9% Atomic ratio of H:...

Xenon is further down Group 8 of the Periodic Table than Neon, hence has its outermost electrons in higher energy shells further away from the nucleus. Therefore, there are more full inte...
