13. There is a very large difference between methanol and ethane in their boiling points despite their similarity in molar mass. Boiling points do not depend on the molar mass, instead it depends on the hydrogen bond. Methanol is an alcohol therefore it has hydrogen bonds, meaning that it will also obtain a high boiling point. Ethane is a gas therefore does not obtain hydrogen bonds which results in having a low boiling point. 14. a) The space elevator concept suggests that we must consider the cable’s material and design in order for the elevator to withstand the tension caused its own weight. That being said the cable is expected to be made out of strong and durable material designed in a specific way where the cable can hold the weight
Methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 1-butanol are alcohols that contain both London-dispersion forces and hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen
What material should the extension ladder be made of? Remember that if the work you do involves electricity, you should choose a fiberglass ladder, as this material does not conduct electricity, it will keep you safe and isolated from electrical
The advantage of this gripping system over the tape is that it doesn't lose its stickiness over time the way tape does. The researchers explained that this system should work well in all environments, including the extreme conditions in the outer space. The gripping system developed by JPL team will be able to withstand extreme pressures, temperatures, and
1-Pentanol has a boiling point of about 138C which is much greater than the Pentanal with 102C which caused by having OH polar group and it also allows 1-Pentanol to form hydrogen bonds with water, therefore increasing its intermolecular forces and eventually creating a high boiling point.
Most Americans this day and age has been tempted by the idea of unfaithfulness in a relationship. Whether that relationship was a marriage or a dating one, being unfaithful is certainly a topic that has to be dealt with. In Edith Wharton's, Ethan Frome, the main character of Ethan is faced with this decision. Ethan can be described as self-absorbed, gullible, and impulsive. These characteristics play a very important role in his decision. Despite these characteristics Ethan’s decision is not an easy one, because whatever he decides will forever affect him and the people around him lives forever.
Built by the Otis Elevator Company, the elevator functions with weights and by hand-pulled ropes, no electricity is needed.
fewest electrons, lowest boiling point. butane has more surface area in the liquid phase so more
Theoretically, when synthesising butyl ethanoate from butanol and ethanoic acid, the reaction should produce a 100% yield with the reaction running to completion and all of the reactants being converted to products. His however is not the case with this equilibrium reaction. As seen in the calculations, the actual yield of ester obtained from this procedure was 56.83%, a 43.17% difference from the desired product yield. This poor yield is partially the by-product of reaching equilibrium. Once the reaction mixture reaches this dynamic state, the concentrations of both the ethanoic acid and butanol reactants and butyl ethanoate product will remain constant as the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the back reaction. This means that only a limited percentage of ester can be obtained.
a) As the tension is increased (without changing anything else), does the number of segments increase or decrease?
Unlike ethane and ethylene adsorption which decreases with pore volume, the augmentation of pore size from IRMOF-1 to IRMOF-2 results in a increase in propylene and propane uptakeTotally by increasing pore volume in IRMOF-2, propylene and propane uptake be very higher than IRMOF-1 increasing pore volume from IRMOF-2 to IRMOF-3 and IRMOF-4 caused propylene and propane uptakes become
It is shaped in a way to transfer weight to the towers and anchors with its tension (O'Connor, 1971, p. 372). Cables are made of high strength wires spirally bound to form a rope (O'Connor, 1971, p. 372). Vertical cable suspenders that are fastened to the main cables hang the actual roadway. Stiffening girders and trusses are along the side of the bridge to distribute concentrated loads and help to keep the motion of the bridge at a minimum (Troitsky, 1994, p115).
Cars and gasoline are complements. Complements are pairs of goods that are used together. When the price of gasoline increase, demand oil based cars decrease. When the price of cars decrease, the demand oil increase. For example, oil crisis occurred in the United State in 2008 because of unstable economic such as soaring Chinese economic and elected new President in the United State. Furthermore, increasing unemployment and crashing stocks were dependent upon the oil crisis. Consequently, the price of gasoline increased, demand oil based cars decreased in the U.S. at that time. After this crisis, General Motors Company declared bankrupt in 2009. Detroit is one of the famous car industrial districts also filed for bankruptcy.
With the current technology mankind possesses, it isn’t feasible to build a space elevator, but scientists are making new discoveries concerning the cables and their ability to withstand forces that might just be happening to bring the elevator to pieces. Most recently carbon nanotubes were found to be the most sturdiest and strongest material in terms of elasticity and tensile (tether) strength, however, according to Keith Henson, a technologist and engineer whose written about space tech for about 4 decades, explains that “No current material exists with
Finding a place to put the elevator and finding material strong enough to support the elevator are two disadvantage that would cause the elevator to fail. The place to put the space elevator is one of the biggest problem in building it. There are specific conditions a space elevator would need to be situated in. A place where there is no extreme weather and natural disasters. The platform would have to be somewhere in the ocean close to the equator (Aravind 93). The reason why in the ocean is because there are less natural disasters and cases of extreme weather in the ocean than on land (Castillo et al.). Since, the platform
The rest of the pressure is supported by the cables. These vertical cables receive the bridge`s tension forces. The Golden Gate Bridge is a “textbook” suspension bridge (Lamb, Robert, and Michael Morrissey). Thus, with all of the designs and made, the Golden Gate Bridge was ready to be built.
