Question

The boiling points of methane, ethane, propane and butane are given.

Which statement explains the increase in boiling point from methane to butane?

Answer/Explanation

Answer C

Question

Liquids X and Y do not react with one another. They have identical boiling points.

When a particular volume of X is shaken with a similar volume of Y, they form a liquid mixture Z. The average intermolecular forces in liquid Z are stronger than the average of the forces in X and the forces in Y.

Which deductions from this information are correct?

1 The mixing of X and Y is exothermic.
2 The vapour pressure of liquid Z will be less than that of either liquid X or liquid Y at the same temperature.
3 The boiling point of liquid Z will be lower than that of either liquid X or liquid Y at the same pressure.
