The boiling points for a set of compounds in a homologous series can be qualitatively predicted using intermolecular force strengths. Using their condensed structural formulas, rank the homologous series for a set of alkanes by their boiling point.

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Alkane                      Formula                    Boiling point (°C)

Methane                   CH₄                                     -162

Ethane                      CH₃CH₃                               - 89

Propane                    CH₃CH₂CH₃                        - 42

Butane                      CH₃(CH₂)₂CH₃                     - 0.5

Pentane                    CH₃(CH₂)₃CH₃                      36

Hexane                     CH₃(CH₂)₄CH₃                      69

Heptane                    CH₃(CH₂)₅CH₃                      98

Octane                      CH₃(CH₂)₆CH₃                     126

Nonane                     CH₃(CH₂)₇CH₃                      151

Decane                      CH₃(CH₂)₈CH₃                     174

in the given question, the partial pressure is calculated by using the ideal gas equation, that is, pv = nrt

here, p is pressure, v is volume = 25 l, n is number of moles = 0.0104 moles, r is gas constant = -0.0821 l.atm / mol.k

t is temperature = 273 k

p = nrt / v

p = (0.0104 mol × 0.0821 l.atm / mol.k × 273 k) / 25 l

= 0.0093 atm
