5. Which product is least likely to happen in a decomposition reaction?
a. two or more elements and compounds
b. one

c. a single product
d. a single compound

Does the energy in a solid increase or decrease when changing to a liquid?

The boiling point of propanoic acid is higher than that of 1-butanol because: propanoic acid has a higher molecular weight than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is more soluble in water than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is a better hydrogen bond donor than 1-butanol. propanoic acid forms hydrogen bonded dimers and 1-butanol does not. 1-butanol forms hydrogen bonded dimers and propanoic acid does not.
