Which characteristic of the compound C5H12 causes it to have a higher normal boiling point than C2H6?

Predominantly its higher molecular mass. The higher mass of a molecule of C5H12 requires more energy to cause it to move fast enough to escape its intermolecular bonding than does the lower mass C2H6 molecule. The intermolecular bonding itself may be stronger in the higher molecular mass molecule, but this is relatively minor compared with the difference in molecular mass.

Is the boiling point higher for compounds with a high viscosity?
Viscosity is the thickness of the compound. The thicker the compound the higher the intermolecular forces. The higher the intermolecular forces the higher the boiling point is.
Does sugar affect the boiling point of water?
Adding sugar to boiling water it will increase the boiling temperature very slightly
Does chlorine or oxygen has higher boiling point?
Chlorine has higher boiling point.
At sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius while methane boils at negative 161 degrees Celsius Which has a stronger attraction between particles?
Water because water has the highest boiling point, < anything.
Does reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a higher temperature?
The higher the vapor pressure of a liquid at a given temperature, the lower the normal boiling point (i.e., the boiling point at atmospheric pressure) of the liquid.
Is the boiling point higher for compounds with a high viscosity?
Viscosity is the thickness of the compound. The thicker the compound the higher the intermolecular forces. The higher the intermolecular forces the higher the boiling point is.
Why does 0.300 M KCl have a higher boiling point that 0.500 M glucose?
KCl is an ionic compound and glucose is a molecular compound. Ionic compounds have higher boiling points than molecular compounds.
Will a compound with a boiling of 68C is likely to be a network structure or in the form of individual molecules?
Because the boiling point of the compound is relatively low, the compound is likely to be in the form of individual molecules.
How does altitude effect boiling points?
The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point. Boiling occurs when the atmospheric pressure equals the vapor pressure. So, at higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the vapor pressure is also lower which in turn creates a lower boiling point which causes foods to have to cook longer.
Which compound has a higher boiling point NF3 or NH3?
Ammonia: -33,34 0C Nitrogen trifluoride: -129 0C
What happens to the boiling point of a solution as the concentraion increases?
Boiling-point elevation describes the phenomenon that the boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when another compound is added, meaning that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent. This happens whenever a non-volatile solute, such as a salt, is added to a pure solvent, such as water. The boiling point can be measured accurately using an ebullioscope.
Does sugar affect the boiling point of water?
Adding sugar to boiling water it will increase the boiling temperature very slightly
Which compound has the higher boiling point cf4 chf3?
These boiling points are:* CF4: -127,8 0C* CHF3: -82,1 0C
How is high melting and boiling points related to the structure of the compounds?
The structure of a compound will dictate what intermolecular forces hold the molecules together. The stronger these forces, the higher will be the boiling point.
Does chlorine or oxygen has higher boiling point?
Chlorine has higher boiling point.
At sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius while methane boils at negative 161 degrees Celsius Which has a stronger attraction between particles?
Water because water has the highest boiling point, < anything.
Does ethanol has the lower boiling point?
It depends what chemical or compound you are comparing the boiling point to. Ethanol has an atmospheric pressure boiling point of 78.1 °C (172.6 °F). This is slightly lower than the boiling point of water at the same pressure, much lower than the boiling point of iron, much higher than the boiling point of bromine.
