C8H18 bcz volatility depends upon intermolecular forces and alkanes have van der wall f.o.a and this force depends upon molar mass..Since c8h18 has lower molar mass so the force is less and intermolecular attraction is less.. So it can easily get vaporized . Therefore c8h18 is more volatile..

What is the chemical composition of furnace oil?

Furnace oil is not one single species of petrochemical. The hydrocarbon fuel is a mixture of compounds in the range of 14 to 20 carbon atoms. The chemical formula for some of the more common molecules of heating oil might be C14H30, C15H32, C16H34, C17H36, C18H38, C19H40, or C20H42.

Why do they call a carburetor a carburetor?

The word carburetor comes from the French carburemeaning "carbide".[1] Carburer means to combine with carbon. In fuel chemistry, the term has the more specific meaning of increasing the carbon (and therefore energy) content of a fuel by mixing it with a volatile hydrocarbon.


Is a short-chain hydrocarbon more viscous than a long chain hydrocarbon?

Typically the shorter the carbon chain, the LESS viscous the hydrocarbon. The longer the chain, the MORE viscous the hydrocarbon. For example consider the viscosity and molecular size in: Gasoline < Diesel < Motor Oil < Tar Viscosity increases with the molecular size and length of hydrocarbon chain.


What is the structural isomer of C8H18 with the lowest boiling point?

In organic chemistry, alkanes such as C8H18 have structural isomers. The more these isomers are branched the lower the boiling point is. The reason for this, is that un-branched alkanes have a higher mass area, they are more likely to have more potential points of attachments for other atoms or molecules which would then raise intramolecular forces thus increasing boiling points. The structural isomer of C8H18 that has the boiling point is systematically known as 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane.
