The carbon skeleton of pentane contains 5 carbon atoms, the carbon skeleton of heptane contains 7 carbon atoms. The main reason for increased boiling point are London dispersion forces, these increase the with the number of electrons- so as heptane has more electrons its dispersion forces are greater and the boiling point is higher. Another contributory factor is the mass as the molecule of heptane is heavier and this means it takes more energy to get it to vaporise.
Heptane has 7 carbon atoms. So it has a greater surface area than methanol. Therefor heptane has a higher boiling point.In general, all else being equal the higher the molecular weight, the higher the boiling point. The molecular weight of methanol is 32, the molecular weight of heptane is 100. So, ignoring everything but that, you'd expect heptane to have a higher boiling point than methanol.A better question might be "why is the boiling point of methanol so much higher than that of ethane, which has a similar molecular weight (30)?" The answer to that is hydrogen bonding.
Yes, chlorine has a higher boiling point than iodine. Chlorine has a boiling point of -34.6 degrees Celsius, while iodine has a boiling point of 184 degrees Celsius.
No, LiCl (Lithium chloride) will not have a higher boiling point than water. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, whereas the boiling point of LiCl is significantly higher at 1382 degrees Celsius.
Ethanol (C2H5OH) has a higher boiling point compared to methyl ether (CH3OCH3) due to hydrogen bonding in ethanol. Hydrogen bonding results in stronger intermolecular forces in ethanol, requiring more energy to overcome, hence a higher boiling point.
Higher boiling point and a lower freezing point. These are called colligative properties. When a solute is put into solution with the solvent, there is a change in the vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, elevation of the boiling point, and depression of the freezing point.
The boiling point of a mixture of heptane and heptanol will be between the boiling points of the individual components due to their different boiling points. The exact boiling point of the mixture will depend on the relative proportions of heptane and heptanol in the mixture. It will likely be lower than the boiling point of heptanol and higher than the boiling point of heptane.
The C7H16 isomer with the highest boiling point is heptane. This is because heptane has a linear structure with stronger London dispersion forces compared to its branched isomers, resulting in higher boiling points due to increased surface contact between molecules.

Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because octane has a larger number of carbon atoms than propane
Hexane and pentane can be separated using fractional distillation because they have different boiling points. Hexane has a higher boiling point (68.7°C) than pentane (36.1°C), so by heating the mixture, the pentane will vaporize first and can be collected and condensed separately from the hexane.
Yes, unless you mean 40oC. That is because the boiling point of pentane is 36.1oC (97oF). So above the boiling point temperature pentane would exist as a gas.
The boiling point of hexane is higher than that of pentane because hexane has a larger molecular mass and stronger London dispersion forces between its molecules. These stronger intermolecular forces require more energy to overcome, resulting in a higher boiling point for hexane compared to pentane.
Since Heptane has a boiling point of 98 degrees Celsius, and Heptanol has a boiling point of 176 degrees Celsius, you'd evaporate or boil the Heptane and Heptanol mixture to around 120 degrees Celsius. Which would leave the Heptanol behind and have the Heptane evaporated.
Octane. The boiling point of straight-chain alkanes increases within its homologous series (meaning methane has a lower boiling point than ethane, which is lower than propane, etc). Hexane : Boiling Point 69 o C Octane : Boiling Point 125.5 o C
It is because n-pentane is a straight chain hydrocarbon meaning it has more surface area to reach the boiling point, neopentane has significantly less surface area that's why it will boil quicker than n-pentane. The more branched molecule, the lower is its boiling point will be & the less branched molecule, the higher its boiling point will be. For combustion energy the opposite holds true, the more branched molecule has a higher energy than an unbranched one.Hope You Like My Answer...By rananeeraj168@gmail.com in facebook
Ethene, propene and butene. Ethene's boiling point is -104 Propene's " " " -48 But-1-ene " " " -6 Pentene being the alkene with the lowest number of carbons which is a liquid at room temperature (boiling point 30) So hot countries may count this as a gas!! Found on wiki, do some research and dont be lazy!!
somewhere around 56 degrees C
