Explain why distillation is a good way to separate C8H18 and C5H12 liquids?

both of these are liquid hydrocarbons so have the same chemical properties therefore can not beseparated by chemical means by physical means their separation is not possible by filtration because both are miscible so only method to separate them is fractional distillation because they have different boiling points.

What is the physical state of the smallest alkanes at room temperature?
Alkanes with a carbon chain of 5 up to 17 are liquids. So the set of liquid alkanes begins with pentane, C5H12.
What is the name of C5H12?
the non-branched alkane is called n-pentane. other possible isomers are possible and are named according to their structures. for example, if we branched one carbon from the second carbon in the main chain the name would change to 2-methyl-butane.
How many isomers does pentanol have?
12 isomers can be formed. 1-pentene cis-2-pentene and trans-2-pentene 2-methyl-1-butene 3-methyl-1-butene 2-methyl-2-butene 1,1-dimethylcyclopropane (1R, 2R)-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane (1S, 2S)-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane methylcyclobutane cyclopentane and ethylcyclopropane
What is the chemical formula is pentene?
Pentane is C5H12 The Structure is as follows. CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3
Is nonane gas at room temperature?
Yes. ********************** 2nd Opinion: No. The alkanes are liquids at room temp. and pressure starting with pentane, C5H12. Since nonane, C9H20, is beyond that, it has to be a liquid, not a gas.
Write a balaced chemical eqution for the combustion of liquid pentane C5H12?
C5h12 + 8o2 --> 5co2 + 6h2o
Is C5H12 a Lewis base?
No
How do you balance C5H12 O2 yield CO H₂O?
measure the balance of C5H12.what is O2, CO, H2O
Is C5H12 a gas?
yes, Pentane
What does c5h12 stand for?
the surface proteins on viruses
What is the name of the molecular compound C5H12?
Pentane
Structural Isomers of C5H12 name?
Pentane
What are alkane liquids that are continuous chains?
At normal pressure, the alkanes pentane (C5H12) through decane (C10H22) are liquids. Alkanes are organic compounds consisting of a single carbon chain of single covalently bonded carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms.
How many different structural isomers are there for a hydrocarbon with the formula c5h12?
There are 3 isomers of C5H12[pentane] They are 1st- N pentane, 2nd- Isopentane/Dimethylbutane, and 3rd Neopentane/Dimethylpropane
What material is pentane?
Pentane is an alkane; its formula is C5H12.
