Hydrogen bridges (C-O-H) in methanol and water (H-O-H) 'like' each other (attraction!) and octane doesn't have any. (H-C and C-C are covalent, non-polar).

What type of intermolecular forces are dominant in octane?

The dominant intermolecular forces in octane are London dispersion forces. These are relatively weak forces that result from temporary fluctuations in electron distribution within atoms and molecules.


Will CaCl2 dissolve in octane?

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is not soluble in octane (C8H18). Sodium chloride is only soluble in water (H2O), methanol (CH4O), formic acid (CH2O2), formamide (CH3NO), glycerol(C3H8O3), propelyne glycol (C3H8O2), and ammonia (NH3).


Are short hydrocarbon molecules volatile?

Yes, short hydrocarbon molecules are typically volatile because they have low molecular weights and weaker intermolecular forces, allowing them to easily evaporate into the air at room temperature. Examples of short hydrocarbon molecules include methane, ethane, and propane.


Is methyl octane alcohol alkane or alkenes?

Alcohol is an Oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbonyl group. As such, there is no such thing as 'Methyl Octane Alcohol'. However, there is Methyl Alcohol and Octyl Alcohol. Please edit your question. Also: If you are asking if Methyl Alcohol is miscible (dissoluble) in octane, it is. Alkanes are hydrocarbons only, so both octane and the methyl group in methanol (methyl alcohol) are alkanes.


Which is expected to have the largest dispersion forces CO2 C8H18 N2 C2H6?

C8H18 (octane) is expected to have the largest dispersion forces among these molecules due to its larger number of electrons and greater molecular weight, leading to stronger London dispersion forces.

What is the octane rating of methanol?

The octane rating of methanol depends on the octane rating scale measurement type used, n-Heptane is the zero point of the octane rating scale then the octane rating of methanol is 115


What kind of intermolecular forces exist between octane molecules?

Van der Waals forces, specifically London dispersion forces, exist between octane molecules. These forces are weak compared to other intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding, but they are sufficient to hold octane molecules together in a liquid state.


Is octane miscible in methane?

Octane is immiscible in methane because they have different intermolecular forces and polarities. Octane is a nonpolar molecule, while methane is also nonpolar. They will not mix together to form a homogeneous solution.


Rank the following in order of increasing solubility in water Methanol. CH3OH Octane C8H18 Carbon tetrachloride CCl4?

Octane < Carbon tetrachloride < Methanol


Which has more viscosity methane or octane?

Octane has higher viscosity compared to methane. This is because octane is a larger molecule with more molecular interactions, leading to greater resistance to flow than methane, which is a smaller molecule with weaker intermolecular forces.


Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because?

Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because octane has a larger number of carbon atoms than propane


Why does octane have a higher boiling point then water?

Octane is a straight chain molecule with a large surface area and stacks easily with other octane molecules. This increases the strength of the London dispersion forces that keep the octane molecules attracted to each other. The London dispersion forces on octane are greater than for smaller straight chain molecules because octane is both heavier and has more electrons that make it more polarizable.


1989 Suzuki Vitara fuel type?

can run any type of fuel. no less than 91 octane unleaded and i think 86 octane leaded. also can run higher octane and a fuel mixture of 10% ethanol or 5% methanol.


How does molecule size affect boiling point?

With a bigger size there are stronger London forces. London forces are also known as Dispersion forces and van der Waal forces. These forces become stronger as the size of the molecule increases. Butane, C4H10, is a gas with a relative size of 58 and a boiling point of ~ -1 ºC. Octane, C8H18, is a liquid with a relative size of 114 and a boiling point of 125 ºC. The two molecules differ in size only but as octane is bigger it has a higher boiling point due to the dispersion forces.

What type of inter molecular forces predominates in octane?

London dispersion forces or van der Waals forces predominate in octane. These forces result from temporary shifts in electron density, causing temporary dipoles which attract other molecules.
