Best Answer

Pentane is a liquid at room temperature (B.p. 36.1 °C, 308 K) and neopentane (2,2-dime-pe) is gas (B.p. 9.5 °C, 283 K)

Both as gases they have the same density, because of the same molecular mass.

An example of a density higher than 1?

Water has a density of 1 - therefore anything that sinks in water (e.g. iron with a density of 7.874) has a density higher than 1 and anything that floats in water has density less than 1.


Why is the bioling point of hexane greater than that of pentane?

Higher molecular weight, so needs more kinetic energy (higher temperature) to enter the gaseous phase.


Does a golf ball have a higher density than a ping pong ball?

Yes, a Golf ball does have a Higher density than a pingpong ball. I think because if a fusion is compacted real close, it has a higher density than the object that is seperated .


Why n-pentane has higher melting point than neopentane?

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
