2,2,4-trimethylpentane molar mass = (18*1.008+ 8*12.01)g/mol
Q = mc(delta)T
Q = 1 * 4.18* 75
= -313.5 KJ
Mol of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane -313.5 KJ/ -5460 KJ mol^-1 = .057 mol
.057 mol*(18*1.008+ 8*12.01)g/mol
= 6.5 g
4) C
Short Answers
5) Hydrophilic head of the soap molecule is polar hence it will be attracted to water. The hydrophobic tail is non-polar so it will be attracted to the oil. This will form a micelle that will allow the oil to dissolve in water with agitation removing it from clothes.
7) Buta-2-one
8) W = But-1-ene, X = Buta-1-ol, Z = Batanal

Marking rubric:
- Identify what x, y and z are – 2 marks
- Describing the trend – 2 marks
- Explaining why – 2 marks
Trend:
- As the length of the carbon chain increases the boiling point also increases.
- As the carbon chain gets longer the lines begin to converge making the boiling points closer together.
z = alkane – dispersion forces, y = amine – dispersion and weaker hydrogen bond, x= alcohols – strongest hydrogen bonds and dispersion bonds
Answer:
As the length of the carbon chain increases the boiling point also increases because dispersion forces become larger as the carbon chains increase. This occurs due to the number of carbons increasing so there is a greater area for dispersion forces to interact with other molecules increasing the energy required to separate them, hence a higher boiling point.
The reason the boiling points converge as the molecules get larger is due to the dispersion forces becoming stronger hence making the hydrogen bonding from the function groups become negligible to the total intramolecular forces.
z = alkane – dispersion forces, y = amine – dispersion and weaker hydrogen bond, x= alcohols – strongest hydrogen bonds and dispersion bonds
The alkane has the lowest boiling point since it has the same dispersion forces but no hydrogen bonding.
Nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen hence it doesn’t pull the hydrogen’s electrons in as much. This means the nucleus in the alcohol is more exposed hence it has stronger hydrogen bonding accounting for it having a higher boiling point then the amine.
