1. What is the effect of molecular weight (M. wt.) on melting and boiling points of alkanes?

2. What is the effect of branching on melting and boiling points of alkanes?

3. What ara the differences between the homolytic and heterolytic bond dissociation ? And why homolytic dissociation energy of H-H (104 KJ/mol) is lower than its heterolytic bond dissociation energy (401 KJ/mol)?

1) boiling points increase as molecular weight increase and vice versa. This is due to the increase in van der waals forces between molecules.
2) branching decreases the melting and boiling i.e increase in branching decrease boiling point and melting point. This is due to the fact that there are less point of contact between neighbouring molecules, so molecules are farther apart from each other, which means weaker van der waals(London forces) less energy is required to overcome these force of attraction.
3) In homolytic fission each of the fragment retain one of the bonded electron and radicals are made if the molecule is neutral. In heterolytic fission one fragment gets both bonding electron.
The energy for the heterolytic fission is higher because energy is not only needed to break the covalent bond but also to overcome the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions formed.

Answer from: Quest

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

Write 15 uses of a mercury barometer along with its characterestics
