A.

A

B.

B

C.

C

D.

D

E.

E

Correct answer is D

The boiling points of each of the compounds:

Pentane - 36.1°C ; 2- methylbutane - 27.8°C ; dimethylpropane - 10°C.

Therefore, the order of boiling point in ascending order is Dimethylpropane < 2-methylbutane < pentane.

729.

In the above experiment X is?

A.

pure nitrogen

B.

a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen

C.

a mixture of nitrogen and carbondioxide

D.

a mixture of oxygen and inert gases

E.

a mixture of nitrogen and inert gases

Correct answer is E

Alkaline solutions of pyrogallol absorb oxygen efficiently and are used in determining the oxygen content of gas mixtures.

 calcium chloride absorbs sufficient moisture/water from the air.

So,Nitrogen and Inert gases will be left
