What physical property is identical for the isomers of #C_5H_12# and #C_6H_14#?

Answer 1

The molecular masses of each isomer is necessarily a constant .

#"Pentane"#, #C_5H_12#, can form THREE structural isomers: #"isopentane"#; #"n-pentane"#; and #"neopentane"#.

#"Butane"#, #C_4H_10#, can form TWO structural isomers: #"isobutane"#; #"n-butane"#.

For each isomeric series, while they have (slightly) different chemistries, and physical properties. THE MOLECULAR MASSES, #58.12*g*mol^-1#, and #72.15*g*mol^-1#, respectively, ARE A CONSTANT...

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
