which one has the highest thermal stability?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

methane, propane, octane, methanol? like i know for formation, the lower the negativevalue the higehr the thermal stability, and for decomp the lower the positiv value the lower the thermal stability

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but this doesnt indicate whether its formation or decomp so i have no idea

In this sense you consider as the formation one. For hydrocarbons, the higher the molecular mass, the higher the thermal stability, then the answer will be octane.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if they do not tell you if its decomp or formation you assume its formation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok can you see if im right for this question then... sucrose, ethanoic acid, ethanol, glucose i think its sucrose, because since assuming formation plus it has the highest molar mass so...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As long as it has the highest Mr.
