Hydrocarbons may vary from state to state depending on the length of the carbon chain. For methane to butane, they are usually in gas form. Starting from pentane, they are in the liquid form. For very long carbon chains, that occur as solids. Now, it depends if the pentane is in a nonpolar liquid or polar liquid. Since pentane is nonpolar, it is miscible in the liquid solvent. The movements would most likely be free flowing. But if he solvent is polar, the molecules would repel with one another. In the end, it will form two liquid phases, on for the pentane and one for the polar solvent.

Not sure what the answer is
Explanation:
I did this a while ago and dont remember sorry
Rydberg Eqn is given as:
1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2]
<span>Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 2626 nm = 2.626×10^-6 m </span>
<span>R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1 </span>
<span>From Brackett series n1 = 4 </span>
<span>Hence 1/(2.626×10^-6 ) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/4^2 – 1/n2^2] </span>
<span>Some rearranging and collecting up terms: </span>
<span>1 = (2.626×10^-6)×(1.09737× 10^7)[1/16 -1/n2^2] </span>
<span>1= 28.82[1/16 – 1/n2^2] </span>
<span>28.82/n^2 = 1.8011 – 1 = 0.8011 </span>
<span>n^2 = 28.82/0.8011 = 35.98 </span>
<span>n = √(35.98) = 6</span>
N₀ is the number of C-14 atoms per kg of carbon in the original sample at time = Os when its carbon was of the same kind as that present in the atmosphere today. After time ts, due to radioactive decay, the number of C-14 atoms per kg of carbon is the same sample which has decreased to N. λ is the radioactive decay constant.
Therefore N = N₀e-λt which is the radioactive decay equation,
N₀/N = eλt In (N₀.N= λt. This is the equation 1
The mass of carbon which is present in the sample os mc kg. So the sample has a radioactivity of A/mc decay is/kg. r is the mass of C-14 in original sample at t= 0 per total mass of carbon in a sample which is equal to [(total number of C-14 atoms in the sample at t m=m 0) × ma]/ total mass of carbon in the sample.
Now that the total number of C-14 atoms in the sample at t= 0/ total mass of carbon in sample = N₀ then r = N₀×ma
So N₀ = r/ma. this equation 2.
The activity of the radioactive substance is directly proportional to the number of atoms present at the time.
Activity = A number of decays/ sec = dN/dt = λ(number of atoms of C-14 present at time t) =
λ₁(N×mc). By rearranging we get N = A/(λmc) this is equation 3.
By plugging in equation 2 and 3 and solve t to get
t = 1/λ In (rλmc/m₀A).
