Question
Help Needed
A student wants to investigate the strength of intermolecular forces of different materials. She has samples of methanol, liquid iodine, and water. She adds one
drop at a time to a penny until the liquid spills off of the penny. She collects the following data:
Substance
methanol
liquid iodine
water
drops, trial 1
drops, trial 2
drops, trial 3
22
37
22
39
23
38
What conclusions can the student make about the relative strength of the intermolecular forces present in methanol, liquid iodine, and water based on the data
she collected?
O A. methanol has the strongest intermolecular forces and water has the weakest intermolecular forces
O B. liquid iodine's intermolecular forces are 3 times
strong as methanol's intermolecular forces
C water has the strongest intermolecular forces because it has the highest surface tension
