Chapter 11, Problem 103RQ

Using the information in Problem 11.101, list the compounds in order from lowest boiling point to highest boiling point.

The following are the vapor pressures of some relatively common chemicals measured at $\text{20 °C}$:

Benzene, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}$	80 torr
Acetic acid, ${\text{HC}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$	11.7 torr
Acetone, ${\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}\text{O}$	184.8 torr
Diethyl ether, ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}\text{O}$	442.2 torr
Water, ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$	17.5 torr

Arrange these substances in order of increasing inter- molecular attractive forces.
