Chapter 11, Problem 11.42SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the given statement has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Intermolecular forces:
Intermolecular forces are like cohesive forces, acting between the molecules. The overall stability of a compound depends on how strong the molecules are held together. Intermolecular force is concerned about the overall stability of a substance. A stable substance has stronger intermolecular forces.

Suggest an explanation for the observations that ethanol, C2H5OH, is completely miscible with water and that ethanethiol, C2H5SH, is soluble only to the extent of 1.5 g per 100 mL of water.
Dimethyl ether and ethanol have the same formula (C2H6O) but different structures. Dimethyl ether has a boiling point of -24.0*C and ethanol has a boiling point of 78.4*C. Consider the solubility of each in water. Briefly explain at a molecular level why the solubility of ethanol in water is much greater than the solubility of dimethyl ether in water. Be sure to include the names of the intermolecular forces involved and their relative strengths.
1. A 4 M acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution lowers the freezing point by -8oC; a 4 M KF solution yields a -15oC freezing point depression. What can account for this difference?
2. Based on what you have studied about intermolecular forces, predict which of the following liquid has the highest boiling point and why. All three compounds have comparable molecular weights.
Butane, C4H10 b. Propanol, C3H7OH c. Acetone, CH3COCH3

- Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used to melt ice on roads during the winter. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for this purpose too. Let us compare the effectiveness of equal masses of these two compounds in lowering the freezing point of water, by calculating the freezing point depression of solutions containing 200. g of each salt in 1.00 kg of water. (An advantage of CaCl2 is that it acts more quickly because it is hygroscopic, that is. it absorbs moisture from the air to give a solution and begin the process. A disadvantage is that this compound is more costly.)arrow_forwardPredict the relative solubility of each compound in the two solvents, on the basis of intermolecular attractions.
