Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The compound from dimethyl ether and ethanol to be identified from given boiling point.
Concept Introduction:
The molecular formula of dimethyl ether and ethanol is same C2 H6 O but having different
Boiling point depends on the interaction between the molecule due to the presence of hydrogen bonding. Substance making more H bonding will have high boiling point.
(b)
Interpretation:
The compound with correct water solubility to be identified if one having infinite and other have solubility of 7.8 g /100 mL.
Concept Introduction:
The molecular formula of dimethyl ether and ethanol is same C2 H6 O but having different functional group such as ether having −O—while ethanol having −OH.
Boiling point depends on the interaction between the molecule due to the presence of hydrogen bonding. Substance making more H bonding will have high boiling point.

- How many electron pairs are shared when a triple bond exists between two carbon atoms? What must he the geometric arrangement around the carbon atoms in a triple bond? Draw the Lewis structure of a simple molecule that contains a triple bond.arrow_forwardWhen a small amount of pentane is in contact with a water droplet on top of a glass table, it forms a very thin film that covers the droplet and part of the table. Why does the pentane spread out and not form a droplet? Why does water form a droplet on glass (and not spread out)? Why do water and pentane not mix? How is the pentane able to "creep" up and across the water droplet to form a film? Please answer the questions by focusing on intermolecular forces.arrow_forwardWhat will happen If you add two drops of nonpolar red dye to a 2 mL cyclohexane solution? * a red homogenous solution will form a red heterogenous solution will form the color of solution will change from red to colorless the solution will still remain colorlessarrow_forward
