Chapter 11, Problem 37E

The boiling points, surface tension, and viscosities of water and several alcohol are as shown below:

    Boiling point
    (ºC)
    Surface tension (J/m2)
    Viscosity
    (kg/m-s)
    Water, H2o 100 7.3 x 10-2 0.9 x 10-3
    Ethanol, CH3CH2OH 78 2.3 X 10-2 1.1 X 10 -3
    Propanol, CH3CH2CH2CH2OH 97 2.4 X 10-2 2.2 X 10-3
    n-Butanol, CH3CH2CH2CH2OH 117 2.6 X 10-2 2.6 X 10-3
    Ethylene glycol, HOCH2CH2OH 197 4.8 X 10-2 26 X 10-3

  1. From ethanol to propanol to n-butanol the boiling points, surface tension, and viscosities all increases. What is the reason for this increase?
  2. How do you explain the fact that propanol and ethylene glycol have similar molecule weight(60 versus 62 amu), yet the viscosity of ethylene glycol is more than 10times larger than propanol?
  3. How do you explain the fact that water has the highest surface tension but the lowest viscosity?

The boiling points (at 1 atm of pressure) of several organic and inorganic materials are included below: Chemical Chemical Formula ВР (°С) Water H2O 100 Acetone C3H60 56 Dichloromethane CH2CI2 39.6 Diethyl Ether C4H100 34.6 Dodecanoic Acid С10Н2002 269 Ethanol C2H60 78.4 Formic Acid CH2O2 100.8 Hexane C6H14 68 Hydrogen Sulfide H2S -60 Toluene C7H8 |110.8 Xylene С8Н10 139 Using the language of intermolecular forces, what insights can you offer to explain the data?
A 0.488 mol sample of liquid propanol (60.09 g/mol) is heated from 25.7°C to 329.2C. The boiling point of propanol is 206.6°C. The specific heat of liquid propanol is 2.40 J/g°C. The specific heat of propanol vapor is 1.42 J/g°C. The enthalpy of vaporization for propanol is 47.5 kJ/mol.What is the energy change of this process, in kJ?
Say that you place a drop of each of the following substances on wax paper: water, hexane, 1-butanol, acetone, and glycerol. Which statement correctly describes why hexane forms a drop with the largest diameter on the wax paper? A hydrogen bond forms between hexane and the wax paper. Hexane and the wax paper form a relatively strong dipole-dipole force. Hexane and the wax paper form a relatively strong London-dispersion force. Essentially no bond forms between the hexane and the wax paper.
