A solution of benzoic acid in benzene has a freezing point of 3.1 °C and a boiling point of 82.6 °C. (The freezing point of pure benzene is 5.50 °C, and its boiling point is 80.1 °C) The structure of benzoic acid is
Benzoic acid, C6H5CO2H
What can you conclude about the state of the benzoic acid molecules at the two different temperatures? Recall the discussion of hydrogen bonding in Section 11.3.

- A sample of sulfur weighing 0.210 g was dissolved in 17.8 g of carbon disulfide, CS2 ( Kb=2.43 C/m). If the boiling point elevation was 0.107 C, what is the formula of a sulfur molecule in carbon disulfide?arrow_forwardUse molecular structures and noncovalent interactions to explain why dimethyl ether, (CH3)2O, is completely miscible in water, but dimethylsulfide, (CH3)2S, is only slightly water soluble.arrow_forwardDescribe the formation of hydrogen bonds in propanol, CH3CH2CH2OH. Represent possible hydrogen bonding structures in propanol by using structural formulas and the conventional notation for a hydrogen bond.arrow_forward
- 8.52 Rank the following hydrocarbons in order of increasing vapor pressure: C2H6,C10H22,CH4,C7H16,C22H46 .arrow_forward2. The boiling point of methanol is 338 K. What is the vapor pressure of methanol at 250 K, given that AHwap = 35 kJ/mol?arrow_forwardPotassium nitrate (KNO3) crystals were insoluble in water at room temperature. Heating the solution increases the solubility of the crystals in water. Briefly explain this phenomenon based on intermolecular forces of attraction of molecules.arrow_forward
- The molecular mass of butanol, C4H,OH, is 74.14; that of ethylene glycol, CH2(OH)CH,OH, is 62.08, yet their boiling points are 117.2 °C and 174 °C, respectively. Explain the reason for the difference. The two hydroxyl groups in ethylene glycol provide more locations for the formation of hydrogen bonds. The existence of more hydrogen bonds considerably decreases the boiling point O The two hydroxyl groups in ethylene glycol provide less locations for the formation of hydrogen bonds. The existence of less hydrogen bonds considerably increases the boiling point The two hydroxyl groups in ethylene glycol provide more locations for the formation of hydrogen bonds. The existence of more hydrogen bonds considerably increases the boiling pointarrow_forwardArrange HCI, H0, SiH, in order of increasing boiling point temperature: O HCI < SIH4 < H2O O SIIH, < HCI < H;O O SiH, « H2O < HCIarrow_forwardShown below are interactions that occur between ions and polar compounds (cyclopentyl alcohol, dimethyl ether, dimethyl sulfide, and water). Examine the types of intermolecular forces in which each of the following molecules participate, then rank the following interactions between molecules and ions from the weakest to the strongest based on those intermolecular forces and trends in electronegativity.arrow_forward
- C. Explain the following occurrences in terms of molecular polarity and intermolecular forces. 1. Propane can be liquefied, the reason why it is produced as liquefied petroleum gas. (a) What intermolecular force is present between propane gases that makes them attract one another and be liquefied? (b) As soon as we open our gas stove, it is immediately converted back to gas state. Explain it in terms of the strength of the intermolecular force present between propane molecules.arrow_forwardWhich of the following gaseous substance would have the lowest solubility in water? CO2 H2 NH3 O2arrow_forwardDetermine the chemical formulas for the two compounds. ОН A A: В: Based on their structures, which compound will have the higher boiling point?arrow_forward
