Question
Chapter 15, Problem 51E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Dew in terms of relative humidity is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The water droplets that are found on thin and exposed objects in morning and evening are called dew.
Relative humidity is the amount of water vapour present in the air which is calculated as the percentage of vapour required for saturation at the same temperature.

When 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.

- Why does CH3OH have a higher boiling point than CCl4? Explain in terms of intermolecular forces. Select the single best answer. Because CH3OH is soluble in water, and CCl4 is not. Because CH3OH can form hydrogen bonds, and CCl4 can't. Because CH3OH is a liquid, and CCl4 is a gas. Because CH3OH is an ionic compound, and the ion-ion attractions are much stronger than the dispersion forces between CCl4 molecules.arrow_forward12.
