Students have asked these similar questions
is this statement correct?
An ether is more volatile than alcohol
having the same molecular formula.
This is due to: *
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in
alcohols
Dipolar character of ethers
Alcohols, having resonance
structures
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in
ethers
None of the above
1. Consider the solubility and boiling point of the following pair of compounds: n-butyl alcohol and diethyl ether. The boiling points for the compounds are 118 °C and 35 °C respectively. The solubility for both compounds is the same (8g/100g water). Explain this observation for (i) boiling point disparity; (ii) solubility similarity
a. H-bonds form in diethyl ether; n-butyl alcohol forms H-bonds in water
b. H-bonds form in n-butyl alcohol; diethyl ether forms H-bonds in water
c. H-bonds in n-butyl alcohol; Both compounds form H-bonds in water
d. Both compounds form H-bonds; Both compounds form H-bonds in water
2. Account for the bond angle differences between (i) H-C-H (109.5°) in methane and H-S-H (90°); H-C-H (109.5°) and H-O-H (107.5°) in water.
a. The H-S-H has two lone pairs; The H-O-H has two lone pairs
b. The H-S-H has no hybridization at p-orbitals; The H-O-H has two lone pairs
c. The H-S-H has two lone pairs; The H-O-H has no hybridization…
