Interpretation: The given compounds in each group are to be ranked in the order of increasing strength of intermolecular forces.
Concept introduction: Intermolecular forces are also known as non-covalent interactions. The interactions present between molecules are known as intermolecular forces. A
(b)
Interpretation: The given compounds in each group are to be ranked in the order of increasing strength of intermolecular forces.
Concept introduction: Intermolecular forces are also known as non-covalent interactions. The interactions present between molecules are known as intermolecular forces. A functional group present in a molecule decides the type of interaction. The increasing order of intermolecular force strength is as follows:

- Dimethyl ether and ethanol have the same molecular mass. Dimethyl ether is a gas at room temperature, and ethanol is a liquid at room temperature. Explain these observations.arrow_forwardMethanol is fairly volatile and evaporates quickly if spilled. Methanol is also absorbed quite readily through the skin. If, in the laboratory, methanol accidentally spilled on your clothing, why would it be a serious mistake to just let it evaporate?arrow_forward1. List the reasons why pentanol has a higher boiling point when compared to its corresponding alkane, pentane.arrow_forward
- Why does hexane have the lower boiling point than acetic acid, when in fact, hexane has a high molecular mass? Boiling point determination can be used for several purposes. What are those purposes?arrow_forwardamong compound that are hydrophobic one would find a. electroltyes b. non-polar covalent compounds c. polar compounds d. ionsarrow_forwardWhy is water more acidic than ethanol but slightly less acidic than methanol?arrow_forward
- What kind of solvent ingredients is usually used in the concentrations of 4-10 percent in skin care products and their function is to soften skin cells and to lessen wrinkles? A. Ethly acetate B. Alpha hydroxyl acids C. Phenols and phenol derivatives D. Aliphatic alcoholsarrow_forwardRank the compounds in each group in order of increasing boiling point. a. CH 3CH 2CH 2I, CH 3CH 2CH 2Cl, CH 3CH 2CH 2F b. CH 3(CH 2) 4CH 3, CH 3(CH 2) 5Br, CH 3(CH 2) 5Clarrow_forwardHow can phenol be distinguished from cyclohexanol? O A. solubility in water B. solubility in hydrochloric acid solution C. solubility in sodium bicarbonate solution D. solubility in sodium hydroxide solutionarrow_forward
