(a)
Interpretation:
The compound, which exhibits weaker intermolecular forces, has to be given.
Concept introduction:
London Dispersion forces:
London dispersion forces are weak interactions due to the temporary changes in electron density in a molecule. All covalent compound exhibits London dispersion forces. These intermolecular forces are the only intermolecular forces present in nonpolar compounds.
Hydrogen Bonding:
A
Dipole-dipole interactions:
Dipole–dipole interactions are electrostatic interactions between molecules which have permanent dipoles. This interaction is stronger than the London forces but is weaker than ion-ion interaction because only partial charges are involved positive end of a polar molecule will attract the negative end of the other molecule and influence its position
(b)
Interpretation:
The compound that has lower boiling point has to be given.
(c)
Interpretation:
The compound that has lower melting point has to be given.

- At 25°C, the vapor pressure of diethyl ether, (CH3CH2)2O, is higher than the vaporpressure of its isomer n-butanol, CH3CH2CH2CH2OH, becausea. diethyl ether has a higher density than n-butanol.b. diethyl ether has weaker intermolecular forces than n-butanol.c. diethyl ether has a lower critical temperature than n-butanol.d. diethyl ether has a higher surface tension than n-butanol.e. diethyl ether has a smaller molar mass than n-butanol.arrow_forwardCompare the TWO structures represented below: 0=S=0 Molecule A Molecule B a. Molecule A has a boiling point of -60 °C and Molecule B has a boiling point of -10 °C. Write 3 sentences to explain this difference in terms of the intermolecular forces that exist between the molecules in each pure substance (you might draw structural diagrams to support your explanation). b. Calculate the enthalpy of vaporization (AvapH) for Molecule A using the following experimental data: the vapour pressure is measured to be 6000 kPa at 75 °C and is 8800 kPa at 95 °C.

- Compare the boiling points of the various isomeric hydrocarbons shown in the table below. Notice the relationship between boiling point and structure; branched-chain hydrocarbons have lower boiling points than the unbranched isomer. Speculate on possible reasons for this trend. Why might the intermolecular forces be slightly different in these compounds?

The more branched structure has larger exposed surface and hence weaker dispersion intermolecular forces. The more branched structure has larger exposed surface and hence stronger dispersion intermolecular forces. The more branched structure has smaller exposed surface and hence stronger dispersion intermolecular forces.arrow_forwardWhich is more soluble in octane, C8H18: propane CH3-CH2-CH3 OR 1-propanol, CH3-CH2-CH2-OH. Why? a. propane, only has dispersion forces. b. 1-propanol, because it can hydrogen bond. c. 1-propanol, because it has strong dispersion forces.arrow_forwardRank the compounds in Figure 27 from highest to lowest boiling point. * D > C > B > A C > D > A > B D > B > C > A C > A > B > D None of these rankings is correct.arrow_forward
