(a)
Interpretation:
The type of intermolecular force exhibited by ethanol and dimethyl ether needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The intermolecular force is defined as the force which occurs between the one molecule to another as attraction. The intermolecular force is of following types −
- Hydrogen bond this type of intermolecular force exists in that molecule in which the hydrogen atom is covalently bonded with the atom with high electronegativity and it has strong intermolecular attraction.
- Dipole-Dipole interaction is a type of intermolecular force occurs only in the polar molecules and increase with the polarity of the molecule.
- London Dispersion intermolecular force occurs in the polar or non-polar molecule or atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
The compound with higher boiling point between ethanol and dimethyl ether needs to be determined.

The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forward
