Consider the two products CO2 and H2O for the combustion of ethanol. Use what you have learned about molecular geometry, polarity, and intermolecular forces to explain why CO2 is a gas at room temperature but H2O is a liquid at room temperature.
1. First, 0.9144 grams of the material was placed into an evacuated 0.500 L container. The temperature was
raised to 600.0 K, and the resulting pressure was 1.00 atm. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown material?
2. Next, the molecule was subjected to a series of structural tests to determine bond energies. Some of the
bonds within the molecule were determined to have a bond energy of 467 kJ/mol. Which of the molecules
below is the most likely structure of the unknown material?
