Ethanol is the liquid you will be using in this weeks lab. There is a structural isomer of ethanol (a differnt molecule with the same formula) called dimethyl ether The molecules are below. Which choice correctly predicts the comapison of the vapor pressure of dimethyl ether to ethanol at room temperature based on intermolecular forces. (Picture attached)       Select one: a. dimethyl ether will have a lower vapor pressure because it doesn't hydrogen bond. b. dimethyl ether will have a higher vapor pressure because it doesn't hydrogen bond. c. dimethyl ether will have a lower vapor pressure because it is larger and has more intermolecular forces. d. dimethyl ether will have the same vapor pressure because it has the same intermolecular forces as ethanol
