Question

To escape taxes and duties commonly
levied upon alcohol, the methanol content
in methylated spirits used in solvents is
usually up to 5%, and therefore mainly
consist of ethyl alcohol (>90%).
Name and describe the intermolecular
forces that are responsible for methylated
spirits to dissolve in a polar solvent such
as water.

An aldehyde has a boiling point] that is intermediate between an alkane (of the same mass) and an alcohol (also of the same mass). Why is this? Group of answer choices The aldehyde's mass is intermediate between the alcohol and the alkane. The aldehyde molecules interact with each other through dipole/dipole interactions, which are stronger than the interactions between alkane molecules and weaker than the interactions between alcohol molecules. there is no known explanation for the intermediate boiling points of aldehydes. None of the above.
