Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To estimate the vapor pressure of the ether at
Concept introduction:
Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the gas state molecules liquid on the surface of the liquid. Vaporization of liquid occurs when the molecules on the surface of the liquid have enough amount of energy to leave, breaking the forces of attractions. The vapor pressure can be measured using mercury barometer.

- Two molecules that contain the same number of each kind of atom but [hat have different molecular structures are said to he isomers of each other. For example, both ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether (shown below} have the formula C2H6Oand are isomers; Based on considerations of intermolecular forces. which substance would you expect to be more volatile? Which would you expect 10have the higher boiling point?
