Interpretation: The reason for why 1-propanol has higher boiling point than methyl ethyl ether even though both compounds with same empirical formula has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Intermolecular force: Intermolecular force is the set of repulsive and attractive forces between molecules that result from the polarity between neighboring molecules. There are four types of intermolecular forces:
- Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole-dipole interaction of molecules when the hydrogen is bonded to strong electronegative atom in the molecules.
- Dipole – Dipole interaction: This force takes place between polar compounds.
- Dispersion force is a weak force and this force is present in all compounds force.
- Ionic forces: ions are attracted each other electrostatically.
Boiling point: It is the temperature at which liquid converts to vapor. At boiling point the vapor pressure of liquid and the pressure of the surroundings are equal.
Boiling point is depending upon inter molecular forces.

- Given that the heat of vaporization of 1 propanol is 47.2 kj/mol, and the vapor pressure is 10.0 torr at 14.7C, calculate the vapor pressure of 1 propanol at 53.5 degrees ?arrow_forwardWhy must boiling points be corrected for barometric pressure? Explain.arrow_forward192,690 J of heat is requred to raise the temperature of 5.0 moles of liquid methanol, CH3OH, from 25.0 °C to its boiling point (64.6 °C) and then to completely evaporate the methanol at that temperature. The specific heat of liquid methanol is 2.53 J g─1 K─1. Calculate the enthalpy ofvaporisation of the compound.arrow_forward
- Suppose that 117.2 J of heat energy is required to completely vaporize 4.3 g of a pure liquid. If the molar mass of the liquid is 80.75 g/mol, what is the molar enthalpy of vaporization of the liquid?arrow_forwardSilane SiH4, phosphine (PH3), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) melt at 185 C, 133 C, and 85 C, respectively. What does this suggest about the polar character and intermolecular attractions of the three compounds?arrow_forwardWhat mass (g) of ethanol, CH3CH2OH(), can be vaporized at its boiling point of 78.4 C by transfer of 500. kJ to the liquid? The vapH of ethanol is 38.6 kJ/mol at this temperature.arrow_forward
- On the basis of intermolecular attractions, explain the differences in the boiling points of n butane (1 C) and chloroethane (12 C), which have similar molar masses.arrow_forwardHow much heat is required to evaporate 100.0 g of liquid ammonia, NH3, at its boiling point if its enthalpy of vaporization is 4.8 kJ/mol?arrow_forwardWhy does the antifreeze ingredient ethylene glycol (HOCH₂CH₂OH;Μ=62.07g/mol ) have a boiling point of 197.6°C, whereas propanol (CH₃CH₂CH₂OH; ),a compound with a similar molar mass, has a boiling point ofonly 97.4°C?arrow_forward
