- Which of the following statements about intermolecular forces is( are) true? a. London dispersion forces are the only type of intermolecular force that nonpolar molecules exhibit. b. Molecules that have only London dispersion forces will always be gases at room temperature (25C). c. The hydrogen-bonding forces in NH3 are stronger than those in H2O. d. The molecules in SO2(g) exhibit dipole-dipole intermolecular interactions. e. CH3CH2CH3 has stronger London dispersion forces than does CH4.arrow_forwardConsider a substance X with a Hvap = 20.3 kJ/mol and Hfus = 9.0 kJ/mol. The melting point, freezing point, and heat capacities of both the solid and liquid X are identical to those of water. a If you place one beaker containing 50 g of X at 10C and another beaker with 50 g of H2O at 10C on a hot plate and start heating them, which material will reach the boiling point first? b Which of the materials from part a, X or H2O, would completely boil away first? c On a piece of graph paper, draw the heating curve for H2O and X. How do the heating curves reflect your answers from parts a and b?arrow_forwardUse Figure 11.7 to estimate the boiling point of carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, under an external pressure of 250 mmHg.arrow_forward
- Why do liquids have a vapor pressure? Do all liquids have vapor pressures? Explain. Do solids exhibit vapor pressure? Explain. How does vapor pressure change with changing temperature? Explain.arrow_forward8.103 In previous chapters, we have noted that cryolite is used in refining aluminum. Use the web to look up what this addition does for the process, and relate it to the concepts of intermolecular forces from this chapter.arrow_forwardThe halogens form a series of compounds with each other, which are called interhalogens. Examples are bromine chloride (BrCl), iodine bromide (IBr), bromine fluoride (BrF), and chlorine fluoride (ClF). Which compound is expected to have the highest boiling point at any given pressure? Explain.arrow_forward
