Interpretation:
The differences in melting and boiling points of the given compounds have to be accounted.
Concept Introduction:
Intermolecular forces in a molecule are the important factor which is responsible for the physical changes of the molecule.
The intermolecular forces in gases are negligibly small and the forces are comparatively stronger in liquids and the intermolecular forces are highest in solids.
The stronger the intermolecular forces, closer will be the molecules in contact and thus higher will be the boiling point and melting point of the substance.
Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction in a polar bond which has hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom such as Nitrogen, Oxygen and Fluorine. Hydrogen bonding can also be defined as coulombic attraction between the hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.

- Why is methyl salicylate so easily absorbed through the skin?arrow_forwardAcetic acid has a boiling point of 118°C, whereas its methyl ester has a boiling point of 57°C. Account for the fact that the boiling point of acetic acid is higher than that of its methyl ester even though acetic acid has a lower molecular weight.arrow_forwardDefine Enamine Formation from an Aldehyde or a Ketone ?arrow_forward
- What products are formed when all of the amide and ester bonds arehydrolyzed in each of the following compounds? Tamiflu [part (a)] is the trade name of the antiviral agent oseltamivir, thought to be the most effective agent in treating influenza. Aspartame [part (b)] is the artificial sweetener used in Equal and many diet beverages. One of the products of this hydrolysis reaction is the amino acid phenylalanine. Infants afflicted with phenylketonuria cannot metabolize this amino acid, so it accumulates, causing mental retardation. When the affliction is identified early, a diet limiting the consumption of phenylalanine (and compounds like aspartame that are converted to it) can make a normal life possible.arrow_forwardIdentify the most important aldehyde and ketone from Section 14.4 on the basis of amount used, and list at least one characteristic for each that contributes to its usefulness.arrow_forward
