Question
Chapter 19, Problem 55E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An explanation as to why the boiling point of “ethyl alcohol” is much higher than the “dimethyl ether” is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The boiling point is the temperature at which liquid starts boiling and it is the point at which pressure from the vapors of liquid become equal to the pressure for the gases in the atmosphere. The boiling point of a compound is directly related to its intermolecular forces of attractions and molecular mass of the compound.
