Question
Chapter 2, Problem 4Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The organic solvent among ethylene glycol and ethanol that requires less energy to evaporate should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Evaporation is a physical process that converts substances from its liquid state to a gaseous state. In industrial processes, evaporation is used to separate the compounds on the basis of their boiling point. Organic solvents are of great advantage that they have boiling points much lower than water, and are relatively easy to evaporate.

Explain using your knowledge of intermolecular forces the vapor pressure curve for carbon disulfide, ethanol, and heptane.
What amount of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) would vaporize while absorbing 480 kJ of heat? Heat of vaporization = 60 kJ/mol
How much heat must be absorbed to warm 25.0g of liquid methanol (C= 2.53 J g/k) from 30° to its boiling point (64.6°C) and then to vaporize the methanol completely at its boiling point. Lv formethanol = 2.00x10^3 J/g.
