(a)
Interpretation:
The type of intermolecular forces present in ethanol and dimethyl ether has to be given.
Concept introduction:
London Dispersion forces:
London dispersion forces are weak interactions due to the temporary changes in electron density in a molecule. All covalent compound exhibits London dispersion forces. These intermolecular forces are the only intermolecular forces present in nonpolar compounds.
Hydrogen Bonding:
A
Dipole-dipole interactions:
Dipole–dipole interactions are electrostatic interactions between molecules which have permanent dipoles. This interaction is stronger than the London forces but is weaker than ion-ion interaction because only partial charges are involved positive end of a polar molecule will attract the negative end of the other molecule and influence its position
(b)
Interpretation:
The compounds with higher boiling points has to be given.

- Arrange the compounds of each group in order of increasing boiling point. a. ethanol, 1-propanol, methanol b. butane, ethylene glycol, 1-propanolarrow_forwardwhich has highest boiling point and which has lowest and explain whyarrow_forwardRank the following from lowest to highest boiling point -CH3-CH2-CH2-Cl -CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 -CH3-CH2-CH2-NH2arrow_forward
- Rank propane, ethanol and water with respect to their expected boiling points. Explain.arrow_forwardPut the following molecules in increasing order of boiling points, where the top = lowest boiling point and the bottom = highest boiling pointarrow_forwardRank the following molecules from lowest boiling point to highest boiling point.arrow_forward
- For each pair of compounds, pick the one with the highest boiling point. Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardConsider lisinopril, a drug used primarily in the treatment of high blood pressure, heart failure, and after heart attacks. (a) Name the various functional groups in lisinopril. (b) What intermolecular forces are expected to exist between molecules of lisinopril in close proximity to one another (Section 5.7)?arrow_forwardi. Why is the boiling point of the aldehyde greater than that of the alkane? ii. Why is the boiling point of alcohol the highest? iii. Explain why the solubility of aldehydes and alcohols falls as the molecules get bigger.arrow_forward
- Why does water have a higher boiling point and lower vapor pressure than comparably sized molecules such a s dimethyl ether (CH3-O-CH3) or N2arrow_forwardWhy does hexane have the lower boiling point than acetic acid, when in fact, hexane has a high molecular mass? Boiling point determination can be used for several purposes. What are those purposes?arrow_forwardPick the compound with the highest boiling point in each pair.Explain your reasoning.a. CH3OH or CH3SHarrow_forward
