Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.36AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An explanation regarding the higher boiling point of nitromethane than
Concept introduction:
The boiling point is defined as a temperature at which the conversion of a liquid into a vapor state takes place. At this temperature, the liquid’s vapor pressure becomes equal to the external pressure surrounding the liquid. The boiling point of a molecule depends upon the interactions that result from permanent or induced dipoles.
