Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
For given statement,
The molecular substances are mostly similar, which flask probably has substance A has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Intermolecular forces are termed as the forces acting “between molecules” that is components of a substance. Intramolecular forces are the forces that operate “within a molecule”. The prefix “inter” mean “among” and “intra” mean “within”.
Intermolecular forces are Van der Waals forces. They are weak and have two types viz., London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is relatively the strongest one.
Arrangement of major types of intermolecular forces in increasing order of strength:

- What mass (g) of ethanol, CH3CH2OH(), can be vaporized at its boiling point of 78.4 C by transfer of 500. kJ to the liquid? The vapH of ethanol is 38.6 kJ/mol at this temperature.arrow_forwardDiethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3) was one of the first chemicals used as an anesthetic. At 34.6C, diethyl ether has a vapor pressure of 760. torr, and at 17.9C, it has a vapor pressure of 400. torr. What is the H of vaporization for diethyl ether?arrow_forwardButane is a gas at room temperature; however, if you look closely at a butane lighter you see it contains liquid butane. Explain how it is possible to have liquid butane present.arrow_forward
- Consider the following data for the vapor pressure of diethyl ether, a widely used anesthetic in the early days of surgery. Follow the instructions in Question 13 to estimate the heat of vaporization of diethyl ether.arrow_forwardUse Figure 11.7 to estimate the boiling point of carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, under an external pressure of 250 mmHg.arrow_forwardWhat are intermolecular forces? How do they differ from intramolecular forces? What are dipole-dipole forces? How do typical dipole-dipole forces differ from hydrogen bonding interactions? In what ways are they similar? What are London dispersion forces? How do typical London dispersion forces differ from dipole-dipole forces? In what ways are they similar? Describe the relationship between molecular size and strength of London dispersion forces. Place the major types of intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength. Is there some overlap? That is, can the strongest London dispersion forces be greater than some dipole-dipole forces? Give an example of such an instance.arrow_forward
- 5-106 The normal boiling point of hexane, C6H14, is 69°C, and that of pentane, C5H12, is 36°C. Predict which of these compounds has a higher vapor pressure at 20°C.arrow_forwardChloroform, CHCl3, has a normal boiling point of 61C. Its vapor pressure at 43C is 0.526 atm. What is the concentration (in g/L) of CHCl3 when it saturates the air at 27C?arrow_forwardWhich would you expect to have the higher fusion enthalpy, N2 or I2? Explain your choice.arrow_forward
- The cooling effect of alcohol on the skin is due to its evaporation. Calculate the heat of vaporization of ethanol (ethyl alcohol), C2H5OH. C2H5OH(l)C2H5OH(g);H=? The standard enthalpy of formation of C2H5OH(l) is 277.7 kJ/mol and that of C2H5OH(g) is 235.1 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardWhy does sweating cool the human body?arrow_forwardDescribe the behavior of a liquid and its vapor in a closed vessel as the temperature increases.arrow_forward
