Question

3. Based on the intermolecular forces present, predict the relative boiling points of each of the substances below. Arrange each series of substances in order of increasing boiling point. State your reasons for the order you use (identify the forces and explain how they affect the boiling point). a. dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3), ethanol (CH3CH2OH), and propane (CH3CH2CH3) b. Br2, Cl2, I2

Step 1

- Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) has dipole-dipole interactions due to its polar nature and London dispersion forces. - Ethanol (CH3CH2OH) has hydrogen bonding (due to the OH group), dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces. - Propane (CH3CH2CH3) has Show more…
