Experiment 7
The boiling point of the alcohol reactant for Exp. 7 is 163-166 °C, while the hydrocarbon methylcyclohexene products are lower (range from 101-111°C).
What could explain the difference in these values? Select all that are correct.
The alcohol has higher intermolecular forces (H-bonding), which take more energy to break so that the molecule can evaporate.
The products have weaker intermolecular forces (dispersion forces), which makes it easier for each molecule to evaporate.
The products have weaker intermolecular forces (H-bonding), which take more energy to break so that the molecule can evaporate.
The alcohol has stronger intermolecular forces (dipole-dipole), which makes it easier for each molecule to evaporate.
