Document Summary

Ch 101 - lecture 14 - intermolecular forces, dissolving ionic solids. Near boiling point, polarity is less important than dispersion. Order of dipoles when determining relative boiling points: Question: identify the compound with the smallest energy of vaporization (kj/mol). Water and ethanol both contain hydrogen bonds (in its chemical formula oxygen is attached to hydrogen). Thus, we can rule out these compounds since hydrogen bonds will increase the amount of energy of vaporization. Dimethyl ether is polar, however, remember that polarity is not a factor when it is near the boiling point. Thus, take in consideration of the size of each molecule. The greater the size, the greater the boiling point. Dimethyl ether will have the smallest energy of vaporization. Question: the correct order of boiling point of ch3oh, ch4, s=c=o, and xe is(lowest to highest) Ch3oh contains a hydrogen attached to the oxygen indicating hydrogen bonds. Thus, ch3oh should have the greatest boiling point.
