Topics 3.1 to 3.6
Pentane, C5H12 and Octane C8H18, are both hydrocarbons.
a) Identify the type of intermolecular forces present.
b) Predict the substance that would have a higher vapor pressure and justify your claim.
a) Both molecules would only exhibit London Dispersion Forces (LDF). (Both are made up from C-H and C-C which have negligible electronegativity differences.)
b) C5H12 would have higher vapor pressure. C5H12 is less polarizable than C8H18 as it has fewer electrons, meaning that the IMF is weaker. Weaker IMF means that it vaporizes more readily resulting in a higher vapor pressure.
The boiling point of HF is 293 K whereas the boiling point of F2 is 85 K.
a) Determine the type(s) of intermolecular forces present.
b) Explain the difference in boiling points based on their intermolecular forces.
a) HF- LDF, dipole-dipole, H-bond, strong IMF
F2- LDF, weak IMF
b) Strong IMF means higher BP
In each pair decide which would have a lower boiling point. Explain why.
a) He or Ne
b) CH4 or CCl4
c) CF4 or CF3H
d) NH3 or PH3
a) He- lighter
b) CH4- smaller and simple, is a gas
c) CF4- no dipole moment
d) PH3- no hydrogen bond
1-Butanol and diethyl ether are structural isomers, meaning they have the same formula but the atoms are arranged differently.

b) H-bond is stronger, diethyl has a weak dipole

He, C3H8, HCl, CH3OH, HOCH2OH
Which of the following would have the strongest ion-dipole interaction with water? Explain.
Tl3+, Cd2+, Na+
Tl3+ has the highest charge because of its stronger electrostatic attraction and intramolecular forces.

a) H2S
b) HCl
c) C5H12
d) CH3OH
e) NCl3
f) CH3NH2

d) CH3OH and f) CH3NH2
Pentane has 3 isomers: Use the structures to place them in order of increasing intermolecular forces.
1) Pentane 2) Isopentane 3) Neopentane
1) Neopentane 2) Isopentane 3) Pentane
Long thin molecules have most IMF
Use intermolecular forced to explain why the vapor pressure of CH4 is greater than that of NH3. (both at room temperature)
CH4 has LDF and has higher vapor pressure because less IMF and is nonpolar. It does not stick very well to other CH4 so easily becomes a vapor. NH3 has LDF, dipole, and H-bond.
The amount of energy needed to melt a substance at its melting point is called the heat of fusion and for eager the value is 6.01 kJ/mol. The amount of energy needed to vaporize a substance at its boiling point is called the heat of vaporization and for water the value is 40.7 kJ/mol. Use the relative distances in the states of matter and the concepts of intermolecular forces to explain the difference.
Ice to liquid; distance increases, H-bond to H-bond
Liquid to gas; distance REALLY increases, H-bond to no attraction, breaks all H-bonds, need more energy to do that
CO2 melts at -78 C and SiO2 mys at 1650 C.
a) Identify the type of solid each substance forms.
b) Justify the difference in melting points.
a) CO2 is a molecular solid and SiO2 is a covalent network.
b) CO2 is a molecular solid therefore when it melts only IMFs are being broken. These are the weakest forces so very little energy is required to my which results in a very low boiling point. SiO2 is a covalent network solid therefore when it melts covalent bonds must be broken. Covalent bonds require a large amount of energy to be broken which results in a very high boiling point.
Classify Cl2, Ni, BN, and FeS as ionic, molecular, covalent network, or metallic solids and arrange them in order of increasing melting points.

For each type of solid, indicate the type of attractive forces that are broken upon melting, and describe the individual particles that makes sense up the resulting liquid.
The binding forces in each solid are responsible for certain properties associated with each type of solid.
Explain why covalent network solids melt St a much higher temperature than molecular solids.

Sample 1 and Sample 2 represent the same gas at 298 K. Identify the gas that is more likely to deviate from ideality and justify your selection.
Sample 2 is more likely to deviate because more IMF from being closer together.
NO2 and CO2 have a similar molecular weight. Which gas would you predict to deviate from an ideal gas? Justify your selection.
NO2 is polar and has a strong dipole moment so more IMF than CO2 = less ideal.
