Which intermolecular force is predominantly responsible
Chapter 2, Problem 2(choose chapter or problem)
Which intermolecular force is predominantly responsible for each observation below?
(a) \(\mathrm{CH_3(CH3)_{29}CH_3}\), a component found in paraffin wax, is a solid at room temperature while octane is a liquid.
(b) \(\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH_2OH}\) has a higher boiling point than \(\mathrm{CH_4}\).
(c) \(\mathrm{CH_3CO_2H}\), which is found in vinegar, will dissolve in water but not in oil—for simplicity you may assume oil is \(\mathrm{CH_3(CH_2)_4(CH_3)}\).
