Question

The boiling point of water, ethyl alcohol and diethyl ether are 100° C, 78.5°C and 34.6° C respectively. The intermolecular forces will be in the order of: (A) water > ethyl alcohol > diethyl ether (B) ethyl > alcohol > water > diethyl ether (C) diethyl > ethyl alcohol > water (D) diethyl ether > water > ethyl alcohol

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The boiling points of water, ethyl alcohol and diethyl ether are

10 0^{\circ} C, 78. 5^{\circ} C

and

34. 6^{\circ} C

respectively. Higher is the boiling point, higher is the strength of intermolecular forces.
The intermolecular forces will be in the order of Water > ethyl alcohol > diethyl ether.

Q. The boiling point of water, ethyl alcohol and diethyl ether are 100∘C,78.5∘C and 34.6∘C respectively. The intermolecular forces will be in the order of:

water > ethyl alcohol > diethyl ether

ethyl > alcohol > water > diethyl ether

diethyl > ethyl alcohol > water

diethyl ether > water > ethyl alcohol

The boiling points of water, ethyl alcohol and diethyl ether are 100∘C,78.5∘C and 34.6∘C respectively. Higher is the boiling point, higher is the strength of intermolecular forces. The intermolecular forces will be in the order of Water > ethyl alcohol > diethyl ether.
