Draw all constitutional isomers with molecular formula c3h8o, and rank them in terms of increasing acidity:

Chemistry

There are only <em>three</em> constitutional isomers (see the image below).

Ethyl methyl ether is the least acidic because it has only C-H bonds. However, it should be more acidic than an alkane (pKₐ ≈ 50) because of the electron withdrawing effect of the O atom. I would expect it to have pKₐ ≈ 30.

The alcohols are <em>more acidic</em> because the O in the O- H bond is highly electron withdrawing. Alcohols typically have pKₐ ≈ 17.

Alkyl groups are electron-donating. This increases electron density in the OH bond and makes the acid weaker. Propan-2-ol has two methyl groups on the α-carbon, while propan-1-ol has one ethyl group. Thus propan-2-ol should be a <em>slightly weaker</em> acid than propan-1-ol.

What phase of matter has enough kinetic energy to partially overcome the intermolecular attraction between the particles, allowi
cluponka [151]

The answer is; liquid phase

The characteristics described in the question are those of a liquid. The forces between liquid particles are weaker than the forces between solid particles because the particles are further apart. The particles are not held in a  fixed position in the structure hence it can flow and take the shape of the container in which it is in.
