Answer:
The correct option is acetic acid
Explanation:
Distillation is the process of separating a mixture of substances based on differences in boiling points. During distillation, the compound with the lowest/least boiling point is distilled and collected first and then the one with the next least boiling point and it goes on like that.
From the explanation above, <u>acetic acid has the least boiling point (in the organic layer) with 118°C and thus will distill first</u>. This is then followed by isopentyl alcohol (130°C) and then isopentyl acetate (142°C) and finally sulfuric acid water (290°C).
Those are both correct! great job, keep up the good work (-:
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
All molecules possess the London dispersion forces. However London dispersion forces is the only kind of intermolecular interaction that exists in nonpolar substances.
So, the only kind of intermolecular interaction that exists in dimethyl ether is London dispersion forces.
As for ethyl alcohol, the molecule is polar due to the presence of polar O-H bond. In addition to London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions and specifically hydrogen bonding also occurs between the molecules.
Because ethyl alcohol is polar, it is more soluble in water than dimethyl ether.
