At 50 degrees Celsius and standard pressure inter-molecular forces of attraction are strongest in a sample of ethanoic acid.
Ethanoic acid has hydrogen atom bonded with a more electronegative atom; Oxygen. As a result, the molecule possesses strong intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds. Therefore; ethanoic acid, and all other carboxyllic acids have the tendency to form dimers.
Using a calculator:

Answer:
The correct option here is the first option
Explanation:
Covalent bond is the bond that involves the sharing of electrons between the participating atoms. The electrons (in the outermost shells of the atoms) that are involved this sharing are called the "shared pair" while those electrons (in the outermost shells of the atoms) that are not involved in this sharing are called the "lone pair". Bonding eventually leads to each of the participating atoms achieving it's octet configuration.
Carbon will bind covalently with fluorine (to form carbon tetrafluoride) with each of the electrons on the outermost shell of the carbon been shared covalently with fluorine atoms (that also requires just one electron to achieve it's octet configuration). Thus, at the end, we would have one carbon atom being covalently linked to four flourine atoms.
<span>The average molar bond enthalpy of the carbon-hydrogen bond in a CH4 molecule is 416 KJ/mol.
(+716.7 + (4 x 218) - (- 74.6) ) / 4
= + 1663.3 / 4
= 416</span>
