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.
