The boiling points of different substances are given in the table below.

Substance
Boiling point (°C)
Acetic acid
118.1
Benzene
80.2
Chloroform
61.2
Water
100.0

Which substance most likely has the strongest intermolecular forces?
acetic acid
benzene
chloroform
water

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) acetic acid

Explanation:

Acetic acid most likely has the strongest intermolecular forces. Hence, option A is correct.

What is the boiling point?

The boiling point of a substance is the point at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the surrounding pressure and water is 313k for absolute temperature and 212°F for Fahrenheit.

The intermolecular force of attraction depends on the strength or extent of Hydrogen bonding present in a substance.

Benzene and chloroform do not have hydrogen bonding being non-polar molecules.

Water has hydrogen bonding being polar.

However acetic acid being the most polar has the maximum hydrogen bonding.

Thus acetic acid has the strongest intermolecular forces of attraction.
