Question 1
1.

Read the following passage and then answer the next two questions.
Graduate students are conducting research on the intermolecular forces of various substances. As part of their research, they conducted two experiments in which they investigated various bulk characteristics of different substances. In their first experiment, they explored the boiling points of various liquids. In their second experiment, they investigated the melting points of different compounds.
Question 2
2.

Question 3
3.
In their second experiment, the graduate students compared the melting points of methane, isopropyl alcohol, zinc chloride, magnesium chloride, and sodium chloride. Look at the graph.
The graph shows that molecular substances tend to melt at __________ temperatures. This is because intermolecular attractions are __________ than ionic bonds.

Which of the following statements about volatility are true? Select all that apply.
Volatility is a measure of how easily a liquid evaporates.
Volatility is a measure of how easily a liquid condenses.
Volatile liquids have a large number of molecules in the gas phase above the liquid.
Volatile liquids have a small number of molecules in the gas phase above the liquid.
Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher volatility.
Stronger intermolecular forces result in lower volatility.
In their first experiment, the graduate students determined the boiling points of pentane, hexane, heptane, and octane
Look at the graph.
Which of the four molecular compounds has the weakest intermolecular forces?
pentane
hexane
heptane
octane
  1. Organic chemists identified four different liquids of varying volatilities that they want to test further. They want to compare the overall volatility and intermolecular forces of these liquids.
Look at the picture.


For a situation where the beakers are closed, the circles indicate the amount of liquid volatility. A beaker with a large number of circles would have more liquid volatility than a beaker with only a few circles.
Which option correctly ranks the liquids in the order of increasing intermolecular forces?
I<III<II<IV
II<III<I<IV
IV<III<II<I
III<II<I<IV
Which of the molecules has the highest boiling point?
Liquid 4: CH3CH2CH2CH3
Liquid 1: CH4
Liquid 2: CH3CH3
Liquid 3: CH3CH2CH3
Water and ammonia molecules are roughly the same size and the same mass but ammonia boils at -28°F (-33°C) and water boils at 212°F (100°C). What can we conclude about the intermolecular forces between water and ammonia?
