Two molecules that contain the same number of each kind of atom but have different molecular structures are said to be isomers of each other. For example, both ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether have the formula C2H6O. CH3-O-CH3 (dimethyl ether) CH3-CH2-OH (ethyl alcohol) 4. Which substance would you expect to be more volatile? А. CH3-O-CH3 (dimethyl ether) В. CH3-CH2-OH (ethyl alcohol) 5. Which would you expect to have higher boiling point? А. CH3-O-CH3 (dimethyl ether) В. CH3-CH2-OH (ethyl alcohol) 6. Which of the following will explain your answers in # 4 & # 5? A. Ethyl alcohol has higher molar mass than dimethyl ether thus stronger intermolecular forces. B. Hydrogen bond exists in ethyl alcohol while weak dipole-dipole forces exist in dimethyl ether. C. Hydrogen bond exists in dimethyl ether while dispersion forces exist in ethyl alcohol. D. Dimethyl ether has larger surface area than ethyl alcohol.
