4. What is the relationship between a liquid's molecular weight and the strength of
intermolecular bonds (assume the liquid is only compared to other liquids that lo
similar intermolecular bonds)? Use the molecular structures and weights of ethano
and methanol, the types of intra- and inter- molecular bonds they make and the
observations you made of ethanol and methanol in this investigation to support your
answer.
What is different about water's molecular structure that makes water not follow this
relationship when compared to ethanol and methanol?
Bismuth forms two fluorides: BiF3 and BiF5. As is usually the case, the compound with the metal in the lower oxidation state has more ionic character,whereas that with the metal in the higher oxidation state has more covalent (molecular) character. Predict which bismuth fluoride will have the higher boiling point.
Predict which liquid has the higher vapor pressure. (Please explain)
C2H5OH or CH3OCH3

Mining these deposits to obtain methane (i.e. natural gas) has been discussed for years. Determine the percent water in methane hydrate.
