1) Given the following “substances” and their normal boiling points, in celsius.

Question

G:43.8 Celsius J:93.7 M:56.7
T: 83.5 R:63.6

Which set below correctly lists some of these liquids in order of increasing intermolecular forces at 20 oC?

a) G < R < J
b) J < T < R
c) R < T < G
d) G < J < M
e) J < R < M

I am not sure how to figure this out. Would the smallest temperature be the biggest?

Answer 1

I recommend you list these in increasing boiling point, then look at a and see if that satisfies the criteria.
