1. The vapor pressure of dichloromethane, CH2Cl2, at 0C is 134mmHg. The normal boiling point of dichloromethane is 40C. Calculate its molar heat of vaporization
The answer is in kilojoules per mole.
I know i use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation but i don't know what to plug in.

Well, 0 degrees C the v.p. is 134. I would call those T1 and P1 (Be sure to convert T1 to Kelvin).
The problem lists the normal boiling point as 40 degrees C. Convert that to Kelvin. The vapor pressure at the normal boiling point is 760 mm Hg. So those are T2 and P2. R is 8.314 J/mol. Delta H will have the units J/mol.

A and B are ok. Think about them while answering the others. A liquid that has low vapor pressure has a high boiling point, does it not. And a liquid that has high vapor pressure has a low boiling point.
Surface tension is how the surface molecules stick together. High surface tension means they stick together very well, low surface tension means they don't. Viscosity is how "thick" the material is. If it pours easily, it has low viscosity; if it pours with difficulty (like molasses) it has high viscosity. High viscosity means the molecules don't slide past each other easily so they must have high intermolecular forces.

I would think that the higher the molecular weight and the longer the chain, the easier it would be to get tangled up with each other Wouldn't that sound reasonable to you? Then 3 would have the highest viscosity and 1 would have the lowest. Check my thinking.
