Consider the following two compounds:
CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH 1-pentanol
CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 hexane
a. What are the different types of intermolecular forces that exist in each compound?
b. One of these compounds has a normal boiling point of 69°C, and the other has a normal boiling point of 138°C. What is the normal boiling point of hexane? Explain.
c. One of these compounds has a viscosity of 0.313 g/(cm∙s), and the other has a viscosity of 2.987 g/(cm∙s). Assign viscosities to 1-pentanol and to hexane.
d. Consider the compound CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2Cl. Where do you think the boiling point of this compound might lie: above both 1-pentanol and hexane, intermediate between these two compounds, or below both of these two compounds?
