Butane, chloroethane, acetone, and 1-propanol all have approximately the same molecular weights. Data on their boiling points
and solubilities in water are listed in the table below.

On the basis of dipole moments (molecular polarities) and/or hydrogen bonding, explain in a qualitative way the differences in
the
(a) boiling points of butane and chloroethane.
(b) water solubilities of chloroethane and acetone.
(c) water solubilities of butane and 1-propanol.
(d) boiling points of acetone and 1-propanol.
Answer:
(a) Butane is nonpolar; chloroethane is polar. Intermolecular forces of attraction in liquid chloroethane are larger due to
dipole-dipole attraction; thus a higher boiling point for chloroethane.
(b) Both chloroethane and acetone are polar. However, acetone forms hydrogen bonds to water much more effectively than
chloroethane does, resulting in greater solubility of acetone in water.
(c) Butane is non-polar and cannot form hydrogen bonds; 1-propanol is polar and can form hydrogen bonds. 1-propanol can
interact with water by both dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonds. Butane can interact with water by neither means.
Thus, 1-propanol is much more soluble.
(d) Acetone molecules are attracted to each other by van der Waals attraction and dipole-dipole attraction. 1-propanol
molecules show these two types of attraction. However, 1-propanol can also undergo hydrogen bonding. This
distinguishing feature results in the higher boiling point of 1-propanol.

1977 D (Mandatory)
The state of aggregation of solids can be described as belonging to the following four types:
(1) ionic (3) covalent network
(2) metallic (4) molecular
For each of these types of solids, indicate the kinds of particles that occupy the lattice points and identify forces among these
particles. How could each type of solid be identified in the laboratory?
