2016-06-12 9:07 pm
Strontium Carbonate, Ethane, Methanol (CH4O), dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3).

If i dont know their boiling points and Im given a question like this on a test, how would i figure out their order?

Strontium carbonate has the highest boiling point. This is because strontium carbonate is an ionic compound in which the opposite ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces, while all others are molecular compounds in which the molecules are held together by weaker intermolecular forces.

Among the rest three molecular compounds, methanol has the highest boiling point. This is because methapol molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds which is strongest intermolecular forces for molecules in comparable sizes.

Dimethyl ether is a polar compound in which the molecules are held together by dipole-dipole attractions, while ethane is a non-polar compound in which the molecules are held together by weaker instantaneous dipole - induced dipole attraction. Therefore, the melting point of dimethyl ether is higher than that of ethane.

Boiling point : ethane < dimethyl ether < methanol < strontium carbonate
