Consider the Boiling Points of the Following Compounds and Their

question 101

Multiple Choice

Consider the boiling points of the following compounds and their solubilities in room-temperature water. Why does the solubilities in water go down as the boiling points of these alcohols go up.

• A)Larger molecules are less attracted to one another by induced dipole-induced dipole as well as by dipole-dipole and dipole-induced dipole attractions.
• B)As the boiling increases, it is more difficult to keep the alcohol from evaporating out of solution.
• C)As the boiling point increases, the size of the alcohol molecules decreases.
• D)Larger molecules are more attracted to one another by induced dipole-induced dipole as well as by dipole-dipole and dipole-induced dipole attractions.
