Consider the boiling points of increasingly larger hydrocarbons. More carbons means a greater surface area possible for hydrophobic interaction, and thus higher boiling points. As you would expect, the strength of intermolecular hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions is reflected in higher boiling points.
How do you determine boiling point?
- Take a small test tube and fill it two-third with the given liquid whose boiling point is to be determined. ...
- Clamp the thermometer carrying test tube in an iron stand through a cork. ...
- Take a capillary tube 5-6 cm in length and seal it at about one cm from one end by heating it in flame and giving a slight twist.
How do you know if a boiling point is high or low?
Types of Molecules: the types of molecules that make up a liquid determine its boiling point. If the intermolecular forces between molecules are: relatively strong, the boiling point will be relatively high. relatively weak, the boiling point will be relatively low.
