For each of the following pairs of substances, indicate which will have the higher enthalpy of fusion or vaporization. Explain your choice.
Vaporization:
H2O vs CH4
CH3CH2OH vs CH3OCH3
CH3CH2CH3 vs CH3CH2CH2CH3
Fusion:
H2O vs NaCL
NaCl vs MgO
C12H22O11 vs CaCl2
H2O has higher enthalpy of vapourization than CH4 because H2O contain strong intermolecular interaction than cH4.
CH3CH2OH has higher enthalpy of vapourization because of stronger intermolecular interaction.
CH3CH2CH2CH3 has higher enthalpy of vapourization because higher molar mass.
fusion:
NaCl has higher enthalpy of fusion because it is ionic solid.
MgO has higher heat of fusion than NaCl. because MgO has strong ionic interaction than NaCl
CaCl2 has higher enthalpy of fusion because it is ionic compound.
