Using chemical structures, illustrate the differences in weak intermolecular interactions that would occur between both propane and 1-propanol and Carbowax 20M, a polyethylene glycol material. Draw a structure of the polyethylene glycol material to illustrate these interactions. Which of the two compounds do you expect to have longer retention time? Explain.

How do I draw the structure of cyanoacrylate and the polymer it forms with finger prints?
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) are examples of polymers, large organic molecules composed of repeating smaller units covalently bonded together. Polymers have very different properties depending (in part) on their functional groups. Discuss the water solubility of each polymer and suggest why PEG is used in shampoos, whereas PVC is used to make garden hoses and pipes.
Polymer molecular weight dictates the properties of polymer materials. Show this effect using poly(ethylene ).
Explain why aqueous NaOH solution can be stored indefinitely in polyethylene bottles, but spilling aqueous base on a polyester shirt or nylon stockings quickly makes a hole.
Farnesol is a terpene found in flowers. How does farnesol differ from other lipids that are not terpenes? Classify farnesol according to the isoprene rule. Describe how you would extract farnesol in a laboratory? How would this differ from commercial scale extraction? How do these extraction processes alter the boiling point of farnesol? HO, farnesol

What are the oxidation states, formal charge and hybridization of boron, carbon and oxygen atoms in the cross-linked polymer? 3. How would you expect the melting point of the polyvinyl alcohol would compare to that of the cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol. Explain how you arrived at your explanation?

Rubbing alcohol is often used as a disinfectant and sometimes as a component of handsanitizers. If you were to purchase a bottle of rubbing alcohol at a store, it would most likely sayisopropyl alcohol or isopropyl rubbing alcohol, although it is also called isopropanol. Ethylalcohol is also used in hand sanitizers, and is actually more commonly used. Why would a handsanitizer whose major component is ethyl alcohol evaporate more quickly than one whose majorcomponent is rubbing alcohol?
1. Which IMF or IMFs are correlated with molar mass? Describe this correlation 2. Heptane, hexane, and pentane are hydrocarbons. Rationalize the evaporation data of these substances based the type(s) of IMFs present in each and the relative strengths of these. 3. Ethanol, methanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol are alcohols. Rationalize the evaporation data of these substances based the type(s) of IMFs present in each and the relative strengths of these. (Hint: How are these molecules alike and how are they different?) 4. 1-propanol and 2-propanol are isomers, substances having the same chemical formula. Is the evaporation data for these substances the same or different? If different, can you account for why this may be the case from a comparison of the Lewis structures of each substance and the IMFs present in each substance? Explain. 5. Acetone and 2-propanol are chemically interconvertible. Reduction (by the addition of the equivalent of H2) of acetone yields 2-propanol. Conversely,…
