Title:
Purpose:
To
study
the
infrared
Spectra
and
Pysical
Properties
of
Molescules
to
determine
what
kind
of
intra-molecular
bonds
are
present
within
the
molecules
and
what
kinds
of
intermolecular
bonds
are
present
between
the
molecules.

in
water
at

If
soluble,
it
is
considered
non-polar

If
not

(does

and
forms
a
substance
or
leaves
a
top
layer,
it
is
considered
polar
or
hydrogen

○
KCl
was
found
to
be
soluble
in

supporting
the
fact
that
it
is
an

○
Ethyl

alcohol,
and

were
all
found
to
be
soluble
in
water
supporting
the
fact
that
they
are

○
N-butyl
alcohol
seemed
to
be
partially
soluble
indicating
that
despite
its
hydrogen
bonding
character,
the
non-polar
4
carbon
chain
decreased
solubility
○
Pentane
and
n-propyl
chloride
are
insoluble
because
of
the
nonpolar

in
their

○
The
solubility
of
pentane
and
n-propyl
chloride
were
further
tested
and
they
were
found
to
be
soluble
in
one
another
indicating
that
they
are
nonpolar
compounds.

Molecular

can
be
determined
from
studying
the
physical
properties
of
the
molecules,
especially
the
boiling

of
liquid
materials.

will
measure
the

The
boiling
points
of
substances
are
greatly
affected
by
the
inter-molecular
forces
between
the
molecules
which
are
holding
them
together
in
aggregates
causing
them
to
exist
in
the
liquid
state.
The
stronger
these
forces,
the
more
energy
will
be
required
to
separate
the
aggregates
into
the
individual
gaseous
molecules
(the
higher
will
be
the
boiling
points
of
the
molecules
with
greater
intra-molecular
forces.)
The
relative
strength
of
inter-molecular
forces

Among
substances
with
relatively

intermolecular
forces,
the
higher
the
molecular
weight
the
greater
the
mass
of
the
molecules
and
the
greater
their
surface
area.
Greater
surface
area
causes
stronger
attractions
between
the
heavier
molecules
requiring
more
energy
to
separate
the
molecules
into
individual
gaseous
molecules,

Among
substances
with
relatively
similar
inter-molecular
forces
and
molecular
weights,
a
greater
degree
of
branching
causes
those
molecules
to
have
greater
symmetry.
Greater
symmetry
results
in
a
lower
surface
area
requiring
less

to

the

An
ionic
substance
(like
potassium
chloride,
KCl,)
should
have
the
highest
boiling
point
since
it
has
the
strongest
inter-molecular

and

have
