Question

The predominant intermolecular forces present in ethyl acetate, a liquid, are ______.

Options

• London dispersion and dipole-dipole

• hydrogen bonding and London dispersion

• Dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding

• London dispersion, dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding

Answer 1

The predominant intermolecular forces present in ethyl acetate, a liquid, are London dispersion and dipole-dipole.

Explanation:

Because ethyl acetate is a polar molecule, it will exhibit dipole-dipole interaction and London dispersion in its liquid state.
