Explain how the size of hydrocarobon molecules affects the strength of intermolecular forces?

The longer the hydrocarbon chain, the stronger the intermolecular forces. This leads to higher boiling point, and these chains are likely to be less useful.


How are the empirical and molecular formulas for a compuond related?

An empirical formula is a brutto formula; a molecular formula explain the structure of a molecule.


Was the hardness of water increased or decreased by boiling explain?

1. Only the temporary hardness of water (caused by bicarbonates) is decreased by boiling: bicarbonates were transformed in insoluble carbonates and these compounds become a precipitate. 2. The permanent hardness is not influenced by temperature.


Explain why oil does not dissolve in water.?

The main intermolecular forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds which are pretty strong as far as intermolecular forces go. Between hydrocarbon chains (oil) the main intermolecular force are London force which are weaker. For two liquids to be miscible the intermolecular forces between them have to be similar in strength or they won't dissolve. Water and oil have different strengths of intermolecular bonds so don't mix.
