Question:

The standard molar enthalpy of vaporisation (\(\Delta_\text{vap} H^\circ\)) of A, B, and C liquids is 23.3, 41, and 29 kJ mol\(^{-1}\) respectively. The correct order of dipole-dipole attractive forces in these liquids is:

Show Hint

Stronger dipole-dipole forces correspond to higher enthalpies of vaporisation in polar liquids.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understand relation between enthalpy of vaporization and dipole-dipole forces.
Higher enthalpy of vaporization indicates stronger intermolecular forces, including dipole-dipole attractions.

Step 2: Compare enthalpies.
\[ \Delta_\text{vap} H^\circ: B (41) \gt C (29) \gt A (23.3) \] Hence, the dipole-dipole interactions follow the same order.

Step 3: Conclusion.
\[ \boxed{B \gt C \gt A} \]
