When chemists convert ethene (C2H2) to ethanol (CH3CH2OH), they have a mixture of the two gaseous substances. Why do chemists then lower the temperature of the mixture?
Answer
A
to collect liquid ethene and leave ethanol as a gas because ethene has stronger dipole-dipole forces
B
to collect liquid ethene and leave ethanol as a gas because ethanol has stronger London dispersion forces
C
to collect liquid ethanol and leave ethene as a gas because ethanol has hydrogen bonds
D
to collect liquid ethanol and leave ethene as a gas because ethene has stronger London dispersion forces
