Question

What conclusions can you draw about the relative strengths of the intermolecular attractive forces between acetone and water molecules? s of attraction between water -water and acetone-acetone are very strong, while the forces of attraction between water t the torc arteoan berwen water- water and acetone ee6one ure very weak, whilethe forces o atrnetion betwvcen water weak, while the forces ofa action between water f the forees of attraction between water-water and acetone - acetone are very weak, while the forces ofattraction between water d. the forces of attraction between water- water and acetone-acetone are very strong, while the forces of attraction between water- -acetone are relatively weak - acetone are very strong acetone are relatively weak

Explanation / Answer

the forces of attraction between water - water and acetone - acetone are very weak, while the forces of attraction between water are relatively week.

because the if the force of attraction between water and acetone are weak the force of attraction in the whole system will be weak as the intermolecular force acting here is just dipole interaction which is weaker than the hydrogen bonding involved between the water molecules
