Re: Hess's Law Problem (8.55 in the Sixth Edition)

We must always make sure our equations are balanced first before we do anything else. Since there were 3 Oxygens in the products side, we must multiply Oxygen by 3/2 to balance the equation.

Re: boiling points

Compounds with stronger intramolecular forces will have higher boiling points, because it will be harder to break apart those bonds. Meanwhile, compounds with weaker intramolecular forces will have lower boiling points, because it doesn't take as much work to break apart those bonds.
