(a) Using Trouton’s rule, estimate the boiling point of dimethyl ether, CH3OCH3, given that H(vap) = 21.51 kJ/mol.
(b) Using standard reference sources available in your library or on the Internet, find the actual boiling point of dimethyl ether and compare this value with the value obtained by using Trouton’s rule. Explain any difference.
How would you explain the difference between the estimated boiling point and the actual boiling point?
