Which substance has the weakest intermolecular force between ethanol,nail polish remover and methylated spirits?

Discuss substance like alcohol, water, spirit evaporate faster than other and mention reason why are they evaporating faster than other.Also indicate their effect in intermolecular force

To determine which substance has the weakest intermolecular force between ethanol, nail polish remover, and methylated spirits, we need to consider the types of intermolecular forces present in each substance.

Ethanol (C2H5OH) is a commonly known alcohol. It has a polar molecule due to the presence of the hydroxyl group (OH), which creates hydrogen bonding between ethanol molecules. Hydrogen bonding is a strong intermolecular force.

Nail polish remover typically contains acetone (CH3COCH3) as the active ingredient. Acetone is a ketone and has a polar molecule. It exhibits dipole-dipole interactions, another type of intermolecular force. However, it does not have hydrogen bonding like ethanol.

Methylated spirits, also known as denatured alcohol, contains a mixture of ethanol and other solvents such as methanol (CH3OH). Similar to ethanol, methanol has a polar molecule with hydrogen bonding.

Comparing the three substances, ethanol and methylated spirits have similar intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding). Nail polish remover, on the other hand, only exhibits dipole-dipole interactions.

Since hydrogen bonding is stronger than dipole-dipole interactions, nail polish remover (acetone) would have the weakest intermolecular force among the three substances you mentioned.
