For which of the following parameters would the structural isomers and be expected to have the same values? (Assume ideal behavior)

  1. A
    Heat of vaporization
  2. B
    Gaseous densities at the same temperature and pressure
  3. C
    Boiling points
  4. D
    Vapor pressure at the same temperature

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

(ethanol) and (dimethyl ether) are structural isomers with the same molecular formula and thus the same molecular weight.
Density of a gas .
At the same temperature () and pressure (), since the molecular weights () are identical, their gaseous densities will be the same.
Other properties like boiling point, vapor pressure, and heat of vaporization depend on intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding in ethanol vs. dipole-dipole in ether), which are different.
