Question

In which of the following mixtures, the London dispersion force is acting as major intermolecular force of attraction?

• A. Sodium chloride and water
• B. Cyclohexane and carbon tetrachloride
• C. Water and ethyl alcohol
• D. Benzene and acetone

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Cyclohexane and carbon tetrachloride

Cyclohexane ($C_6{H}_{12}$) and carbontetrachloride ($CC{l}_4$) both are non-polar compounds. So, there exist London dispersion force between the constituent molecules as major intermolecular force of attraction.
