Why does ch3coch3 has stronger intermolecular forces than c2h5oc2h5? even though both have dipole-dipole as their imf, but c2h5oc2h5 has a larger molecular weight and as the molecular weight increases, the imf get stronger. so why it is the opposite here?

8 carbon atoms forming single bonds with 18 hydrogen atoms; a triple bond exists between the third and fourth carbon atom from the right

explanation:

the reaction mixture contains some ammonia, plus a lot of unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen. the mixture is cooled and compressed, causing the ammonia gas to condense into a liquid. the liquefied ammonia is separated and removed. the unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are then recycled back into the reactor .
