In solid acetone below -95 °C, carbonyl dipoles align in fixed antiparallel configurations. The interaction energy between two molecules separated by r is inversely proportional to rⁿ. Find n.

Answer:
3.00
Solution:

For two fixed molecular dipoles, dipole-dipole interaction energy varies as 1/r³. Therefore n = 3.
