Interpretation:
The hydrogen bonding between propanoic acid and ethyl methanoate molecule with water molecule has to be drawn. Among propanoic acid and ethyl methanoate, the one which has higher solubility in water has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
When hydrogen atom is connected to a highly electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine than partial charge separation is generated within the molecule. The hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge and electronegative atom gets partial negative charge. The bond formed between hydrogen atom of one molecule and electronegative atom of other molecule is termed as hydrogen bond.

- Using Lewis structures, draw a representation showing the strongest interaction that would be formed when propane mixes with water.arrow_forwardHydrogen peroxide is a liquid at room temperature with a boiling point of 150°C, whereas ethyne is a gas at room temperature with a boiling point of -84°C. Draw the molecules. Based on intermolecular forces, explain this difference in physical properties of these compounds that have similar chemical formulas and molar masses.arrow_forwardTrue or False. Organic compounds have covalent bonds and their intermolecular forces break fairly easily. Carbon atoms form double or triple bonds with carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen. Electrons are shared by the bonding nuclei as their atomic orbitals overlap.arrow_forward
- Explain why salicylic acid has a higher melting point than benzoic acid.arrow_forwardConsider these five compounds. Name each of the compounds. Which of them has the highest boiling point based only on what you see in their chemical structures? Which has the lowest boiling point? Why?arrow_forwardIsopropyl alcohol is often used as a disinfectant.What are the consequences if this bottle of isopropyl alcohol is left in a parked car? Relate your answer to the properties of alcohol.arrow_forward
- Would you expect butanone, CH;COCH;CH3 where the CO is a double bond, to have a higher or lower boiling point than acetone? Explain your reasoning. Propanol, CH3CH2CH2OH, has a molar mass of 60.1 g/mol and a boiling point of 97.4°C. Use intermolecular forces to explain why propanol has a higher boiling point than butane or acetone.arrow_forwardRead and answer the ff queries: 1.) Arrange ice, liquid water, or water vapor according to their decreasing strength of intermolecular forces. Explain why are they arranged like that. 2.) What is amphiphilic substance? What special properties do they have that strictly polar or strictly nonpolar substances lack? Give three examples of amphiphilic substances. 3.) While there is nothing wrong in using room temperature or cold water to wash and rinse dishesand utensils, how is it that using hot (but not really boiled) water effectively removes the grease and stains attached to the dishes and utensils? Thankyou :)arrow_forwardFatty acids are molecules with a carboxylic acid on one end and long hydrocarbon chain on the other. The sodium salts of fatty acids (such as sodium strearate, shown below) are commonly used in soaps to trap nonpolar dirt and grease particles. Illustrate and explain on a molecular level how multiple sodium stearate molecules can come together to trap dirt particles.arrow_forward
- 1. Substance X dissolves in Substance Y. Which of the following statements is true? a.Substances X and Y do not have a significantly large difference of polarities. b.Substance X has many hydroxyl substituents that can hydrogen bond with the n-alkane Substance X. c.Substance Y is non-polar and is able to dissolve the polar Substance X. d.Substance Y is polar and is capable of dipole-dipole interaction with the nonpolar Substance X. 2. Substances A,B,C,D, and E are mixed together. Substances B and E form into a separate immiscible layer above the solution. Which of the following statements is true? a.B and E are non-polar. They can hydrogen bonds with each other in order to separate from the polar A,C, and D b.B and E have similar polarities with A, C, and D. c.B and E are non-polar. A,C and D are polar. d.B and A are polar. It follows the like dissolves like rule.arrow_forwardConsider the structures of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid. What structural features are most likely responsible for the difference in the melting points of the two molecules? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardwhich of these compounds have the highest boiling point? and which one is the lowest? (does it have to do with hydrogen bonding?)arrow_forward
