How many hydrogen bonds can CH2O make to water

5 0

Hydrogen bonds are not like covalent bonds. They are nowhere near as strong and you can't think of them in terms of a definite number like a valence. Polar molecules interact with each other and hydrogen bonds are an example of this where the interaction is especially strong. In your example you could represent it like this:

H2C=O---------H-OH 

But you should remember that the H2O molecule will be exchanging constantly with others in the solvation shell of the formaldehyde molecule and these in turn will be exchanging with other H2O molecules in the bulk solution. 

Formaldehyde in aqueous solution is in equilibrium with its hydrate. 

H2C=O + H2O <-----------------> H2C(OH)2

Liquid water is about 800 times denser than dry air under standard conditions. Use kinetic molecular theory to explain this diff

Savatey [412]

Kinetic molecular Theory points:

1. Gases molecules are always in random motion.

2. Gases molecule collide with each other and with the walls of container.

3. Gases molecules total volume is negligible as compare to container.

4. There is no attractive forces between the gases particles

5. K.E is directly proportional to absolute temperature.

Why liquid are denser than gases according to K.M.T:

1. As gases are in random motion, so they have weak forces/ no attractive forces (Acc. to KMT) due to this they are apart as compare to liquid which have stronger forces are closer to each other. So volume of gases will be greater. d= m/v

2. K. E of gases are greater than liquid due to this gases move randomly, apart from each another. Due to this their volume will be greater. d= m/v

3. Gases molecules total volume is negligible as compare to container which show that gases molecules have large spaces between them which causes lower in density.
