How many hydrogen bonds can CH2O make to water

1 answer:

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

Give the following for SO2 and BrF5:

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The given molecules are SO2 and BrF5.

Explanation:

Consider the molecule SO2:

The central atom is S.

The number of domains on S in this molecule is three.

Domain geometry is trigonal planar.

But there is a lone pair on the central atom.

So, according to VSEPR theory,

the molecular geometry becomes bent or V-shape.

Hybridization on the central atom is

$sp^{2}$ .

Consider the molecule BrF5:

The central atom is Br.

The number of domains on the central atom is six.

Domain geometry is octahedral.

But the central atom has a lone pair of electrons.

So, the molecular geometry becomes square pyramidal.

The hybridization of the central atom is $sp^{3} d^{2}$ .

The shapes of SO2 and BrF5 are shown below:

An unknown liquid has a mass of 22.1 g

Yuki888 [10]

M = 22.1 g
V = 52.3 mL
D = ?

D = m/V
= 22.1/52.3
= 22.1*10/52.3*10
= 221/523
= 0.4

There. I’m sorry i forgot what exactly was the S.I. unit of density :(

A metal pellet with a mass of 100.0 g, originally at 116°C, is dropped into a cup of water, initially at

Alina [70]

Answer:

C, 42g

Explanation:

In thermal equilibrium, both bodies (metal pellet and water) both have the same final temperature (46.3°C).

Assuming no heat is lost to surroundings,

the energy lost from metal pellet = energy gained for water

Since E = mc∆T

(energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change)

mc∆T (metal pellet) = mc∆T (water)

100 x 0.568 x (116-46.3) = m 4.184 (46.3 - 23.8)

3958.96 = 94.14m

m = 42g
