How many hydrogen bonds can CH2O make to water

Chemistry

VladimirAG [237]3 years ago

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: 

<span>H2C=O---------H-OH </span>

<span>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. </span>

<span>Formaldehyde in aqueous solution is in equilibrium with its hydrate. </span>

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

What is the volume of 0.200 mol of an ideal gas at 200. kPa and 400. K?
viva [34]

The ideal gas under STP is 22.4 L/mol. While the gas has a rule of P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2. So the volume under 101 kPa and 273 K is 0.2*22.4=4.48 L.

Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

  • The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
  • The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.

A food processing plant discharges 40 cfs (cubic feet per second) of process water containing an ultimate BOD (L0) of 25 mg/L an
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The right solution according to the question is provided below.

Explanation:

According to the question,

(a)

The initial conditions will be:

DO = \frac{(40\times 1.8)+(260\times 7.6)}{40+260}

      = \frac{2048}{300}

      = 6.826 \ mg/L

The initial oxygen defict will be:

Do = 8.5-6.826

     = 1.674 \ mg/L

The initial BOD will be:

Lo = \frac{(40\times 25)+(260\times 3.6)}{40+260}

    = \frac{1936}{300}

    = 6.453 \ mg/L

(b)

The time reach minimum DO:

tc = \frac{1}{(kr-kd)} ln{(\frac{0.76}{0.61} )[1-\frac{1.674(0.76-0.61)}{0.61\times 6.453} ]}

   = \frac{1}{0.15}\times ln \ 1.158

By putting the values of log, we get

   = 0.973 \ days

The distance to reach minimum DO will be:

Xc = \frac{1.1\times 3600\times 24}{5280}\times 0.973 \ days

    = 18\times 0.973

    = 17.5 \ miles
