How does hydrogen bonding affect the physical properties of substances?

1 answer:

4 0

The melting and boiling point depend on the strength of the ihydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonding will cause the higher the melting and boiling points because more energy is needed to break bonds between molecules.
Hydrogen bonds affect solubility in water, molecules with hydrogen bonds dissolve better in water.

Given the equation representing a reversible reaction:which formula represents the h+ acceptor in the forward reaction?

AnnyKZ [126]

Question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
.............................................................................................................................

Answer: Option A: HCO3-(aq.)

Reason:
From the reaction, it can be seen that following reaction occurs in forward direct

HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) → H2CO3(aq) + OH-(aq)

In above forward reaction, HCO3- accepts proton from H2O to generate H2CO3. Thus, according to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid-base, HCO3- is a base, while H2CO3 is a conjugate acid.
