Answer 1

Answer:

(a) ion-dipole

(b) hydrogen bond

(c) dipole-induced dipole

Explanation:

What is the strongest type of intermolecular force between (imf) solute and solvent in each solution?

(a) CsCl(s) in H₂O(l)

CsCl is a salt that dissociates in the ions Cs⁺ and Cl⁻. H₂O is a polar molecule. Then, the imf is ion-dipole.

(b) CH₃-CO-CH₃(l) (acetone) in H₂O(l)

Acetone is partially polar and H₂O is very polar. The electronegative O in acetone can interact with the H with a positive charge density of water. The resulting imf is hydrogen bond.

(c) CH₃OH(l) in CCl₄(l)

CH₃OH is polar and CCl₄ is nonpolar. CH₃OH will induce a dipole in CCl₄ and the resulting imf is dipole-induced dipole.
