How does water’s ability to form hydrogen bonds explain why ice is less dense than liquid water?

Chemistry

Karolina [17]3 years ago

Answer:

As water freezes, a crystalline structure preserved by hydrogen bonding is formed by water molecules. Less dense than liquid water is solid water, or ice. Ice is less dense than water since molecules are pulled farther apart by the direction of hydrogen bonds, which decreases density.

At high pressures, real gases do not behave ideally. calculate the pressure exerted by 25.0 g h2 at 20.0°c in a 1.00 l container
Gemiola [76]
Van der Waals equation is as follows:
(P + a(n/V)²) * (V -nb) = n RT
Moles of H₂ is calculated by dividing 25 g by 2 (molecular weight of H₂) = 12.5 moles
Values of a and b are:
a = 0.02444 atm L² / mol
b = 0.0266 L / mol
(P + 0.02444 (12.5/1)²) * (1 -(12.5 *0.0266)) = 12.5 * 0.0821 * 293 K
If we solve this equation we get pressure of 412.29 atm

With ideal gas equation we get:
P V = n R T
P = n * R * T / V = (12.5 * 0.0821 * 293 / 1) = 300.69 atm
