Question

Indicate the type of solute-solvent interaction that should be most important in each of the following solutions.a. LiCl in waterb. NF3 in acetonitrile (CH3CN)c. CCl4 in benzene (C6H6)d. methylamine (CH3NH2) in watere. Dispersion forcesf. Dipole-dipole forcesg. Ion-dipole forcesh. Hydrogen bonding

Answer 1

Explanation:

a. LiCl is an ionic molecule whereas water is a polar molecule with net dipole moment in it. There LiCl in water would have an ion-dipole force of interaction.

b. Both NF3 and CH3CN have dipole moment in them, since both are polar molecule. Hence, there would be dipole-dipole interaction.

c. Here both CCl4 and benzene are non polar molecules therefore, they have London dispersion force of interaction.

d. In methylamine and water both have hydrogen bonding in them. The nitrogen of CH3NH2 forms hydrogen bond with water.
