Only question 12 please
c. How does this difference help us explain the difference in properties? Specifically, how
can this difference in bonding help explain why NaCl is a solid at room temperature
but H,0 is a liquid?
The dipole attractions are stronger than H-bonding. Therefore, NaCO will have
stronger attraction than H,0. Hence, NaCl is solid but H,0 is liquid.

10. If water is not a salt, why do you think it is good at dissolving salts?
Because water is a solvent only for polar compounds.
