INTERPARTICLE FORCES
127
2. Applying principles of interparticle forces, account for each of the following.
(a) Account for the fact that solid KCl crystal does not conduct an electrical current, but when KCI is
dissolved in distilled water, the resulting solution has a high degree of electrical conductivity.
to
(b) True or False-Molecules of methanol, CH,OH, have four sites where hydrogen bonding can
occur. Explain.
(c) Mineral oil and water do not mix together, but the mineral oil floats on top of the water.
(i) What does this tell us about their relative densities? Please be specific.
(ii) What does this tell us about their relative interparticle forces?

(iii) If red food coloring dissolves in water, but not in mineral oil, what does this tell us about the
interparticle forces in the red food coloring?
