### Question 2Water has a higher boiling point than acetone does. Which of the following statements about water and acetone in the liquid state must be true?A) The density of water is greater than that of acetone.B) The density of water is less than that of acetone.C) The attractions between particles in water are greater than those in acetone.D) The attractions between particles in water are weaker than those in acetone.---#### AnalysisThe question focuses on understanding the physical properties of water and acetone in their liquid states, particularly concerning boiling points, density, and intermolecular forces. - **Option C** is selected: It asserts that the attractions (intermolecular forces) between particles in water are greater than those in acetone. Since water has a higher boiling point, it typically indicates stronger intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding.

Explain hydrogen bonding and how it contributes to the unique properties of water such a surface tension and boiling point
Ice floats because of the electronegativity of oxygen that withdraws electron density from the covalently bonded hydrogens. This results in a permanent dipole, leaving a partial positive charge on the hydrogens. The extra electron density on the oxygen leaves a partial negative charge. Therefore, water is a polar molecule and has the ability to form hydrogen bonds. These properties explain many of water's characteristics, including why ice is less dense than liquid water.
