Interpretation:
The fate of the world if the hydrogen bonding becomes very weak and the boiling point of water falls to
Concept Introduction:
One of the important intermolecular forces present in the polar molecules is the hydrogen bonding force. Hydrogen bonding is observed for molecules having hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen or oxygen or fluorine and another molecule having an unshared pair of electron on nitrogen or oxygen or fluorine atom. Hydrogen bonding is stronger than the London dispersion force and the dipole-dipole force.
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of that liquid becomes equal to the surrounding pressure. At the boiling point, the liquid changes its state to vapor. The boiling point of a substance depends on the intermolecular forces present in the liquid state of that substance. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher is the boiling point of the liquid.

A catalyst is used. b. Temperature is increased. c. Reactant concentration is increased. d. All of the abovearrow_forwardpls helparrow_forwardState the reason why compound A (m.p. 99-100°C) is heated under vacuum.1. So that the sample heating temperature is not too high when heated under vacuum.2. So that the temperature is higher than the melting point of compound A.3. So that cold water is not required in the sublimator.arrow_forward
- To find the theoretical % yield of a given reaction:1. actual amount obtained once crystallized2. (actual amount obtained / theoretical amount) x 1003. maximum amount of product that can be obtained / amount of initial reactantarrow_forwardThe reason activated carbon decolorizes and purifies a product is:1. It helps dissolve the product and then recrystallize it.2. It reacts with impurities in the product and removes them.3. It retains impurities by adsorption, purifying the product.arrow_forwardThe principle of a rotary evaporator is the same as that of:1. vacuum distillation2. reflux3. fractional distillationarrow_forward
