(a)
Interpretation:
The maximum number of hydrogen bonds that can be formed between two butanoic acid molecule has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Hydrogen-bond is a weak force of attraction. If a hydrogen atom is bonded to a more electronegative atom, then there is possibility of hydrogen-bond formation. Carboxylic acids form two hydrogen bonds with another
Carboxylic acid forms hydrogen-bond to water molecule readily. This results in solubility in water. Unsubstituted monocarboxylic acids that contain one to four carbon atoms are miscible with water. As the carbon number increases, the solubility decreases. Dicarboxylic acid that have short-chain are water soluble.

Concept Introduction:
Hydrogen-bond is a weak force of attraction. If a hydrogen atom is bonded to a more electronegative atom, then there is possibility of hydrogen-bond formation. Carboxylic acids form two hydrogen bonds with another carboxylic acid molecule to form a dimer.
Carboxylic acid forms hydrogen-bond to water molecule readily. This results in solubility in water. Unsubstituted monocarboxylic acids that contain one to four carbon atoms are miscible with water. As the carbon number increases, the solubility decreases. Dicarboxylic acid that have short-chain are water soluble. Aromatic carboxylic acids are insoluble in water.

- Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. Describe how electronegativity is illustrated on the periodic table including trends between groups and periods and significance of atom size.arrow_forwardDefine the term “transition.” How does this definition apply to the transition metals?arrow_forwardDescribe how the properties of the different types of elements (metals, nonmetals, metalloids) differ.arrow_forward
- Use a textbook or other valid source to research the physical and chemical properties of each element listed in Data Table 1 using the following as a guideline: Ductile (able to be deformed without losing toughness) and malleable (able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking) or not ductile or malleable Good, semi, or poor conductors of electricity and heat High or low melting and boiling points Occur or do not occur uncombined/freely in nature High, intermediate, or low reactivity Loses or gains electrons during reactions or is not reactivearrow_forwardProvide the Physical and Chemical Properties of Elements of the following elements listedarrow_forwardQuestions 4 and 5arrow_forward
- For a titration of 40.00 mL of 0.0500 M oxalic acid H2C2O4 with 0.1000 M KOH, calculate the pH at each of the following volume of KOH used in the titration: 1) before the titration begin;2) 15 mL; 3) 20 mL; 4) 25 mL; 5) 40 mL; 6) 50 mL. Ka1 = 5.90×10^-2, Ka2 = 6.50×10^-5 for oxalic acid.arrow_forwardPredict the major organic product(s), if any, of the following reactions.
