Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The maximum number of hydrogen bonds that can form between a dimethylamine molecule and other dimethylamine molecules has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Due to the lone pair of electrons that is present on the nitrogen in the amine functional group, hydrogen bonding is possible between amine molecules and also with water molecules.
(b)
Interpretation:
The maximum number of hydrogen bonds that can form between a dimethylamine molecule and other water molecules has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Amine is an organic compound that has nitrogen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom as its functional group.
Due to the lone pair of electrons that is present on the nitrogen in the amine functional group, hydrogen bonding is possible between amine molecules and also with water molecules.

- What kind of intermolecular forces act between a chloromethane molecule and a hydrogen chloride molecule?arrow_forwarda)why can esterification also be considered to be a neutralization reaction? b)What is distillation? How would distillation be used to purify an ester?arrow_forward23. Suppose that you are working with four unknown compounds in a chemistry laboratory. Your teacher tells you that these compounds are alkane, alcohol, ester and organic acid. Use the table of physical properties shown below to identify each unknown compound. Compound A is Compound C is Compound Boiling point A B C D -89°C 77°C Odour 118°C Odourless Sweet 78°C Sharp, antiseptic Very polar smell Molecular polarity Non-polar Polar Sharp, vinegar smell Very polar Compound B is Compound D isarrow_forward
- The following fatty acid is ______ and would more likely be a(n) ______ at room temperature.arrow_forwardCompare the boiling point of 1-propanol, ethylene glycol and ethanethiol. What does this mean about the intermolecular forces each compound experiences?arrow_forwardRules: • Compounds with the capability of forming hydrogen bonds have stronger intermolecular forces than compounds which have polar bonds/dipole-dipole forces. • Carboxylic acids have 2 hydrogen bonding sites, therefore carboxylic acids have stronger hydrogen bonds than alcohols. • Compounds with one hydrogen bond are soluble in water. The solubility limit is 5 carbons for every one hydrogen bond, this means a compound that has 2 hydrogen bonds can dissolve in water with 10 carbons. • Compounds capable of forming hydrogen bonds have the highest melting point and boiling point. Answer the following questions: 1. Match the hydrocarbons provided with the relevant physical property. You may find it useful to draw Lewis structures to find your answer. C2H6, C12H24, CH4, CeHe . Highest intermolecular force? H&C Lowest intermolecular force? Molecule with the highest boiling point? Soluble in water? Lowest Boiling point?arrow_forward
