(a)
Interpretation:
The given compound is to be identified as either a protic or an aprotic solvent.
Concept introduction:
A protic solvent is a compound containing at least one hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine and capable of forming a hydrogen bond.
An aprotic solvent is the compound which cannot form a hydrogen bond due to lack of hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
Protic solvents can solvate both cations and anions, but aprotic solvents can solvate only cations and not anions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given compound is to be identified as either a protic or an aprotic solvent.
Concept introduction:
A protic solvent is a compound containing at least one hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine and capable of forming a hydrogen bond.
An aprotic solvent is the compound which cannot form a hydrogen bond due to lack of hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
Protic solvents can solvate both cations and anions, but aprotic solvents can solvate only cations and not anions.
(c)
Interpretation:
The given compound is to be identified as either a protic or an aprotic solvent.
Concept introduction:
A protic solvent is a compound containing at least one hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine and capable of forming a hydrogen bond.
An aprotic solvent is the compound which cannot form a hydrogen bond due to lack of hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
