Chapter 3, Problem 3.9P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The types of intermolecular forces present in acetic acid and sodium acetate are to be stated.

Concept introduction: According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, when an acid donates a proton the species formed is known as conjugate base and when the base accepts a proton the species formed is known as conjugate acid.

The intermolecular forces are the forces that exist in between the two or more atoms in a compound. Due to strong intermolecular forces, the molecule will require more energy to break the bonds.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the fact that the melting point of sodium acetate is higher than the melting point of acetic acid is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The melting point of compounds depends upon the molecular weight and the intermolecular forces present in the compounds. The intermolecular forces are the forces that exist in between the two or more atoms in a compound. Due to strong intermolecular forces, the molecule will require more energy to break the bonds. The compounds that have ionic bonding and hydrogen bonding will possess higher melting point.
