Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The maximum number of hydrogen bonds that can form between a methanol molecule and other methanol molecules has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohol is an organic compound that has hydroxyl as its
Due to the polar group present in alcohol, it can form hydrogen bonding with water molecules. Hydrogen bond are weak force of attraction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The maximum number of hydrogen bonds that can form between a methanol molecule and water molecules has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohol is an organic compound that has hydroxyl as its functional group. Alcohols contain both nonpolar and polar groups in it. Hydroxyl group is the polar group and the alkyl group is the nonpolar group. Physical properties of alcohol depend on which of the two groups dominate.
Due to the polar group present in alcohol, it can form hydrogen bonding with water molecules. Hydrogen bond are weak force of attraction.
(c)
Interpretation:
The maximum number of hydrogen bonds that can form between an ethanol molecule and 1-propanol molecules has to be determined.
