Answer to Question #175815 in General Chemistry for Nicole

Question

GUIDE QUESTION

Answer the following question based on your observations.

1. How will you describe the solubility of pure liquid materials on your set up 1 as represented by water as solvent and alcohol as solute?

2. Is there a strong force of interaction between the pure liquids? Why?

3. When you add a small amount of solute into a solvent in your set-up 2, what happen?

4. Will it have the same result uf you are going to use greater amount of salt? why?

5. How will you describe the forces of attraction between solid solute and liquid solvent?

6. How will you differentiate the results of set- up 3 and set-up 4?

7. Is there a difference in forces of interaction?

What other enrichment activities can i engaged in?

Conclusion: In what way does intermolecular forces similar and different from one another?

Answer 1

Based on the concentration of solute dissolves in a solvent, solutes are categorized into highly soluble, sparingly soluble or insoluble.

water is that it has strong intermolecular forces as a result of hydrogen bonding and the dipole moments created by the strong electronegative oxygen and the hydrogen.The energy required to break these bonds accounts for the relatively high melting point of water.

.If you add more solute to a solution, it will increase the concentration of the solution. If you add more solvent, it will decrease the concentration of the solution because of dilution.

Intramolecular forces, such as the covalent bonds that hold atoms together in molecules and polyatomic ions, intermolecular forces hold molecules together in a liquid or solid. Intermolecular forces are generally much weaker than covalent bonds.
