Document Summary

It shows valency 4, ie. it can link to four other atoms including carbon itself. H-h bond is very strong, but valency is 1, so it can only link to another atom. Carbon is unique in the sense that all electronic and steric factors favor them to form large number of compounds. Catenation is the ability of a chemical element to form a long chain-like structure via a series of covalent bonds. Catenation occurs most readily in carbon, which forming covalent bonds with other carbon atoms. Carbon is most well known for its properties of catenation, with organic chemistry essentially being the study of catenated carbon structures. Carbon has the ability to form both sigma and pi bonds to. This is due to an overlap between pi-electron orbitals, allowing electron density to be shared and thus stabilising itself. the bond. Aliphatic hydrocarbons: boiling points and melting points increase as the size of the molecule increases.

Question 1:

Description: Water sticks to almost anything, especially itself. This is because of the network of hydrogen bonding that can interact with most compounds through adhesion and cohesion. On the other hand, mercury seems to only interact with itself. This is because it only has cohesion and almost no adhesion to the things around it.

Prompt: Propose a reason for why mercury has such strong cohesion and almost no adhesion. Please explain your answer.

Question 2:

Description: Carbon has been chosen to the central molecule in almost every molecule in living systems. This is due to its ability to make 4 covalent bonds without forming an ion.

Prompt: What other atoms could possibly replace carbon and what might be problematic in doing so? Please explain your answer.

The following table presents the solubilities of several gases in water at 25 °C under a total pressure of gas and water vapor of 1 atm. (a) What volume of CH₄(g) under standard conditions of temperature and pressure is contained in 4.0 L of a saturated solution at 25 °C? (b) Explain the variation in solubility among the hydrocarbons listed (the first three compounds), based on their molecular structures and intermolecular forces. (c) Compare the solubilities of O₂, N₂, and NO, and account for the variations based on molecular structures and intermolecular forces. (d) Account for the much larger values observed for H₂S and SO₂ as compared with the other gases listed. (e) Find several pairs of substances with the same or nearly the same molecular masses (for example, C₂H₄ and N₂), and use intermolecular interactions to explain the differences in their solubilities.

The corresponding volume is

b) All three molecules are nonpolar and form very weak interactions with the water molecules. The solubility of ethane is higher that the solubility of methane as ethane is more massive molecule and forms stronger dispersion forces with the water molecule. Ethene is the most soluble gas as the C atoms in ethene are planar, sp² hybridized, and there are π electrons in the orbitals perpendicular to the carbon atoms. π electrons are less tightly held by the nucleus than σ electrons, allowing the dipole of water molecule to disturb the electron density more easily, leading to stronger dipole-induced dipole interactions.

c) The molecular weight is similar for three gases. O₂ and N₂ are nonpolar gases, but more water molecules surround O₂ as it is larger molecule. The O–O bond (double bond) is longer than N–N bond (triple bond). The water attracts nonpolar gases through the weak dipole-induced dipole interactions. NO is the most soluble gas as it has polar bond and the overall molecule is polar as it is linear structure. Water dissolves it via stronger dipole-dipole interactions.

d) H₂S is capable to form weak hydrogen bonds with the water molecules, and these interactions are much stronger than dipole-dipole and dispersion forces. SO₂ is even more soluble in water as it reacts with the water forming H₂SO₃. The very high values for the solubility of gas are the sign that the gas chemically reacts with the solvent.

d) N₂ and CH₄. Solubility of N₂ is lower as N₂ is smaller molecule than CH₄ and less hydrated.

NO and C₂H₆ have similar water solubility. NO is more soluble than ethane and form dipole-dipole interactions, but the dispersion forces of ethane and water are stronger than dispersion forces between NO and water as ethane is larger, more polarizable molecule. The sum of all intermolecular interactions is similar for these two gases, leading to the similar water solubility.

NO and O₂. NO is more soluble as it is polar molecule and form stronger intermolecular forces with polar solvent molecules compared to nonpolar O₂ molecule.

Chemistry 162 Lab Activity

Introduction Water has an amazing ability to adhere (stick) toitself and to other substances. Hydrogen bonds form when hydrogenatoms covalently bonded to nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine(F) in the form of covalent compounds such as ammonia (NH3), water(H2O) and hydrogen fluoride gas (HF). In these molecules, thehydrogen atoms do not pull as strongly on the shared electrons asthe N, O, or F atoms. Therefore, the molecules are polar; thehydrogen atoms become positively charged and are able to formhydrogen bonds to negative ions or negatively charged parts ofother molecules (such as the N, O, and F atoms that becomenegatively charged in these compounds). Hydrogen bonds are not truebonds like covalent bonds or ionic bonds. Hydrogen bonds areattractions of electrostatic force caused by the difference incharge between slightly positive hydrogen ions and other, slightlynegative ions. These attractions are much weaker than true ionic orcovalent bonds, but they are strong enough to result in someinteresting properties.

In the case of water, hydrogen bonds form between neighboringhydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. Theattraction between individual water molecules creates a bond knownas a hydrogen bond (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1: Hydrogen bonds shown as the dotted lines between watermolecules.
Cohesion Molecules of pure substances are attracted to themselves.This sticking together of like substances is called cohesion.Depending on how attracted molecules of the same substance are toone another, the substance will be more or less cohesive. Hydrogenbonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other.Therefore, water is very cohesive.
Adhesion Adhesion is similar to cohesion, but it involves unlike(i.e. different) substances sticking together. Water is veryadhesive; it sticks well to a variety of different substances.Water sticks to other things for the same reason it sticks toitself â because it is polar so it is attracted to substances thathave charges. In this lab activity, you will be asked to use thematerials and procedures provided to explore the properties ofwater that involve both cohesion and adhesion. Be sure to writedown your observations and results as you progress. sults as youprogress.

Procedure

How many drops of water can you fit on the surface of a pennywithout the water spilling over?

Predict how many drops of water will fit on a penny. Record yourprediction.

Use the plastic pipette to drop water on the surface of a penny.Drop car

efully and slowly to fit as

many drops as possible on the penny. Count each drop until thewater spills over the side of the

penny and record your results.

Compare your results to those of your classmates. Record therange and calculate the average

number

of drops that fit on a penny.

Add more drops to the penny, without letting the water spillover. Carefully observe and draw the

water on the penny.

Record

a hypothesis for the behavior of water that you observed, usingthe language of cohesion

and adhesion

in relation to the water and the penny.

Record your results and

thinking in your notebook.

Predict what will

happen when you insert a toothpick into the surface of the waterpiled on the

penny. Record your prediction.

Insert the

toothpick

Try inserting the

toothpick

in various ways. Observe the surface of the water.

Pay special attention to

the water surface where the skewer enters the water.

Record your observations and draw what you see.

Repeat

procedures using a paper clip and the metal clip part of abinder clip. Try to indent the

pile of water as much as p

ossible without spilling it.

Record your observations and dra

w what you see, paying careful

attention to the surface of the
