Question

What is the maximum number of hydrogen bonds that can be formed in a sample containing 1.0 mol (NÅ molecules) liquid HF? Compare with the maximum number that can form in 1.0 mol liquid water.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In one mole of liquid HF , no of molecules is 6.02 x 10²³.

Each molecule forms two hydrogen bonds on an average so no of hydrogen bonds per mol ih HF is

2 x 6.02 x 10²³.

= 12.04 x 10²³ .

In water no of hydrogen bonds per molecule of water is 4 . So in one mole of water no of hydrogen bonds is

4 x 6.02 x 10²³.

= 24.08 x 10²³ .
