Title: Question 9 Part C
Post by: joocoobpootooloo on June 09, 2010, 08:57:58 pm
Question 9C).....
if i forgot to mention hydrogen bonding in regards to propan-1-ol but mentioned its polarity and dipole dipole bonds and that butane is non polar and has dispersion forces i might get the 3 marks? :S

same with me, but i also stated that dispers Forces are weaker... i think wed get the marks

Didn't see the bloody negative.

FML.

i talked about:
the electronegativity of oxygen (dont know why)
the dispersion forces are weak in butane
the dispersion forces in butane are weaker then that of those in propan-1-ol..

hopefully i get at least 1 mark....

i mentioned that too.. i talked about absolutely everything you could talk about except hydrogen bonding :S

lol exactly tha same....i think dipole dipole should do it imo

hmm i feel slightly better now :D. wow going on vcenotes was the worst thing i could do for my confidence, i thought i mightve gotten full marks.. now il be happy with 71+.

i would die for a 71! haha

same -.- i was reading my response and i knew it made no sense at all. but ceebs reading the question again.

hydrogen bonding is a special case of dipole dipole. You probably would get away with it..

fingers crossed :P i went through thinking it was hydrogen bonding in my head in the exam but i convinced myself it wasnt somehow :S

I think that if you mentioned that propanol was polar due to the presence of the OH group, and could therefore form dipole-dipole bonds, then I think you might get away with not saying the words hydrogen bonding - but I think it's risky!

Not sure if you need to say polar but its mainly due to strong hydrogen intermolecular bonding which requires high energy (temperature) to break

Yessum, but I was suggesting that IF you forgot to say hydrogen bonding, then "very polar" would maybe make up for it?

Really have no idea but I just think polarity doesn't really have much to do with this? I thought polarity is mainly to describe solubility. But I am not 100% sure. Essentially polarity is determined by hydrogen bonding though...

Hydrogen bonding is determined by polarity, not the other way around.
Polarity does indeed have a lot to do with solubility, but it also has a lot to do with intermolecular bonding and therefore melting and boiling points. Non-polar molecules can form only dispersion forces between molecules, so the molecules are relatively easy to separate i.e. low boiling point. Polar molecules, depending on how polar, can form dipole-dipole bonds, which are stronger than regular dispersion forces, and if the molecules are polar enough, (NOF) then they can form hydrogen bonds, a particularly strong version of dipole-dipole attractions... and thus the more polar, the stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point...
