QUESTION:

Problem 31P

What is the strongest interparticle force in each substance?

(a) H3PO4

(b) SO2

(c) MgCl2

ANSWER:

Solution 31P

Here we have to explain what is the strongest interparticle force in each substance

Step 1

(a) H3PO4

In H3PO4, hydrogen bond (H-bond) has formed in between O-H. Thus the hydrogen bonding will be the strongest force between methanol molecules. Here dipole-dipole and dispersion forces also exist

Hence the strongest interparticle force is hydrogen bonding.
