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.
