Question
Name the dominant intermolecular force for the following pure substance molecule (reacts only with other identical molecules) and whether generally soluble in water or gasoline.
answer choices:
Dipole-Dipole, Soluble in gasoline
London Forces, Soluble in gasoline
Hydrogen Bond, Soluble in gasoline
Ionic, Soluble in gasoline
Hydrogen Bond, Soluble in water
Ionic, Soluble in water
London Forces, Soluble in water
Dipole-Dipole, Soluble in water
Dipole-Dipole, Soluble in gasoline
London Forces, Soluble in gasoline
Hydrogen Bond, Soluble in gasoline
Ionic, Soluble in gasoline
Hydrogen Bond, Soluble in water
Ionic, Soluble in water
London Forces, Soluble in water
Dipole-Dipole, Soluble in water
Explanation / Answer
For benzoic acid, due to the presence of OH group, it can form hydrogen bonds and become soluble in water. The compound should be able to form hydrogen bonds to make it soluble in water.
It is also soluble in gasoline, as it can have london forces of interaction. Due to the presence of polar and non-polar groups available in benzoic acid, it can have temporary dipoles which leads to London forces between the molecules. Thus property makes it soluble in gasoline.
