JEE Advanced · Chemistry · 4. Chemical Bonding
Hydrogen bonding plays a central role in the following phenomena:
- A Ice floats in water
- B Higher Lewis basicity of primary amines than tertiary amines in aqueous solutions Higher Lewis basicity of primary amines than tertiary amines in aqueous solutions
- C Formic acid is more acidic than acetic acid
- D Dimerisation of acetic acid in benzene
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Ice floats in water
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A] Ice has cage-like structure in which each water molecule is surrounded by four other water molecules tetrahedral through hydrogen boding, due to this density of ice is less than water and it floats in water.
B]

The cation (I) more stabilized through hydrogen boding than cation II . So, is better base than in aqueous solution.
C] HCOOH is stronger acid than due to inductive effect and not due to hydrogen bonding.
D] Acetic acid dimerizes in benzene through intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

- Paragraph:
The concentration of potassium ions inside a biological cell is at least twenty times higher than the outside. The resulting potential difference across the cell is important in several processes such as transmission of nerve impulses and maintaining the ion balance. A simple model for such a concentration cell involving a metal \(\mathrm{M}\) is :
\(
M(s) \mid M^{+}(\alpha q ; 0.05 \text { molar }) \| M^{+}(a q ; 1 \text { molar })\) \(\mid M(s)
