Answer #1

Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of substance that gets dissolved in a solvent. Like dissolved like for example non polar solute gets dissolved in non-polar solvents.

Hydrogen bonding increases the intermolecular forces of attraction and hence increased hydrogen bonding increases the solubility in a liquid. For example, Methyl alcohol which is organic in nature is miscible with water due to hydrogen bonding. For the same reason acetic acid is soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) has got only one carbon atom and steric hindrance of the methy group is low which permits water (solvent) to get attached to solute.

Water sticks to almost anything, especially itself. This is because of the network of hydrogen bonding that can interact with most compounds through adhesion and cohesion. On the other hand, mercury seems to only interact with itself. This is because it only has cohesion and almost no adhesion to the things around it.Propose a reason for why mercury has such strong cohesion and almost no adhesion. Please explain your answer in 200 -250 words .

We know that liquid form of water is denser than the solid form because of hydrogen bonds (if I'm not mistaken). Also HF has hydrogen bonds and I try to find the density of solid and liquid form of it but couldn't find the solid form density. Could you please explain the reason of this density difference if I'm wrong about thinking that H bonds cause this. Please also explain it for HF whether that density difference valid or not...
