How many hydrogen bonds can CH2O make to water

VladimirAG [237]

Hydrogen bonds are not like covalent bonds. They are nowhere near as strong and you can't think of them in terms of a definite number like a valence. Polar molecules interact with each other and hydrogen bonds are an example of this where the interaction is especially strong. In your example you could represent it like this:

H2C=O---------H-OH 

But you should remember that the H2O molecule will be exchanging constantly with others in the solvation shell of the formaldehyde molecule and these in turn will be exchanging with other H2O molecules in the bulk solution. 

Formaldehyde in aqueous solution is in equilibrium with its hydrate. 

H2C=O + H2O <-----------------> H2C(OH)2

Which of the following statements correctly relates mutations and survival rates of plants?

Tasya [4]

Answer is: Mutations sometimes improve the chances of survival for a plant.
Mutations are very important because they change variability in populations and in that way enable evolutionary change.
There are three types of mutations:
1) good or advantageous mutations - improve the chances of survival for a plant.
2) bad or deleterious - decrease the chances of survival for a plant.
3) neutral - not affect he chances of survival for a plant.

A 12.0 g sample of a metal is heated to 90.0 ◦C. It is then dropped into 25.0 g of water. The temperature of the water rises fro

Liula [17]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.335 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the metal = 12.0 grams

Initial temperature of the metal = 90.0 °C

Mass of the water = 25.0 grams

Initial temperature of water = 22.5 °C
