Hydrogen bonding, water and

The HREEL spectrum of water adsorbed on Pt(100) in multilayer amounts resembles that of ice. In submonolayer quantities, three vqh peaks were observed at 2850 (353 meV), 3380 (419meV), and 3670 cm (455 meV) respectively, these were assigned to O-H stretch modes in metal-bonded hydroxyls, hydrogen-bonded water, and water devoid of intermolecnlar interactions. It is known that hydrogen bonding leads to a decrease in the O-H stretch freqnency (voh)- When the oxygen is coordinated to the metal, the decrease in vqh is more profonnd. In fact, the presence of the lowest freqnency vqh peak snggests that a fraction of...

Parameter r measures the number of segments of a molecule for the term v in the Flory-Huggins equation. Parameters q, and are surface areas that are interchangeable for all except strongly hydrogen-bonded water and alcohols. Parameters r, q, and are pure-component molecular structure parameters. The combinatorial is dependent only on pure-component parameters. The residual depends additionally on binary interaction parameters and x ,... 

Ans. Hexane or any other alkane or cycloalkane will not dissolve in water since the two compounds are very different in the level of their intermolecular forces. Hexane is nonpolar while water undergoes hydrogen bonding. There is no attraction between the hydrogen-bonding water and the nonpolar alkane and mixing does not take place. 

One feature that surprises many people is the high water content of precipitated silica. The actual silica content is only about 90%. The rest of the mass is made up of three types of water that combined as surface silanols, strongly hydrogen bonded water and loosely held water. The latter is about 5% by mass of the filler and can be removed by drying at 105 °C. The effects of this water are not often considered, but it can obviously be important, especially in reactions with surface modifiers, such as organo-silanes. Normal products also contain significant amounts of sodium and sulfate from the precipitation process.
