Can sodium sulphate, p-toluidine, and benzoic acid form hydrogen bond

In summary, sodium sulphate, p-toluidine, and benzoic acid all have the capability to form hydrogen bonds with water due to the presence of lone pairs on oxygen atoms. In addition, p-toluidine has an amine group that can act as both a hydrogen bond donor and acceptor, and both p-toluidine and benzoic acid have -OH groups that can function as hydrogen bond donors. This makes all three compounds suitable for hydrogen bonding with water.

What are the requirements for being a hydrogen bond acceptor or donor? Do these compounds fulfill those requirements?
 
  • #3


do they all have h-bonds with water because they all contain O?
 
  • #4


Yes, compounds with lone pairs on an oxygen atom are capable of being hydrogen bond acceptors and can hydrogen bond with water. The compounds contain other hdyrogen bond donors and acceptors as well. The amine group on p-toluidine can act as both a hydrogen bond donor and acceptor. Also, the phenolic -OH from p-toluidine and the carboxylic acid -OH of benzoic acid can act as a hydrogen bond donor in addition to being a hydrogen bond acceptor.
 

FAQ: Can sodium sulphate, p-toluidine, and benzoic acid form hydrogen bond

1. Can sodium sulphate form hydrogen bond?

Sodium sulphate does not have any hydrogen atoms, so it cannot form hydrogen bonds.

2. Can p-toluidine form hydrogen bond?

Yes, p-toluidine has a hydrogen atom attached to a nitrogen atom that can participate in hydrogen bonding.

3. Can benzoic acid form hydrogen bond?

Yes, benzoic acid has a hydrogen atom attached to an oxygen atom that can participate in hydrogen bonding.

4. Can sodium sulphate and p-toluidine form hydrogen bond with each other?

No, sodium sulphate and p-toluidine cannot form hydrogen bonds with each other because they do not have any compatible hydrogen atoms and electronegative atoms.

5. Can benzoic acid form hydrogen bond with p-toluidine?

Yes, benzoic acid and p-toluidine can form hydrogen bonds with each other because they both have compatible hydrogen atoms and electronegative atoms.
