I don't get how the intermolecular forces (Hydrogen bonding) relates to the heating curve of water.
I read some stuff on intermolecular force for Hydrogen bonding and it said that the force between water molecules raise the boiling point of water. So would this mean that the heating curve of water would be different? if it is could someone write how it is differentfrom other heating curves except that the boiling point is higher.
OR maybe does this cause a longer process for water to change from a solid to a liquid?
I don't know...
Could someone explain the first question of how they are related.
Thank you
This may not help much but I will try. The reason I say it may not help much is I don't put much stock into "heating curve" as such and the remainder of the question. The bottom line is that whether the heating curve is affected or not, the boiling point of water is higher than expected because of hydrogen bonding. That is because the extra forces acting on water molecules (extra forces being hydrogen bonding) is enough to cause the molecules to require more energy in order to break apart from each other in the liquid state and become vapor molecules. That is reflected in the higher boiling point. It stands to reason then that if hydrogen bonding increases the energy needed for vaporization that it also takes more energy to raise the temperature from say 25 degrees C to 50 degrees C or to 75 degrees C than we might expect. But I don't see that getting into a discussion of how much energy is needed for the heating curve is necessary as long as we know that the energy needed to raise the temperature is mass water x specific heat water x (Tfinal-Tinitial). And that quantifies any change in temperature in which we might be interested. We can calculate the energy required to raise the temperature of one substance by 1 degree versus another substance with hydrogen bonding by 1 degree but in the end we are simply quantifying the m*C*delta T and we knew that all along anyway. I hope this makes sense to you. Technically, I haven't answered your question but philosophically I tried to show it follows from what we already know about the heat laws.
The intermolecular forces in water, specifically hydrogen bonding, certainly play a role in the heating curve of water.
In a heating curve, which graphically represents the relationship between temperature and heat added, there are distinct stages as a substance is heated. For water, these stages are solid, liquid, and gas.
The first question you posed is how intermolecular forces relate to the heating curve of water. When water is initially heated, the intermolecular forces between water molecules in the solid state (ice) need to be overcome to transition into the liquid state. These forces are responsible for holding the molecules together in a solid lattice structure. The energy input required to break these intermolecular forces is called the heat of fusion. As heat is continuously added, the temperature of water increases until it reaches its boiling point.
The intermolecular forces, including hydrogen bonding, also determine the boiling point of water. Hydrogen bonding is a strong type of intermolecular force that occurs when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to an electronegative atom (like oxygen in water). This leads to a highly polar molecule, with the oxygen atom being partially negative and the hydrogen atoms being partially positive.
Hydrogen bonding in water is responsible for the remarkable properties of water, such as its high boiling point, melting point, and specific heat capacity. The presence of hydrogen bonds between water molecules makes it more difficult to break these intermolecular forces and convert water from a liquid to a gas. Therefore, the boiling point of water is higher compared to substances that do not form hydrogen bonds.
So, to summarize, the intermolecular forces in water, specifically hydrogen bonding, impact the heating curve of water by:
1. Requiring energy to break these forces during the transition from solid to liquid state (heat of fusion).
2. Raising the boiling point of water due to the strength of hydrogen bonding.
3. Requiring additional energy to overcome hydrogen bonding and transition from liquid to gas state (heat of vaporization).
In conclusion, the presence of hydrogen bonding in water influences both the melting and boiling points, as well as the overall heating curve of water.
