C. sp3
Four identical molecules dissolve in water. Each molecule contains both a polar portion and nonpolar
portion of structure. The four molecules interact in such a way that the nonpolar sections align. This is

(Short Response) How does the strength of a hydrogen bond compare to the strength the London
Force? Also, how about the strength of a hydrogen bond compare to a dipole-dipole force? Briefly
comment on these differences.
Hydrogen bond strength is between 12-16 kcal; London force is <1 Kcal; dipole-dipole bond is 0.5-2.0
kcal. Hydrogen bonds are the strongest non-covalent force.
(Short Response) The weak acid HX has the following equilibrium reaction with 0.64M HX, 0.55M X-, and
0.55M H+. Calculate the Ka for this hypothetic compound. Show your work. HX = H+ + XKa= [X-][H+]/ HX; Ka = 0.55 x 0.55 / 0.64; Ka = .4727 (no units)
