Which of the following statements about water is not true? It can form two hydrogen bonds per water molecule. It has a high dielectric constant. It dissolves salts and polar substances. In the liquid state it is only 15% less hydrogen bonded than in the solid state at 0°C. It packs in a hexagonal (honeycomb) shaped lattice when the temperature falls below 0°C

It can form two hydrogen bonds per water molecule.

Which of the following statements about water is incorrect? It is a small, polar molecule with a low dielectric constant. It has a marked dipole moment. Acid-base reactions are very fast due to the mobility of hydronium ions in water which is a consequence of the ability of individual protons to "jump" from one water molecule to another. It is largely hydrogen bonded, although any single H-bond exists only for a very short period of time (~10-12 s ). It has a bent geometry with each O-H bond approximately 0.958 Å long and with an O-H bond energy of approximately 460 kJ/mol.

It is a small, polar molecule with a low dielectric constant.

Which of the following is the best explanation for the hydrophobic effect?

It is an entropic effect, caused by the desire of water molecules to increase their entropy by excluding hydrophobic groups, which they must otherwise surround with highly ordered structures.

What is the approximate pKa of a weak acid HA if a solution 0.1 M HA and 0.3 M A- has a pH of 6.5?

Ph=Pk+Log[A-]/[HA] Pk=6.5-log 0.3/0.1 Pk = 6.0

Which of the following statements about hydrophobic interactions is not true? They are entropy driven. They are the driving force for micelle formation. When nonpolar molecules come in contact with water, a highly-ordered shell of water molecules forms at the interface between the nonpolar molecules and water. A hydrophobic interaction is caused by the desire of water molecules to regain the entropy lost during this organization around the nonpolar substance by excluding the substance from interaction with water molecules. They are the main driving force for protein folding into three dimensional structures. They are caused by hydrophobic molecules interacting strongly with each other.

They are caused by hydrophobic molecules interacting strongly with each other.

Which of the following statements about water is not true? Water is a key player in the energetics of hydrophobic interactions. The electron-rich oxygen atom of one water molecule can interact with the electron-poor proton on another water molecule to form a hydrogen bond. Liquid water is only 15% less hydrogen bonded than ice. Water is a nonpolar molecule that with a bent molecular geometry. Water can form highly ordered, cage-like, structures around nonpolar molecules.

Water is a nonpolar molecule that with a bent molecular geometry.

The pH of coffee is 5.6. The pH of grapefruit juice is 2.6. This means that the proton concentration in coffee is

a thousand times lower than in grapefruit juice

Physical properties that depend on the amounts of various species, rather than the identities of those species, are called

colligative properties

The pH at the midpoint in the titration of an acid with a base is

equal to the pK of the corresponding acid.

In a hydrogen bond between a water molecule and another biomolecule

the hydrogen bond will typically form between a hydrogen atom of the water molecule and either a nitrogen, sulfur, or oxygen atom of the other molecule.

The capacity of a buffer to resist changes in pH upon addition of protons or hydroxide ions depends on

the pKa of the weak acid in the buffer. the pH of the buffer. the total concentration of the weak acid and its conjugate base in the buffer.

Molecules such as methanol and ethanol are very soluble in water because

they contain O─H groups that can form multiple H-bonds with water.

The boiling point of water is 264°C higher than the boiling point of methane because

water molecules are connected to each other by H-bonds.

Fatty acids such as palmitate and oleate are usually characterized as

amphiphilic

Hydrogen bonds within liquid water

are dipole-dipole attractions.
