32.

To be a liquid at room temperature, the compound must have a boiling point that is greater than room

temperature.

pentane or 2-methylbutane

34.

a.

Each water molecule has two hydrogens that can form hydrogen bonds, whereas each alcohol mole-

cule has only one hydrogen that can form a hydrogen bond. Therefore, there are more hydrogen bonds

between water molecules than between alcohol molecules.

b.

Each water molecule has two hydrogens that can form hydrogen bonds and two lone pairs that can

accept hydrogen bonds.

Ammonia has three hydrogens that can form hydrogen bonds but only one lone pair that can accept

hydrogen bonds.

Therefore, only one hydrogen of an ammonia molecule can engage in hydrogen bonding, so it will

have a lower boiling point than water.

c.

Each water molecule has two hydrogens that can form hydrogen bonds and two lone pairs that can

accept hydrogen bonds.

HF has three lone pairs that can accept hydrogen bonds but only one hydrogen that can form a

hydrogen bond.

Therefore, only one lone pair of a HF molecule can engage in hydrogen bonding, so it will have a

lower boiling point than water.

d.

HF and ammonia can each form only one hydrogen bond, but HF has a higher boiling point because

the hydrogen bond formed by HF is stronger since fluorine is more electronegative than nitrogen.
