Predict which of the solutions below will exert the highest Vapor pressure

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around predicting which solution—O2 in water, NH3 in water, or CH3OH in water—will have the highest vapor pressure. It highlights the presence of hydrogen bonding in CH3OH and NH3, while questioning whether O2 can also form hydrogen bonds with water. Participants clarify that NH3 does not exhibit hydrogen bonding in the same way as the others, leading to confusion about its interactions with water. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding hydrogen bonding to determine vapor pressure. Ultimately, the focus is on the role of intermolecular forces in influencing vapor pressure among these solutions.

Homework Statement



Hi I have a question. Predict which of the solutions below will exert the highest Vapor pressure

O2 in HOH
NH3 in HOH
and CH3OH in HOH

Homework Equations



I drew them out. So I know that CH3OH HOH exhibits h bonding. So does NH3 HOH
I was wondering about O2 and HOH. I think it does. Am I right? I don't care about the actual question right now or if I'm on the right parth with that I just want to know if O2 and HOH have h bonding. Thank you

The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
##NH_{3}## does not exhibit H- bonding per se.
##NH_{3}+H-OH -->NH_{4}^+ +OH^-##
 
Why can you explain? I don't understand your reason. NH3 to a lone pair on O2...seems like H bond to me.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
