q18.
A) NH4+ does not NH3
B) NH3 is the one that accepts the H+
C) Changes from 107 in NH3 to 109.5 in NH4+, since NH4+ has a tetrahedral arrangement
D) This is the correct answer. H+ doesn't have any electrons, the bond is dative

Look at the mechanism to understand this better.

q4.
Only C has Hydrogen bonding which is stronger than the induce/permanent dipole IMFs of the other options.

q37.
Here's the mechanism:

Clearly 1 and 3 are correct, so the answer is A. I'm not sure what 2 is referencing exactly but I guess it's the collision between the OH ion and the haloalkane.

q22.
Sketch the products when the hot Mno42-/H+ breaks the double bonds:
A) forms an acid and a ketone
B) forms two different acids
C) forms a dicarboxylic acid (two co2h gps attached to the same molecule)
D) forms two acids but they have the same formula

answer is B
how B forms two different acids but D doesnt?
thank you so much for your help

Imagine a line through the double bond in D, see how the previously double bonded carbon atoms are attached to the same group? both will form 2-methypropanoicacid. While in B they are attached to different groups.
