In solid ice hydrogen bonding give rise to an open cage like structure in with each water molecule is linked tetrahedrally to four molecules. Thus molecules no longer remain closely packed and mass per unit volume i.e. density decreases. That is why ice floats on water.
why 4?
2 h's and a O will hydrogen bond with other 3 molecules,right?

june 2011 paper 41 question 8 (b) part..
it is related to two way chromatography..
can anyone pleaaaase help? :cry:
take it this way: Solvent 1 is responsible for separating the 'dots' height-wise. And Solvent 2, length-wise.
for b(i) you can see the 'dot' marked with red circle is the answer. this 'dot' couldn't go up height-wise, because it is insoluble in solvent 1. but it moved towards right due to its solubility in solvent 2.
for b(ii) you would notice two dots are at the same height. This suggests that although they gained height due to their solubility in solvent 1, they got separated only due to solvent 2, as one of the 'dots' moved further to the right than the other.
Hence, these two dots should be marked as A and B.
Hope that helps. :)

Temperature increase (due to heat of neutralization) should still be 6 degree celsius.

Expt 1: 50cm3 of acid + 50 cm3 of alkali (0.05 mol of water formed, releasing heat)
Expt 2: 100cm3 of acid + 100 cm3 of alkali (0.1 mol of water formed, releasing heat)

Basically you are generating 2 twice the amount of heat in expt 2, but its used to heat up twice the volume of solution. So temperature rise is the same in both experiments.

More importantly in this question, mixing any equal volumes of acid and alkali would give you a 6 degree celsius rise.
