The density of water is 1.00 g/ml at 4°c. how many water molecules are present in 2.36 ml of water at this temperature?

Mass of 1 ml of water 1 g as density of water 1.00 g/ml at 4° C. So, mass of 2.36 ml of water g= 0.423 g.

Molecular mass of water is 18 g which indicates 18 g water contains 6.023 X number of water molecules. So, 0.423 g of water contains = 0.141 X number of water molecules= 1.41 X number of water molecules.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
