2. At 1 atm and 298 k, methanol is a liquid whereas propane is a gas. Explain.
3. Indicate the hybridization of the carbon atom in each of the following:
i) Methanol
ii) Methanoic (formic) acid
4. Draw the complete lewis electron-dot diagram for a molecule of propanoic acid, HC3H5O2.
5. Explain the following observations about the two carbon-oxygen bonds in the methanoate (formate) anion, HCO2-.
i) The two carbon-oxygen bonds in the methanoate (formate) anion, HCO2-, have the same length.
ii)The length of the carbon-oxygen bonds in the methanoate (formate) anion, HCO2-, is the intermediate between the length of the carbon-oxygen bond in methanol and the length of the carbon-oxygen bond in methanal.
