Acetone Hydrogen Bonding With Water

Hydrogen bond between acetone and water
Acetone is an organic compound, water is the basic liquid of life. When the two meet, the effect of hydrogen bonding occurs.

The carbonyl oxygen of acetone has lone pairs of electrons, and it is a donor of sex like electrons. The hydrogen of water is connected to the oxygen with strong electronegativity, and is partially positively charged. When acetone is mixed with water, the carbonyl oxygen of acetone and the hydrogen of water attract due to electrostatic attraction, thus forming a hydrogen bond.

The formation of this hydrogen bond is not the ratio of strong bonds, but the properties of the two have a huge impact. Looking at its compatibility, with the help of hydrogen bonds, acetone can be miscible with water, and the two molecules are similar and mixed together. As for its physical properties, the boiling point is higher than when there is no such effect due to the hydrogen bond. To make the molecule escape from the liquid phase, the force of this hydrogen bond must be broken, so more energy is required.

Furthermore, in the context of chemical reactions, this hydrogen bond also has its usefulness. Or affect the rate of the reaction, or change the state of chemical equilibrium. Because it changes the activity of the reactants, the reaction route and the ratio of the product may be different.

The hydrogen bond between acetone and water, although invisible, has a profound impact on various phenomena in chemistry, and is an important end of chemical research.
