Two clear, sealed beakers are kept at the same temperature.
• Beaker A contains solid sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) stirred into liquid water until a homogeneous solution forms.
• Beaker B contains an equal mass of liquid carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) added to liquid water; after gentle stirring, two distinct liquid layers remain.
Assume no chemical reactions occur. Answer the following about the particulate-level interactions responsible for the different observations.
(a) Describe the dominant intermolecular forces that exist (i) between sucrose and surrounding water molecules in Beaker A and (ii) between CCl₄ and water molecules in Beaker B.
(b) Explain, in terms of relative strength and compatibility of intermolecular forces, why sucrose forms a single homogeneous phase with water whereas CCl₄ does not.
(c) Draw or describe a particulate-level representation for a small region inside Beaker A. Your diagram or description must:
• Show at least two intact sucrose molecules and several surrounding water molecules.
• Indicate the orientation of water molecules relative to one specific hydrogen-bond donor or acceptor site on sucrose.
• Represent hydrogen bonds with dashed lines.
