2. Diethyl ether cannot hydrogen bond on its own, but it can hydrogen bond with water. Draw diethyl ether and show an example of it hydrogen bonding with water. 3. Predict which would have the higher melting point, calcium chloride, \( \mathrm{CaCl}_{2} \) or acetyl chloride (pictured below). Explain your answer. 4. When sodium metal reacts with water, it does so by the following chemical reaction. \[ \mathrm{Na}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaOH}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \] Based on this information, propose a reaction involving \( n \)-butanol and sodium metal.
2) Hydrogen bonding is a covalent bonding between H and one of the most electronegative atoms ( N,O or F) . To form intermolecular H-bonding, there should be a bond between H and O in ether , but there's no bond between H and O here, hence diethyl et
