Answer:
HBrO forms hydrogen bonds with each other and with water
Acetic acid forms hydrogen bonds with each other and with water
Formaldehyde can't form hydrogen bonds to each other but do form hydrogen bonds with water.
Explanation:
The hypohalous acids are polar molecules hence they form intermolecular hydrogen bonds. They also form hydrogen bonds with water. This enables it to dissolve in water.
Acetic acid can form dimmers with each other due to hydrogen bond formation. Also, acetic acid is capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water. This enables acetic acid to dissolve in water.
Aldehydes do not form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with each other because there is no hydrogen atom attached directly to oxygen in aldehydes. As such, they can only form hydrogen bonds with water. This accounts for the water solubility of low molecular weight aldehydes. Hence, formaldehyde can't form hydrogen bonds to each other but do form hydrogen bonds with water.
