Why is water sometimes called the ""universal solvent?"".

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Water is called the universal solvent because more substances dissolve in water than in any other chemical. This has to do with the polarity of each water molecule. The hydrogen side of each water (H2O) molecule carries a slight positive electric charge, while the oxygen side carries a slight negative electric charge.

Answer:

Reaction 1 is balanced but 2 is not balanced , the balance equation are :

1. CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) + CH_{3}COONa(aq)

2.CaCl_{2}(aq) + 2NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_{3}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + 2NaCl(aq) + H_{2}O(aq)

Explanation:

Balanced Equations : These are the equation which follows the law of conservation of mass .

The total number of atoms present in reactant is equal to total number of atoms present in product.

1. CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) + CH_{3}COONa(aq)

This is acid - base type reaction where

CH_{3}COOH(aq) act as Acid

NaHCO_{3}(aq) act as weak base

Reactant :CH_{3}COOH(aq) ,NaHCO_{3}

Number of atoms of :

C = 2 (CH_{3}COOH(aq)) + 1 (NaHCO_{3})

   = 2 + 1

   = 3

H  = 4(CH_{3}COOH(aq)) + 1 (NaHCO_{3})

     = 4 + 1

       5

O = 2(CH_{3}COOH(aq)) + 3 (NaHCO_{3})

    = 5

Na = 1 (NaHCO_{3})

     = 1

Product :  CO_{2}(g),H_{2}O(l) , CH_{3}COONa(aq)

Number of atoms :

C = 1(CO_{2}(g)) + 2(CH_{3}COONa(aq))

   = 1 + 2

   = 3

H = 2(H_{2}O(l)) + 3(CH_{3}COONa(aq))

   = 2 + 3

   = 5

O = 1(H_{2}O(l)) + 2(CH_{3}COONa(aq))

        +2(CO_{2}(g)

    = 1 + 2 + 2

    = 5

Na = 1(CH_{3}COONa(aq)

     = 1

Number of Na =1 , C = 3 , H= 5 and O =5 in both reactant and product , so it is a balanced reaction

2.CaCl_{2}(aq) + 2NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_{3}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + 2NaCl(aq) + CO_{2}(g)

This is double displacement reaction .

Check the balancing in both reactant and products should be :

Na = 2

H = 2

Ca = 1

C = 2

O = 6

Cl = 2

xxTIMURxx [149]
Water’s chemical formula is H2O
One atom of oxygen bonded to two attached atoms of hydrogen.
The hydrogen atoms are to one side of the oxygen atom, resulting in a water molecule having a positive charge on the side where the hydrogens reside and a negative charge on the other side, where the oxygen atom resides. This separation
of charge on opposite ends of the molecule is called polarity

I hope this right and can help you!

What is the theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

  • 602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The<em> yield</em> is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of <em>fluorene</em> is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The <em>oxidation</em>, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

        2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

<u>1. Mole ratio</u>

          2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O

<u />

<u>2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles</u>

  • 175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • \text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol

<u>3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction</u>

a) <u>For CO₂</u>

i) number of moles

         2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x

x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) <u>For H₂O</u>

i) number of moles

0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg
