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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago

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.

A chemist dissolves 240mg of pure barium hydroxide in enough water to make up of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (Th
goblinko [34]

Answer:

pH = 12.22

Explanation:

<em>... To make up 170mL of solution... The temperature is 25°C...</em>

<em />

The dissolution of Barium Hydroxide, Ba(OH)₂ occurs as follows:

Ba(OH)₂ ⇄ Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

<em>Where 1 mole of barium hydroxide produce 2 moles of hydroxide ion.</em>

<em />

To solve this question we need to convert mass of the hydroxide to moles with its molar mass. Twice these moles are moles of hydroxide ion (Based on the chemical equation). With moles of OH⁻ and the volume we can find [OH⁻] and [H⁺] using Kw. As pH = -log[H⁺], we can solve this problem:

<em>Moles Ba(OH)₂ molar mass: 171.34g/mol</em>

0.240g * (1mol / 171.34g) = 1.4x10⁻³ moles * 2 =

2.80x10⁻³ moles of OH⁻

<em>Molarity [OH⁻] and [H⁺]</em>

2.80x10⁻³ moles of OH⁻ / 0.170L = 0.01648M

As Kw at 25°C is 1x10⁻¹⁴:

Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H⁺]

[H⁺] = Kw / [OH⁻] = 1x10⁻¹⁴/0.01648M = 6.068x10⁻¹³M

<em>pH:</em>

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log [6.068x10⁻¹³M]

<h3>pH = 12.22</h3>

What alkene reacts the fastest with HBr?
Rasek [7]
The first step in the reaction is the double bond of the Alkene going after the H of HBr. This protonates the Alkene via Markovnikov's rule, and forms a carbocation. The stability of this carbocation dictates the rate of the reaction. 

<span>So to solve your problem, protonate all your Alkenes following Markovnikov's rule, and then compare the relative stability of your resulting carbocations. Tertiary is more stable than secondary, so an Alkene that produces a tertiary carbocation reacts faster than an Alkene that produces a secondary carbocation.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!
