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

Chemistry

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 combined 0.440 L of an unknown calcium solution with an excess of ammonium chromate. This resulted in the precipitatio
Rina8888 [55]

The concentration of the original calcium ions is 0.005 M

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The term concentration has to do with the amount of substance in solution. We know that the concentration can be measured in a lot of units such as mole/litre, grams per litre, percentage and so on.

As such we have the equation;

Ca^2+(aq) + (NH4)2CrO4(aq) --------> CaCrO4(s) + 2NH4^+(aq)

Number of moles of the precipitate = 346.7 * 10^-3 g/156 g/mol

= 0.0022 moles

Now;

1 mole of Ca^2+ produces 1 mole of CaCrO4 hence 0.0022 moles of CaCrO4 was produced by  0.0022 moles of CaCrO4.

Given that the volume of the solution is  0.440 L, the concentration of the solution is;   0.0022 moles/0.440 L

= 0.005 M

Natali [406]

The mass of dissolved sodium carbonate is 109 g of Na₂CO₃.

<h3>What is a solution ?</h3>

A solution consists of two elements , a solute and a solvent .

A solute is dissolved into solvent to make a solution.

The concentration of a solution is measure by Molarity , Molality , mass% etc.

It is given in the question that

sodium carbonate ( Na₂CO₃) is sometimes used as a water-softening agent

a worker prepares a 0.724 m solution of  Na₂CO₃ and water.

the volume of the solution is 1.421 liters.

Mass of dissolved sodium carbonate is grams =?

Concentration = 0.724 M

Volume = 1.421 liters

Molecular mass of  Na₂CO₃  = 106 g

The mass of the solute needs to be determined

Molarity = moles / volume\

moles = Molarity x volume

Substituting the values

moles = 0.724 x 1.421

moles = 1.029

1 mol of Na₂CO₃ means  106 gm of  Na₂CO₃

Then 1.029 moles will mean 1.029 * 106

109.07 gm

Therefore , the mass of dissolved sodium carbonate is 109 grams.
