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.

Choose the reaction that represents the combustion of C6H12O2.
Leona [35]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  letter D

Explanation:

In a combustion reaction, the reactants are always a molecule with Carbon that reacts with oxygen and the products are carbon dioxide and water.

According to the explanation, the only possible solution is:

a) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g)

b) Mg(s) + C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ MgC₆H₁₂O₂(aq)

c) 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₂(l)

d) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) + 8 O₂(g) ⇒ 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

e) None of the above represent the combustion of C₆H₁₂O₂.

How many moles (of molecules or formula units) are in each sample?
Alexus [3.1K]

The number of moles in each sample will be 0.391 moles, 30.7 moles, 0.456 moles, and 1350 moles

<h3>What is the number of moles?</h3>

The number of moles of a substance is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the molar mass.

In other words; mole = mass/molar mass.

Thus:

  • moles of 18.0 g NO_2 = 18.0/46

                                   = 0.391 moles

  • moles of 1.35 kg CO_2 = 1350/44

                                         = 30.7 moles

  • moles of 46.1 g KNO_3 = 46.1/101.1

                                          = 0.456 moles

  • moles of 191.8 kg Na_2SO_4 = 191800/142

                                                 = 1350 moles

199.5 grams unrefined dark crystalline sugar to cups
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

0.9975 cup  

Step-by-step explanation:

"Unrefined dark crystalline sugar" is what non-chemists call "brown sugar."

200.0 g brown sugar = 1 cup

 199.5 g brown sugar = 199.5× 1/200 .0

 199.5 g brown sugar = 0.9975 cup

A standard measuring cup is not capable of this precision and, furthermore, the mass of brown sugar you can get into a cup depends on how tightly you pack it.

Your Mole Day cake will be fine if you use 1 cup of brown sugar as usual.

What are the trends and exceptions to the trends in electron affinity
slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the energy released in adding an electron to a neutral atom in the gas phase.

It is a measure of the readiness of an atom to gain an electron. This property is very peculiar to non-metals. The higher the value, the greater the tendency to accept electrons.

Across a period electron affinity increases due to the increasing nuclear charge not being compensated for.

Down a group, electron affinity decreases  due to the low nuclear charge and the large atomic radii.

The exception to this rule is the stability of half-filled sublevels. For example, nitrogen has a configuration of 2,5 with sublevel notation of 1s²2s²2p³.

The p-sublevel has a degeneracy of three and the three electrons goes in singly. This makes the configuration stable.

We expect such an atom to have a higher electron affinity but its configuration is stable and carbon would have a higher affinity than it across the same period.

Half filled sublevels are exception to the trend of electron affinity.
