When an ionic compound dissolves in water, the individual ions first leave the crystal lattice and then each ion becomes surroun

ded by a cluster of polar water molecules. What is the sign of the entropy change for each of these two steps in the dissolving process

The entropy of the process in which the  individual ions first leave the crystal lattice is positive while the entropy of the process whereby the each ion becomes surrounded by a cluster of polar water molecules is negative.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

The term entropy has to do with the degree of disorder in a system. The higher the entropy of the system, the more the disorderliness of the system.

Now, the entropy of the process in which the  individual ions first leave the crystal lattice is positive while the entropy of the process whereby the each ion becomes surrounded by a cluster of polar water molecules is negative.

Which option is a mixture?<br> A. potassium<br> B. sugar<br> C. water<br> D. salad
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

D.Salad

Explanation:

A mixture is a substance that combines two or more substance that are physically combined. A mixture can be easily seperated by a physical means . A mixture is the combination of various substances that are not chemically combined .Examples of mixtures are cake and salad . The  cake contains various substances like egg, flour and sugar. This mixture can be easily separated into it individual entities by a physical means .

Base on the option the only mixture among the option is salad . Salad is a a mixtures that combines substances like tomatoes , fruits and vegetable. The individual substances that makes up the salad can be easily separated.

Sugar is a compound . Water is a compound as it contains two elements and potassium is an element.

Farmers who raise cotton once used arsenic acid, H₃AsO₄, as a defoliant at harvest time. Arsenic acid is a polyprotic acid with
Stels [109]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

      H_{3}AsO_{4} \rightleftharpoons H_{2}AsO^{-}_{4} + H^{+}

Hence, the expression for K_{a} is as follows.

            K_{a} = \frac{[H_{2}SO^{-}_{4}][H^{+}]}{[H_{3}AsO_{4}]}

Let us assume that the concentration of both [H_{2}AsO^{-}_{4}] and [H^{+}] is x.

           2.5 \times 10^{-4} = \frac{x \times x}{0.5}

                          x = 0.01118034

This means that the concentration of [H^{+}] is 0.01118034.

Since, we know that the relation between pH and concentration of hydrogen ions is as follows.

              pH = -log [H^{+}]

                    = -log (0.01118034)

                    = 1.958

Thus, we can conclude that the pH of a 0.500 M solution of arsenic acid is 1.958.

A volume of a fixed gas is doubled and the temperature is doubled. What happens to the pressure of the gas?
Montano1993 [528]
We first assume that this gas is an ideal gas where it follows the ideal gas equation. The said equation is expressed as: PV = nRT. From this equation, we can predict the changes in the pressure, volume and temperature. If the volume and the temperature of this gas is doubled, then the pressure still stays the same.

An aqueous solution is listed as being 33.8% solute by mass with a density of 1.15 g/mL, the molar mass of the solute is 145.6 g
vodomira [7]

Answer:

A) 2.69 M

B) 0.059

Explanation:

A) We have:

33.8% solute by mass= 33.8 g solute/100 g solution

molarity = mol solute/ 1 L solution

molarity= \frac{33.8 g solute}{100 g solution} x \frac{1.15 g solution}{1 ml} x \frac{1 mol solute}{145.6 g solute} x \frac{1000 ml}{1 L}

molarity= 2.69 mol solute/L solution = 2.69 M

B) We know that there are 33.8 g of solute in 100 g of solution.

As the total solution is compounded by solute+solvent (in this case, solvent is water), the mass of water is the difference between the mass of the total solution and the mass of solute:

mass of water= 100 g - 33.8 g = 66.2 g

Now, we calculate the number of mol of both solute and water:

mol solute= 33.8 g solute x \frac{1 mol solute}{145.6 g} = 0.232 mol

mol H20= 66.2 g H₂O x \frac{1 mol H2O}{18 g}

Finally, the mol fraction of solute (Xsolute) is calculated as follows:

Xsolute=\frac{mol solute}{total mol}= \frac{mol solute}{mol solute + mol H2O}=\frac{0.232 mol}{0.232 mol + 3.677 mol}

Xsolute= 0.059
