If a solution process is exothermic, how does the energy required for dissolving the solute compare with the energy released?

1 answer:

8 0

The correct answer would be the third option. If a solution process is exothermic, the energy required is less than the energy released. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy to the surroundings. The energy released should be more than what is absorbed in order to maintain the reaction.

Explain why you get a basic solution when you dissolve NaF in water.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

That's because in water NaF will dissolve to produce Na+,the conjugate base of a strong acid which will not react with water.however F- will behave like a bronsted base, and accept a proton from water.this is called hydrolysis reaction, because a molecule of water is broken up.

a conjugate base is what I leftover after an acid loses a hydrogen ion.

I hope this helps

some constellations, such ad Ursa Minor, are visible in the sky year-round; other contellations appear for only part of the year

While most constellations are only visible to us in different seasons, some are always there 24/7/365 because they are positioned close to the Polar Axis, or the Polaris.

A gas containing 80% CH4 and 20% He is sent through a quart/ diffusion tube (see Figure P8.8) to recover the helium, Twenty perc

elena55 [62]

For a gas containing 80% CH4 and 20% He is sent through a quart diffusion tube, the composition is mathematically given as

%He=12.5%

%CH4=87.5%

<h3>What is the composition of the waste gas if 100 kg moles of gas are processed per minute?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Material balance is mathematically given as

F=R+W

Therefore

100=0.20*1000+W

W=80kmol/min

In conclusion, waste gas compose

2.0/100*100=50/100*20+%*80

Hence

%He=12.5%

%CH4=87.5%
