The answer is highly soluble

<h3>How does sodium hydroxide dissolve in water?</h3>

When hydroxide (NaOH) dissolved in water, it divides into positively and negatively charged sodium ions (cations) and hydroxide ions (anions). These ions move freely and independently in water, while cations prefer to be surrounded more closely by anions and vice versa.

Although sodium hydroxide is more soluble in hot than in cold water, the process of dissolving sodium hydroxide in water is exothermic.

The unknown compound's insolubility in water might be attributed to its big hydrocarbon group. Because it is dissolved in 5% Naoh, its substituent may be acidic because the interaction with NaOH produces an anion that is soluble in aqueous solution.

What is the term for a liquid composed of polar molecules?

IrinaVladis [17]

A dissolving liquid composed of polar molecules is a polar solvent.

The distinction of polar and non-polar liquids is important because the like dissolves like rule. This rule states that the solubility is greater when the polarity of the liquid is similar to the polarity of the solute.

So, to dissolve polar compounds (e.g. ionic compounds) you should use polar solvents (e.g. water).

If 11.9 kJ are used to heat a sample of water the temperature increases from 20.0°C to

Kipish [7]

Answer:

$m=4.51g$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the energy involved during a heating process is shown below:

$Q=mCp\Delta T$

Whereas the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g°C), we can compute the heated mass of water by the addition of 11.9 kJ (11900 J) of heat as shown below:

$m=\frac{Q}{Cp\Delta T}$

Thus, by plugging in, we obtain:

$m=\frac{11900J}{4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}(650\°C-20.0\°C)}\\\\m=4.51g$

Best regards!
