Answer:

Grease is insoluble in water but soluble in kerosene

Explanation:

The molecules in grease are non polar molecules and so can not react with water which is polar to generate enough solvation energy. On the other hand kerosine is non polar so reacts with grease to generate enough solvation energy to dissolve it.

Water is a great solvent. For example, it causes ionic compounds like sodium chloride (table salt) to dissociate. One of these r
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

A polar molecule has both a partial positive and a partial negative. Since NaCl (sodium chloride) is made out of Na+ and Cl- ions, the positive and negative parts of the water will pull on these ions individually since positive attracts negative and negative attracts positive. This magnetic force causes the Na+ and the Cl- ions to be pulled apart.

If a sample of magnesium with a mass of 35.0 grams reacts with 35.0 grams of oxygen how much magnesium oxide will be produced?​
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

58.0 g of MgO

Explanation:

in a perfect world, 70 g, however we don't live in a perfect world

The equation of reaction

2Mg + O₂ --> 2MgO

first find which element is limiting:

35 g x 1 mol/24.3 g of Mg x 2 mol of MgO/ 2 mole of Mg = 1.44 moles of MgO

35 g x 1 mol/32g of Mg x 2 mol of MgO/ 1 mole of O₂ = 2.1875 moles of MgO

This means Mg is the limiting factor, so you will be using this moles to find grams of MgO

1.44 mols of MgO x 40.3 g of MgO/ 1 mol = 58.0 g of MgO
