Salts get dissolved in water because it has partial positive and negative charges. So option (c) is correct.

<h3>Why does salt dissolves in water?</h3>

The water molecules pull the Na and Cl ions apart while breaking the ionic bond which held them together. After the salt ions are pulled apart, they get surrounded by water molecules. The salt dissolves to form a homogeneous solution.

  1. The slightly positive portion of sodium is attracted to the slightly negative portion of oxygen on the water molecule. At the same time, the slightly electronegative chlorine moieties of NaCl are attracted to the slightly electropositive hydrogen moieties of water.
  2. In either case, no true bond is formed, the stronger covalent bonds of water (also commonly held by hydrogen bonds between water molecules) win, NaCl gets pulled apart, resulting in dissociation of Na+ and Cl- ions with the Na+ and Cl- ions setting loosely in place between the intact H₂O molecules. NaCl is then ​dissolved​.

Salts are ionic and are expected to dissolve in water because water itself is polar. Therefore, ionic salts are expected to dissolve in polar solvents.

when methane reacts with oxygen, the products are carbon dioxide and water. How many grams of carbon dilxide are formed if 30 g
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2O

Moles of oxygen=3232=1

Moles of carbon dioxide=4422=0.5

Moles of water=1818=1

1 mole of methane reacts with 2 moles of oxygen to give 1 mole of CO2 and 2 moles of water so 0.5 mole of methane will be required which is equal to 0.5×16=8g.

Explanation:

8g

If the same amount of heat is added to 25.0 g of each of the metals, which are all at the same initial temperature, which metal
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The bismuth sample.

Explanation:

The specific heat c of a substance (might not be a metal) is the amount of heat required for heating a unit mass of this substance by unit temperature (e.g., \rm 1\; ^{\circ}C.) The formula for specific heat is:

\displaystyle c = \frac{Q}{m \cdot \Delta T},

where

  • Q is the amount of heat supplied.
  • m is the mass of the sample.
  • \Delta T is the increase in temperature.

In this question, the value of Q (amount of heat supplied to the metal) and m (mass of the metal sample) are the same for all four metals. To find \Delta T (change in temperature,) rearrange the equation:

\displaystyle c \cdot \Delta T = \frac{Q}{m},

\displaystyle \Delta T = \frac{Q}{c \cdot m}.

In other words, the change in temperature of the sample, \Delta T can be expressed as a fraction. Additionally, the specific heat of sample, c, is in the denominator of that fraction. Hence, the value of the fraction would be the largest for sample with the smallest specific heat.

Make sure that all the specific heat values are in the same unit. Find the one with the smallest specific heat: bismuth (\rm 0.123 \; J \cdot g\cdot \,^{\circ}C^{-1}.) That sample would have the greatest increase in temperature. Since all six samples started at the same temperature, the bismuth sample would also have the highest final temperature.
