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.

Chemical changes ________ involve the breaking and making of chemical bonds.
Blababa [14]
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be option A. Chemical changes ALWAYS <span>involve the breaking and making of chemical bonds. When there is chemical change, a new compound is being formed. If a new compound is not formed, then it is not considered as a chemical change. When a new compound is formed, therefore, there is the breaking and making of chemical bonds. Hope this helps.</span>

Why knowing the density of water important?? explain why please so I can understand it don’t copy for the internet I won’t under
Mkey [24]

Answer:

it allows us to determine whether objects will float or sink when placed in a liquid or even a gas.

Explanation:

For example, In an oil spill in the ocean, the oil rises to the top because it is less dense than water, creating an oil slick on the surface of the ocean. A Styrofoam cup is less dense than a ceramic cup, so the Styrofoam cup will float in water and the ceramic cup will sink.

White vinegar is a 5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid in water. If the density of white
Alex_Xolod [135]

The pH = 2.41

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid

the density of white  vinegar is 1.007 g/cm3

Required

pH

Solution

Molarity of solution :

\tt M=\dfrac{\%mass\times \rho\times 10}{MW~acetic~acid}\\\\M=\dfrac{5\times 1.007\times 10}{60}\\\\M=0.839

Ka for acetic acid = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

[H⁺] for weak acid :

\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{Ka.M}

Input the value :

\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-5}\times 0.839}\\\\(H^+]=0.00388=3.88\times 10^{-3}\\\\pH=3-log~3.88=2.41
