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.

Benzene would react_____________.
Vlada [557]

Answer: Benzene is less reactive than methylbenzoate and more reactive than Nitrobenzene

Explanation:

This is because the methyl group on the benzene ring is an electron donating group leading to the activation of the ring and subsequently leading to more canonical resonance structure at the intermediate stage of the reaction enhancing the faster reactivity

However for the Nitrobenzene the nitro group is an electron withdrawing group leading to a slower activation and less resonance canonical structure at the reaction intermediate leading to a slower reaction than the reaction of benzene without the nitro group

elixir [45]

Answer:

If each element can be identified by its spectrum then the composition of an unknown star can be determined

Explanation:

The chemical nature of the elements is that they absorb specific wavelength of light depending on their atom. By spectral analysis of the spectrum of emitted light by a body, the body's composition can therefore be determined. As such in order to determine the composition of distant bodies such as planets, stars and other celestial bodies scientists usually make use of spectroscopy.
