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.

3Al + 3NH4ClO4 → Al2O3 + AlCl3 + 3NO + 6H2O<br> How many moles of AlCl3 are produced?
zhuklara [117]

Answer: 1 mol of AlCl_3 will be produced from this reaction.

Explanation: Reaction follows,

3Al+3NH_4ClO_4\rightarrow Al_2O_3+AlCl_3+3NO+6H_2Oc

As seen from the balanced chemical equation above, we get

For every 3 moles of Aluminium and 3 moles of NH_4ClO_4, 1 mole of Al_2O_3 is formed.

For every 3 moles of Aluminium and 3 moles of NH_4ClO_4, 1 mole of AlCl_3 is formed.

For every 3 moles of Aluminium and 3 moles of NH_4ClO_4, 3 moles of NO is formed.

For every 3 moles of Aluminium and 3 moles of NH_4ClO_4, 6 moles of H_2O is formed.

How long will it take for a 750 mg sample of radium with a half life of 15 days to decay to exactly 68mg?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

52 da  

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a question asks you, "How long to reach a certain concentration?" or something similar, you must use the appropriate integrated rate law expression.

The i<em>ntegrated rate law for a first-order reaction </em>is  

ln([A₀]/[A] ) = kt

Data:

[A]₀ = 750 mg

 [A] =    68 mg

t_ ½ =   15 da

Step 1. Calculate the value of the rate constant.

 t_½ = ln2/k     Multiply each side by k

kt_½ = ln2         Divide each side by t_½

      k = ln2/t_½

         = ln2/15

         = 0.0462 da⁻¹

Step 2. Calculate the time

ln(750/68) = 0.0462t

         ln11.0 = 0.0462t

            2.40 = 0.0462t     Divide each side by 0.0462

                   t = 52 da
