Describe how water molecules interact with sodium chloride molecules in order for water to dissolve salt.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Phantasy [73]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Sodium chloride is an ionic salt that completely dissociates in water.

Explanation:

Sodium chloride in water dissociates according to the equation.

NaCl (aq) → Na + (aq) + Cl- (aq)

While water stays in balance according to the equation

2H2O (l) ⇄ H3O+(aq)  +  OH-(aq).

By dissociating the solute in the solvent, the water molecules pick up the sodium cations as well as the chloride anions to break the bonds in the salt crystals and thus produce the dissolution

If the ions are analyzed separately, we see that Na + interacts with water, so it would be producing sodium hydroxide, releasing protons.  

If the reaction goes in the sense of products, the Na + would increase the concentration of [H +], however being a neutral salt the pH does not vary from 7, so the reaction would never go in the sense of products, but only reagents. That's why as the sodium hydroxide is a strong base, it only promotes the formation of water and the cation.

Na+  +  H2O  ←  NaOH  +  H+

The same situation occurs with chloride, since no matter how much you want to form hydrochloric acid, it dissociates by promoting the formation of water plus the corresponding anion. Na + and Cl- act as too weak conjugate acid and base, so the reaction would never go in the direction of products

Cl-  +  H2O  ←  HCl  +  OH-

extremely hot.When a student went to open the car doo , he burned his finger. What two forms of energy were responsible for the
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

radiation and conduction

Explanation:

During a warm summer day, a car became extremely hot. When a student went to open the car door, he burned his fingers. What two forms of energy were responsible for the student burning his fingers?

Solution:

Heat is the transfer of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object. For heat transfer to occur, there have to be a difference in temperature between two objects.  

Heat can be transferred in three ways: by conduction, by convection, and by radiation.

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between bodies through direct contact. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of heat in a liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through thermal emission by electromagnetic waves.

During a warm summer day, The sun makes the car to become hot through energy transfer from the sun to the car. When the student touch the car, there is heat transfer as a result of conduction.

a) What substances are present in an aqueous buffer composed of HC2H3O2 and C2H3O2 - ?b) What happens when LiOH is added to a bu
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a) HC₂H₃O₂, C₂H₃O₂⁻, H₃O⁺, H₂O, OH⁻

b) HC₂H₃O₂ + LiOH ⇄ H₂O + LiC₂H₃O₂

c) C₂H₃O₂⁻ + HBr ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + Br⁻

Explanation:

a) In a HC₂H₃O₂/C₂H₃O₂⁻ buffer system, the following reactions take place:

HC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O ⇄ C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻

Thus, the species present are: HC₂H₃O₂, C₂H₃O₂⁻, H₃O⁺, H₂O, OH⁻.

b) When LiOH is added to the buffer system, it is partially neutralized according to the following equation.

HC₂H₃O₂ + LiOH ⇄ H₂O + LiC₂H₃O₂

c) When HBr is added to the buffer system, it is partially neutralized according to the following equation.

C₂H₃O₂⁻ + HBr ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + Br⁻
