When the ionic compound ki is dissolved in water what attraction pulls i– ions into solution?
2 answers:
Answer:
Ion-dipole attraction force pulls into solution
Explanation:
is an anion and water molecule is dipolar due to polarization of bonded electron towards more electronegative oxygen atom.
Hence, when KI is added in water, water molecule attracts ions through its negatively charged polarized end and
through its positively charged polarized end.
At equilibrium, this ion-dipole attraction force overcome the ionic interaction present between and
.
Hence KI become soluble into water.

Answer:
- Question 19: the three are molecular compounds.
- Question 20: CuSO₄.5H₂O
Explanation:
<em>Question 19.</em>
- C₂H₄
- HF
- H₂O₂
All of them are the combination of two kinds of different atoms in fixed proportions.
- C₂H₄: two carbon atoms per four hydrogen atoms
- HF: one hydrogen atom per one fluorine atom
- H₂O₂: two hydrogen atoms per two oxygent atoms
Thus, they all meet the definition of compund: a pure substance formed by two or more different elements with a definite composition.
Molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds and ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds.
Two non-metal elements, like H-F, C - C, C - H, H-O, H - H, and O - O will share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their valence shell. Thus, the three compounds are molecular and not ionic.
<em>Question 20. </em>Formula of copper(II) sulfate hydrate with 36.0% water.
Copper(II) sulfate is CuSO₄. Its molar mass is 159.609g/mol
Water is H₂O. Its molar mass is 18.015g/mol
Calling x the number of water molecules in the hydrate, the percentage of water is:
From which we can solve for x:
Thus, there are 5 molecules of water per each unit of CuSO₄, and the formula is:
- CuSO₄.5H₂O
