Answer:
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, for this neutralization reaction, it is possible to realize that one the neutralization products is water (pH=7) and the other one is the salt coming up from the cation of the NaOH and the anion of the HI:
Moreover, since the solubility of NaI is large in water, we infer it remains aqueous whereas the water is maintained as liquid:
Which is also balanced as the number of atoms of all the elements is the same at both sides.
Best regards!
Answer:-
Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.
When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.
The water molecules now surround these ions.
The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.
So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.
Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.
