Water is a great solvent. For example, it causes ionic compounds like sodium chloride (table salt) to dissociate. One of these r

easons that water does is because it is polar molecule. Why would water being a polar molecule allow it to break sodium chloride into ions of sodium and chlorine through dissociation?​

Answer:

If you stir table salt into water, the crystal lattice of NaCl will begin to dissociate into Na+ and Cl- ions. (Dissociation is just a name for the process in which a compound or molecule breaks apart to form ions.) Water molecules form hydration shells around the ions: positively charged Na+ ions are surrounded by partial negative charges from the oxygen ends of the water molecules, while negatively charged Cl- ions are surrounded by partial positive charges from the hydrogen ends. As the process continues, all of the ions in the table salt crystals are surrounded by hydration shells and dispersed in solution.  So since water is more positive on one end and more negative on the other end compounds like NaCl start to dissolve because one of them is attracted to the partial positive side of the water and the other is attracted to the partial negative side. Then this process continues until the water kind of coats each of the atoms.

Answer:

A polar molecule has both a partial positive and a partial negative. Since NaCl (sodium chloride) is made out of Na+ and Cl- ions, the positive and negative parts of the water will pull on these ions individually since positive attracts negative and negative attracts positive. This magnetic force causes the Na+ and the Cl- ions to be pulled apart.

As a science major, you are assigned to the "Atomic Dorm" at college. The first floor has one suite with one bedroom that has a
lidiya [134]

Explanation:

A.

The first student will be on the lower bunk on the first floor because 1. They want on the lowest available floor and 2. They want to be in a lower bunk if available.

B.

7 students are in the TOP bunks because 1. They want on the lowest available floor and 2. They want to be in a lower bunk if available. Therefore, all the rooms up till the third floor (Remember, third floor has 3 suites), so the first floor is filled - 1 person on the top bunk, 2 floor is filled- 4 persons and the third floor; the first suite is filled - 1 person and the second suite is a little partially filled- 1 person.

C.

Following the criteria 1, 2 and 3, the 21st student occupies the third suite on the third floor because all the floors (1 and 2) are occupied so the third suite on the third floor is still vacant.

D.

From the criteria there are therefore 10 persons at the TOP bunk. All the rooms up till the third floor are filled, so the first floor is filled - 1 person on the top bunk, second floor is filled (2 suites) - 4 persons and the third floor; the first suite and second suite is filled - 4 persons; the thirs suite has 6 persons present so 1 person is at the top bunk.

Damm [24]

Answer:

A. Carboxyl group

Explanation:

The carboxyl group is an organic functional group in chemistry that consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and singly linked to a hydroxyl group. Another way to think about it is as a carbonyl group (C=O) with an attached hydroxyl group (O-H).
