Why is potassium chloride is soluble in water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lelu [443]4 years ago

It happens because of the bonding in the two compounds. Potassium chloride is an ionic compound, meaning it has polar bonds which, in water, causes it to be dissolved, as the stronger polar bonds in water pull them apart. Potassium has metallic bonding, so it can't be pulled apart by the water. Instead they react (explanation for this is long, so I advise looking it up if you need more in-depth information). Basically it's the difference in bonds that makes potassium chloride soluble. (Not in my own words,I found this)

This requires familiarity with the different theories (or concepts) of acids and bases.

On the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that produces an H⁺ ion in water such that the H⁺ concentration increases, and a base is a substance that produces an OH⁻ ion in water such that the OH⁻ concentration increases.

On the Brønsted–Lowry concept, an acid is a substance that donates a proton (which is basically an H⁺ ion) in a solvent, and a base is a substance that accepts a proton in a solvent.

On the Lewis concept, an acid is a substance that accepts an electron pair in a solvent, and a base is a substance that donates an electron pair in a solvent.

The concepts become progressively broader, i.e., the Arrhenius concept is the most restrictive and the Lewis concept is the least restrictive. As a corollary, an Arrhenius acid or base is also both a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base and a Lewis acid or base, respectively; a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base is not necessarily an Arrhenius acid or base, but an Arrhenius acid or base is also a Lewis acid or base, respectively. And finally, a Lewis acid or base may not necessarily be either an Arrhenius or a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base.

So, with the above concepts in mind, we can match the statements in column A with the type of acid or base in column B:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c } 1 & Bronsted Lowry acid \\  2 & Bronsted Lowry base \\   3 & Arrhenius acid \\ 4 & Arrhenius base \\ 5 & Lewis base \\ 6 & Lewis acid\end{tabular}\end{center}

Describe one way in which advances in space technology have improved our understanding of objects in space.
Anika [276]

Answer:

Technology helps us in many ways.

Explanation:

We can now research the world even more effectively and at a higher level of sophistication thanks to technological advancements. Telescopes, on the other hand, enable us to peer into the far corners of the universe and detect very large objects such as stars. Electron microscope enable us to see smaller objects such as cells and organisms.

What is the [ch3co2-]/[ch3co2h] ratio necessary to make a buffer solution with a ph of 4.34? ka = 1.8 × 10-5 for ch3co2h?
xeze [42]
According to Henderson–Hasselbalch Equation,

                                    pH  =  pKa + log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

As,
           pKa = -log Ka
           pKa = -log (1.8 × 10⁻⁵)
           pKa =  4.74
So,
                               pH  =  4.74 + log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

                                  4.34  =  4.74 + log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

                        4.34 - 4.74  = log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

                                 -0.40  =  log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

Taking Antilog on both sides,

               [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]  =  0.398

100 POINTS!!! WILL MARK BRAINIEST!!! What is the maximum number of grams of SO2 that can be fromed when 10.0 g of H2S reacts wit
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Mass = 12.82 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen = 8.5 g

Mass of H₂S = 10.0 g

Mass of SO₂ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation;

2H₂S + 3O₂ →  2SO₂ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of H₂S:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 10.0 g / 34 g/mol

Number of moles =0.3 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 8.5 g / 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.3 mol

Now we will compare the moles of SO2 with oxygen and hydrogen sulfide.

                         O₂             :         SO₂

                           3             :            2

                           0.3          :            2/3×0.3=0.2 mol

                         H₂S           :            SO₂

                           2              :            2

                         0.3             :           0.3

The number of moles of SO₂  produced by oxygen are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of SO₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.2 mol × 64.1 g/mol

Mass = 12.82 g
