Can you tell me the simple explanation what the mol in chemistry is?

By the way it's not mol, it's mole.
The mole is the unit of amount in chemistry. It provides a bridge between the atom and the macroscopic amounts of material that we work with in the laboratory. It allows the chemist to weigh out amounts of two substances, say iron and sulfur, such that equal numbers of atoms of iron and sulfur are obtained. A mole of a substance is defined as:<span>The mass of substance containing the same number of fundamental units as there are atoms in exactly 12.000 g of 12C.</span>

Assume you find four bottles in an empty laboratory, each containing a liquid. The labels that were on these bottles have fallen

Answer:

No, I can not identify the contents of each bottle using solubility and polarity (with H2O) information

Explanation:

While it is true that polar substances dissolve in water and nonpolar substances do not dissolve in water, the task here is to specifically identify the contents of each of the bottles.

Solubility in water can not tell us exactly what liquid is which substance. For instance, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene and cyclooctane are all insoluble in water. The fact that they do not dissolve in water does not tell us which liquid is which compound.

Even though acetic acid is miscible with water, it is not a conclusive prove that the liquid is acetic acid since other polar organic compounds are also miscible in water.

It is only by determining the boiling point of each substance that I can conclusively identify the contents of each bottle since boiling point is an intrinsic property of substances.

Suppose a platinum atom in the oxidation state formed a complex with two chloride anions and two ammonia molecules. Write the ch

Korolek [52]

Answer: Pt(Cl)2(NH3)2

Explanation:

In the formation of the complex, the oxidation number of platinum is plus two (+2) and two chloride ions cancel it out by their oxidation number of -1 each. Hence the complex has an overall charge of zero. It is thus neutral with no charge attached to its formula.
