Why do we crush solids before putting them into a solvent?

The answer is to increase the surface area of the solute.
You see it dissolves faster because there is a lot more water touching it when it is has a higher surface area.This can be achieved by crushing

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we crush a solute then there will be increase in number of solute particles. This means that there is increase in surface area of solute particles.

Hence, more is the surface area of solute particles more will be the collisions between solute and solvent particles. Therefore, more will be rate of reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that we crush solids before putting them into a solvent to increase the surface area of the solute.

Hello, a little help please guys:( Explain how the series of experiments performed by Crookes, Thomson, Rutherford, and Chadwick
White raven [17]
<span>I did some investigation and summarized the process and made a clearer explanation so those who are confused can imagine the process better :) A scientific theory attempts to explain and describe why things happen. Hypotheses are formed and experiments are done to validate or toss the hypothesis based on the data collected. The Atomic Theory has gone through lots of refining as a scientific theory. For instance, William Crookes conduced an experiment with cathode ray tubes powered by electricity that glowed when powered. Crookes placed an object in between the positive and negative electrode and concluded that the shadow made on the positive side was small particles of matter traveling from the negative side. But more evidence was needed so, later on, J.J. Thomson continued Crookes experiment. He tested what would happen if a negative or positive charged rod was placed along the ray tubes and if it would differ if a different element was used as the negative electrode. Thomson found out that the beam had negatively charged particles and that even if the negative electrode is substituted, the glow is still present, meaning that all elements also had the small negative particles. These particles(now known as electrons) were smaller than the atom and were added to the model of the atom dispersed throughout the neutrally charged atom inside its positive sphere. Now came along Rutherford hoping to support Thomsons model by firing positively charged particles at a thin gold foil thinking it would go straight through the foil, but instead it evenly distributed as they went through the foil, concluding that atoms have a small, dense nucleus(containing positive protons and most of the mass of the atom) that deflected the particles passing through. This was a drastic change in the model now knowing that 1 proton has 2000 times the mass of an electron, but its positive charge cancels the negative electron. After WW1, Chadwick and others were seeing that sometimes the mass of the atom was greater than the mass of the protons and the number of protons was less than the mass of the atom. So it was thought that there were extra electrons and protons adding mass in the nucleus but cancelling their charges, but Rutherford proposed a particle with mass but no charge and called it a neutron; made of paired protons and electrons. But scientists kept studying atoms since there was no evidence of the neutron. Chadwick repeated these experiments though, in hopes to find the neutron and succeeded in 1932, finding it in the nucleus with a close mass to the proton. Thanks to these experiments for refining a scientific theory, we now have a clearer model of the atom.</span>

Write the balanced nuclear equation for β− decay of silicon−32. Include both the mass numbers and the atomic numbers with each n
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

^{32}_{14}Si\rightarrow ^{32}_{15}P+e^-+\bar{v}_e

Explanation:

Beta decay conserves the lepton number. In \beta^- decay, the atomic number of the element increases which is accompanied by the release of  an electron antineutrino, e^-+\bar{v}_e.

For example:-

^A_ZX\rightarrow ^A_{Z+1}X+e^-+\bar{v}_e

The \beta^- decay of silicon-32 is shown below as:-

^{32}_{14}Si\rightarrow ^{32}_{15}P+e^-+\bar{v}_e

If you have 2L of a solution with 6 moles of HCl in it, what is the molarity of it?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Molarity = 3 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 2 L

Number of moles of HCl = 6 mol

Molarity = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

by putting values,

Molarity = 6 mol / 2 L

Molarity = 3 M     (M = mol/L)

What is the empirical formula for CaCo3?*
GalinKa [24]

This problem is requiring the empirical formula for CaCO₃, which is its molecular formula, and turns out to be equal, this is A. CaCO3 according to the following:

<h3>Empirical formulas:</h3><h3 />

In chemistry, molecular formulas show both the actual type and number of atoms in a chemical compound, based on the elements across the periodic table and the subscripts standing for the number of atoms in the compound.

However, the empirical formula is a reduced expression of the molecular one, which shows the minimum number of atoms in a compound after simplifying to the smallest whole numbers.

In such a way, since the given compound is CaCO₃ and both Ca and C have a one as their subscript, it is not possible to simplify any further and therefore the empirical formula equals the molecular one this time, making the answer to be A. CaCO3.
