Why can salt and sugar both dissolve in water, even though one is ionic and the other is covalent?

Chemistry

Tema [17]4 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The water molecules, H_{2} O, are polar, with positive partial charges on the hydrogen and a negative partial charge on the oxygen. This makes it possible to interact with ionic compounds such as salt (NaCl). This interaction occurs through the partially positive and negative ends of the water, so that the positive charges attract the negative ones. The NaCl salt in water dissociates (separates) into Na^{+} and Cl^{-} ions.Na^{+} ions are surrounded by negative partial charges of water oxygen, while Cl^{-} ions are surrounded by hydrogen ends with positive partial charge. In this way the salt is dissolved in water.

Sugar is a molecular compound formed by covalent bonds. In a polar covalent bond, electrons are shared unevenly. This creates a slightly negatively charged end and a slightly positively charged end. This is what happens with sugar. These extremes are those that interact with the positive and negative extremes of water, mentioned previously. Then it is possible to say that sugar dissolves in water because both substances are polar substances.

In short, <em>water dissolves most of the substances that are polar or ionic, as in the case of sugar and salt. </em>

Water is polar molecule, ionic compound dissolves in it as like dissolves like.

there is ionic interaction between a salt and water

Sugar has hydroxyl group in it. These hydroxyl group are able to form hydrogen bond with water molecule.

[Hydrogen bond : the interaction between a hydrogen, bonded with a highly electro-negative element (F,O,N) and other highly electro-negative element (F,O,N)]

Thus due to hydrogen bond sugar is soluble in water.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Option A and D are correct.

Unstable species react rapidly.

Stable species do not react rapidly.

Explanation:

The complete question is attached to this solution.

The more stable a reactant is, the less reactive it will be. A stable reactant has a very stable structure in which it will avoid any perturbations. And for a reaction to occur, the bonds in the reactant must break down to form the products. A stable reactant has very strong bonds that aren't easy to break down, hence, reactions involving very stable reactants do not proceed rapidly.

And the more unstable a reactant specie is, the more rapidly it reacts. This is why the reaction involving the less stable isotope of carbon; Carbon-14 is very rapid. It is the same reason as explained above that is responsible for this. The bond between unstable species are not strong and are easily breakable, thereby leading to a quick reaction.

Hope this Helps!!!

How is stoichiometry used to calculate energy released when a mass of liquid freezes?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

D. Grams liquid x mol/g x delta Hf​reezing

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to reason that the stoichiometry used to calculate energy released when a mass of liquid freezes, involves the grams of the liquid, the molar mass of the liquid, as given in all the group choices, and the enthalpy of freezing because that is the process whereby a liquid goes solid.

In such a way, we infer that the correct factor would be D. Grams liquid x mol/g x delta Hf​reezing which sometimes is the negative of the enthalpy of fusion as they are contrary processes.

Regards!

Alkanes are hydrocarbons containing only single bonds. Acyclic alkanes have carbon atoms arranged in chains, whereas cycloalkane
sashaice [31]

Answer:

156 Hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

<u>Any acyclic alkane has a molecular formula that can be expressed as</u>:

CₙH₂ₙ₊₂

Where <em>n</em> is any integer and the number of carbon atoms. For example, Propane has 3 carbon atoms, this means it would have [2*3+2] 8 hydrogen atoms, resulting with a formula of C₃H₈.

An acyclic alkane with 77 carbon atoms would thus have:

2*77 + 2 = 156 hydrogen atoms

A radioactive material, with half-life of six months, has 100 thousand unstable nuclei.
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given that;

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where;

No = amount of radioactive isotope originally present

N = A mount of radioactive isotope present at time t

t = time taken

t1/2 = half life

N/1000=(1/2)^3/6

N/1000=(1/2)^0.5

N = (1/2)^0.5 * 1000

N= 707 unstable nuclei

Since the value of the initial activity of the radioactive material was not given, the activity of the radioactive material after three months is given by;

Decay constant = 0.693/t1/2 = 0.693/6 months = 0.1155 month^-1

Hence;

A=Aoe^-kt

Where;

A = Activity after a time t

Ao = initial activity

k = decay constant

t = time taken

A = Aoe^-3 *0.1155

A=Aoe^-0.3465
