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

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.

For the reaction: CH₃OH(g) + heat ↔ CO(g) + 2H₂(g) How will the equilibrium shift if the overall pressure is decreased?

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

To the right

Explanation:

CH₃OH(g) + heat <=> CO(g) + 2H₂(g)

According to Le Chatelier's principle, a decrease in pressure will shift the equilibrium position to the side where there is a higher volume.

From the balanced equation above,

Volume of reactant = 1

Volume of product = 1 + 2 = 3

From the above, we can see that the volume of the gasous product is higher than the volume of the gasous reactant.

Therefore, a decrease in the pressure of the system will shift the equilibrium position to the right.

an ideal gas is at a pressure 1.00 x 10^5 N/m^2 and occupies a volume 11.00 m^3. If the gass is compressed to a volume of 1.00 m

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

$P_2=1.1x10^6Pa$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, we can solve this problem by applying the Boyle's law which allows us to understand the pressure-volume behavior as a directly proportional relationship:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

In such away, knowing the both the initial pressure and volume and the final volume, we can compute the final pressure as shown below:

$P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}$

Consider that the given initial pressure is also equal to Pa:

$P_2=\frac{1.00x10^5Pa*11.00m^3}{1.00m^3}\\ \\P_2=1.1x10^6Pa$

Which stands for a pressure increase when volume decreases.

Regards.

slamgirl [31]

The equations of reaction occurring in the tubes are as follows:

2 MnO₄⁻ + 6 Br⁻ + 8 H⁺ → 2 MnO₂ + 3 Br₂ + 4 H₂O
2 MnO₄⁻ + 6 I⁻ + 8 H⁺ → 2 MnO₂ + 3 I₂ + 4 H₂O
No reaction
2 Fe³⁺ + 2 I⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺ + I₂

<h3>What are the reactions occurring in the tubes?</h3>

The reactions occurring in the tubes are redox reactions.

Based on the table the equations of reaction are as follows:

2 MnO₄⁻ + 6 Br⁻ + 8 H⁺ → 2 MnO₂ + 3 Br₂ + 4 H₂O
2 MnO₄⁻ + 6 I⁻ + 8 H⁺ → 2 MnO₂ + 3 I₂ + 4 H₂O
No reaction
2 Fe³⁺ + 2 I⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺ + I₂

In conclusion, redox reaction are reactions in which electrons are transferred.

Nikitich [7]

A major disadvantage of a corporation is the double taxation of the corporation's income and of dividends paid to shareholders.
<span>Corporations end up paying taxes twice. The corporation pays tax when it shows a profit. Secondly the corporation pays tax when it pays out dividends to its shareholders. Sole proprietorships and partnerships are taxed as owners of the business. The owners of a corporation are taxed individually from the corporation. The advantage of this is that the owners of a corporation are not taxed on the corporation's profit. </span>
