To figure out the ratios of these compounds, it is important to remember that the charge of these compounds must be <em>neutral</em>.

So in order to make them neutral, you must have specific ratios:

Na^{+}: Br^{-}  =1:1; This is true because they both have a charge of magnitude of 1.

Al^{3+}: Cl^{-}=1:3; We need 3 chlorine atoms because we need to balance out the charge from the 3+ charge of aluminum - therefore since chlorine has a 1- charge, we need 3 atoms.

Mg^{2+}: O^{2-}=1:1; The charges of the magnesium (2+) are balanced with the oxygen charge (2-).

Al^{3+}: O^{2-}=2:3; This is correct because if charges are like this, you must find the least common factor in order to know the ratio. The LCF is 6, therefore, for the atom with a 3+ charge, you need 2 of them, and for the atom with a 2- charge, you need 3 of them. This keeps the charge neutral.

All factors that cause an increase in the rate of dissolving have what in common?
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

They increase the attractive forces between the solute and solvent particles.

Explanation:

The dissolution of a solute in a solvent depends on interaction between the solute and the solvent. The more the attractive force and interaction between solute and solvent, the greater the greater the rate of dissolution of the solute in the solvent.

The absence of interaction between solute and solvent molecules means that the substance can not dissolve in that particular solvent. Hence, any factor that enhances solute-solvent interaction will enhance dissolution of a solute in a particular solvent.
