What general rule can be followed when choosing a type of solvent to dissolve a particular solid?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>the polarity of the solute or the solvent.

for example:
oil will not mix with water because oil molecules are nonpolar however water moleculses are polar. so, they will not mix with each other.

when we put sodium chloride in water, sodium chloride will be easily dissoved. because both sodium chloride and water are polar.

in other case, if we put sodium chloride and hexane together. sodium chloride will not dissove in hexane, because hexane is a nonpolar solvent.

finally, if we try to mix hexane and bromine together, they will mix uniformly. because both hexane and bromine are nonpolar. (note: most diatomic molecules are nonpolar, such as hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, chlorine gas, etc. )

so just remember, nonpolar and nonpolar will dissovle each other. and polar and polar will dissolve each other.</span>

What did J.J. Thomson discover about the atom that changed the atomic model previously used?

galina1969 [7]

J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.

Answer the following questions for H2CrO4:

Sholpan [36]

If this molecule is one half of a buffer, then the formula of the second half of the buffer is M2CrO4 where M is a univalent metal.

<h3>What is a strong acid?</h3>

A weak acid is one that is able to ionize completely in solution. The acid called chromic acid H2CrO4 is not able to ionize completely in solution.

We know that a buffer is composed of a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt hence if the acid H2CrO4 is present in a buffer then the other half must be salt of the acid.

If this molecule is one half of a buffer, then the formula of the second half of the buffer is M2CrO4 where M is a univalent metal.

Emily spills concentrated sodium hydroxide solution on her lab bench. What she should do first?

blagie [28]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

She should notify her teacher.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Sodium Hydroxide is very corrosive in nature and it causes Redness, Pain, Serious skin burns and Blisters. Sodium hydroxide does not produce systemic toxicity, but is very CORROSIVE and can cause severe burns in all tissues that it comes in contact with. Therefore she should not touch it and she must notify her teacher as soon as possible.

The fluid in a barometer (shown above) is mercury, Hg. Why point

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Mercury responds to temperatures differently than water. When mercury is cold, the molecules bunch together, making it seem to be less liquid, and the opposite happens during heat.

Hope this helps!

What is the coefficient of Ca(OH)2 in the equation Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O when balanced using the smallest possible coe

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1

Explanation:

Step 1: unbalanced equation

Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

Step 2: Balancing the equation

On the right side we have 2x N (in Ca(NO3)2 ) and 1x N on the left side (in HNO3). To balance the amount of N on both sides, we have to multiply HNO3 by 2.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

On the left side we have 4x H (2xH in Ca(OH)2 and 2x H in HNO3), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side, by 2.

Now the equationis balanced.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 = Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1
