Why is oil unable to dissolve well in water? Water is polar and oil is nonpolar, which means they have no attraction for each ot

her. Oil molecules are too large to fit between the closely spaced water molecules in the liquid state. Water has a greater density than oil, which means that they are not compatible for mixing together. The cohesive properties of water molecules make it difficult for substances like oil to dissolve.

Answer:

Water is polar, oil is non polar, which means they have no attraction for each other

Because water is polar and oil is nonpolar, their molecules are not attracted to each other. The molecules of a polar solvent like water are attracted to other polar molecules, such as those of sugar. This explains why sugar has such a high solubility in water. Ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride, are also highly soluble in water. Because water molecules are polar, they interact with the sodium and chloride ions. In general, polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. This concept is often expressed as “Like dissolves like.” So many substances dissolve in water that it is sometimes called the universal solvent. Water is considered to be essential for life because it can carry just about anything the body needs to take in or needs to get rid of.

What is maximum mass of carbohydrate in a 6-oz serving of diet soda that contains less than 1 Calorie per can if the average num
masya89 [10]

Answer:

0.24 g

Explanation:

Given that:

The average number of the calories for the carbohydrates = 4.1 calorie / g

Also,

6 - oz serving of the diet soda contains less than 1 calorie per can

So,

Maximum mass of carbohydrate = Maximum calorie / Average number of the calories for the carbohydrates

The maximum of the calorie can be 1 calorie per can

So,

<u>Maximum mass of carbohydrate = 1 calorie / 4.1 calorie / g = 0.24 g</u>

(a) Compute the radius r of an impurity atom that will just fit into an FCC octahedral site in terms of the atomic radius R of t
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

a

The radius of an impurity atom occupying FCC octahedral site is 0.414{\rm{R}}

b

The radius of an impurity atom occupying FCC tetrahedral site is 0.225{\rm{R}} .

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding of the solution we need to understand that the concept used to solve this question is based on the voids present in a unit cell. Looking at the fundamentals

An impurity atom in a unit cell occupies the void spaces. In FCC type of structure, there are two types of voids present. First, an octahedral void is a hole created when six spheres touch each other usually placed at the body center. On the other hand, a tetrahedral void is generated when four spheres touch each other and is placed along the body diagonal.

Step 1 of 2

(1)

The position of an atom that fits in the octahedral site with radius \left( r \right)is as shown in the first uploaded image.

In the above diagram, R is the radius of atom and a is the edge length of the unit cell.

The radius of the impurity is as follows:

2r=a-2R------(A)

The relation between radius of atom and edge length is calculated using Pythagoras Theorem is shown as follows:

Consider \Delta {\rm{XYZ}} as follows:

(XY)^ 2 =(YZ) ^2 +(XZ)^2

Substitute XY as{\rm{R}} + 2{\rm{R + R}} and {\rm{YZ}} as a and {\rm{ZX}} as a in above equation as follows:

(R+2R+R) ^2 =a ^2 +a^ 2\\16R ^2 =2a^ 2\\ a =2\sqrt{2R}

Substitute value of aa in equation (A) as follows:

r= \frac{2\sqrt{2}R -2R }{2} \\ =\sqrt{2} -1R\\ = 0.414R

The radius of an impurity atom occupying FCC octahedral site is 0.414{\rm{R}}

Note

An impure atom occupies the octahedral site, the relation between the radius of atom, edge length of unit cell and impure atom is calculated. The relation between the edge length and radius of atom is calculated using Pythagoras Theorem. This further enables in finding the radius of an impure atom.  

Step 2 of 2

(2)

The impure atom in FCC tetrahedral site is present at the body diagonal.

The position of an atom that fits in the octahedral site with radius rr is shown on the second uploaded image :

In the above diagram, R is the radius of atom and a is the edge length of the unit cell.

The body diagonal is represented by AD.

The relation between the radius of impurity, radius of atom and body diagonal is shown as follows:

AD=2R+2r----(B)

   In    \Delta {\rm{ABC}},

(AB) ^2 =(AC) ^2 +(BC) ^2

For calculation of AD, AB is determined using Pythagoras theorem.

Substitute {\rm{AC}} as a and {\rm{BC}} as a in above equation as follows:

(AB) ^2 =a ^2 +a ^2

AB= \sqrt{2a} ----(1)

Also,

AB=2R

Substitute value of 2{\rm{R}} for {\rm{AB}} in equation (1) as follows:

2R= \sqrt{2} aa = \sqrt{2} R

Therefore, the length of body diagonal is calculated using Pythagoras Theorem in \Delta {\rm{ABD}} as follows:

(AD) ^2 =(AB) ^2 +(BD)^2

Substitute {\rm{AB}} as \sqrt 2a   and {\rm{BD}} as a in above equation as follows:

(AD) ^2 =( \sqrt 2a) ^2 +(a) ^2 AD= \sqrt3a

For calculation of radius of an impure atom in FCC tetrahedral site,

Substitute value of AD in equation (B) as follows:

\sqrt 3a=2R+2r

Substitute a as \sqrt 2{\rm{R}} in above equation as follows:

( \sqrt3 )( \sqrt2 )R=2R+2r\\\\

r = \frac{2.4494R-2R}{2}\\

=0.2247R

\approx 0.225R

The radius of an impurity atom occupying FCC tetrahedral site is 0.225{\rm{R}} .

Note

An impure atom occupies the tetrahedral site, the relation between the radius of atom, edge length of unit cell and impure atom is calculated. The length of body diagonal is calculated using Pythagoras Theorem. The body diagonal is equal to the sum of the radii of two atoms. This helps in determining the relation between the radius of impure atom and radius of atom present in the unit cell.

How can you tell which ionic compounds will react in an aqueous solution
Darina [25.2K]
1.  Determine if the ionic substances can break apart into ions.
 - e.g. CaCO3 isn't very soluble, do it can't dissolve and dissociate.  If it can't pop apart, no ions.
2.  Swap the partners for all the other ions that you can get from step 1.  You can skip pairings with the same charge - a + can't get close to another + to react.
3.  Use solubility, acid/base, and redox rules to see if anything will happen with the ions in solution.<span />
