Nacl is an ionic solid. the na+ and cl− ions in nacl are bonded through an electrostatic force of attraction commonly known as t

he ionic bond. water is a polar solvent. the oxygen atom, being more electronegative, attracts the electron cloud toward itself. as the electron cloud is pulled by the oxygen atom, it carries a partial negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms carry a partial positive charge. this partial separation of charges in the water molecule makes it polar. which intermolecular forces contribute to the dissolution of nacl in water?

NaCl is the poster-compound for ionic bonding. The bonds in NaCl have approximately 70% ionic character, making the bonds highly polar. It's an exaggeration to say that there are real ions in NaCl with +1 and -1 charges, but the real charges of Na and Cl are certainly close to the expected +1 and -1, correspondingly. Since NaCl is as a network of extremely charged particles, and not separate molecules, NaCl does not display intermolecular forces. 

Water molecules conversely do display London dispersion forces, Keesom forces and hydrogen bonding. 

The polar water molecules are involved to the polarized Na and Cl atoms. This is what permits NaCl(s) to dissolve and ionize in water. Consequently, the kind of attraction accountable for the ionization of NaCl is ion-dipole attraction.

The ion - dipole attractions between the Na+ and the polar water molecule and the ion - dipole attractions between the Cl- and the polar water molecule contribute to the dissolution of sodium chloride in water.

Further Explanation:

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. The electrostatic attraction between its positive charged ions (Na+) and negatively charged ions (Cl-) holds the crystal lattice together.

Water is a polar molecule. Polar molecules have a net dipole moment due to the differences in electronegativity of the atoms in the molecule and the geometry of the molecule as well. Since oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, it pulls the shared electrons towards itself. The part of the molecule where oxygen is, gains a partial negative charge, since the shared electrons spend more time in this region than near hydrogen. The hydrogen side of the molecule, then becomes mostly electron-deficient giving it a partial positive charge.

In the dissolution of sodium chloride in water, the ion - ion attractions of the salt is weakened as it absorbs heat. Then, polar water molecules start to surround individual Na+ or Cl- ions by orienting themselves accordingly: the partial negative side of water are attracted to the Na+ and the H side of the water molecule is attracted to the Cl- ions. With enough water molecules surrounding the each ion, the ion - dipole attractions formed overcome the ion - ion attraction of the salt.

During what meterological (weather) changes does sublimation occur on earth?
insens350 [35]
Sublimation occurs more readily when definite weather circumstances are present such as low relative humidity and dry winds. Sublimation also occurs more at higher altitudes where the air pressure is less than at lower altitudes and energy such as strong sunlight is also needed. Sublimation happens a lot in the south face of Mt. Everest which have low temperatures, strong winds, intense sunlight, very low air pressure and the recipe for sublimation to occur.

The theoretical yield of Cl2 from certain starting amounts of MnO2 and HCl was calculated as 60.25 g and 65.02 g, respectively.
user100 [1]

Answer:

c    43.38 g

Explanation:

The reaction  between MnO2 and HCl can be represented by the following balanced equation:

MnO2 + HCl ---> Cl2 + MnCl2 + H2O

From the balanced equation, the theoretically required molar ratio of MnO2 to HCl is 1:1, therefore the yields would have been expected to be equal.  

For the fact that HCl  gives a higher yield (65.02g) than MnO2 (60.25g) according to the problem statement, HCl should be in excess,  while the limiting reagent should be MnO2 .  

Thus, the theoretical yield of Cl2 will be  60.25 g.

By definition, the percentage yield is given by

% Yield = (Actual Yield) / (Theoretical Yield),  

This can be simplified to

Actual Yield = % Yield * Theoretical Yield

Plugging in the given values we have

Actual Yield = 72% *  60.25 = 43.38 g
