Which of the following best explains how water is able to dissolve ionic substances?

Chemistry

NikAS [45]3 years ago

Answer: The positive and negative charges of the water molecule pull on the negative and positive ends of the ionic molecule to break them apart.

Explanation:  

Ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents such as water as like dissolves like. Ionic compounds are made up of ions which remain attracted by coloumbic forces.  

Thus to separate the ions, the positive and negative charges of polar solvent pulls the opposite charges of the ionic compounds and thus break them apart. Thus the ionic compounds dissolve in water.

10. What effect does temperature have on molecular motion? Using this explanation, explain why both pressure and volume can decr
vovangra [49]

Answer:

If the temperature increases the molecular movement as well, and if it increases the same it will happen with the molecular movement.

Pressure, volume and temperature are three factors that are closely related since they increase the temperature, the pressure usually decreases due to the dispersion of the molecules that can be generated, so the volume also increases.

If the temperature drops, the material becomes denser, its molecules do not collide with each other, their volume and pressure increases.

Explanation:

The pressure is related to the molecular density and the movement that these molecules have.

The movement is regulated by temperature, since if it increases, the friction and collision of the molecules also.

On the other hand, the higher the volume, the less pressure there will be on the molecules, since they are more dispersed among themselves.

(in the opposite case that the volume decreases, the pressure increases)

How many moles of oxygen are present in 33.6l of the gas at 1atm and 0c
andreev551 [17]

The answer is: 1.5 moles of oxygen are present.

V(O₂) = 33.6 L; volume of oxygen.

p(O₂) = 1.0 atm; pressure of oxygen.

T = 0°C; temperature.

Vm = 22.4 L/mol; molar volume at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure).

At STP one mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters of volume.

n(O₂) = V(O₂) ÷ Vm.

n(O₂) = 33.6 L ÷ 22.4 L/mol.

n(O₂) = 1.50 mol; amount of oxygen.

Scientists use patterns in the periodic table to what?
Luba_88 [7]
I found this on google

“The periodic table is important because its is organized to provide a great deal of information about elements and how they relate to one another in one-easy-to-use reference. The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not been discovered.”

I hope this helps
