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.

In an experiment, a student needs 250.0 mL of a 0.100 M copper (II) chloride solution. A stock solution of 2.00 M copper (II) ch
LekaFEV [45]

Answer : The volume of stock solution needed are, 12.5 mL

Explanation :

Formula used :

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the initial molarity and volume of copper (II) chloride.

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the final molarity and volume of stock solution of copper (II) chloride.

We are given:

M_1=0.100M\\V_1=250.0mL\\M_2=2.00M\\V_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.100M\times 250.0mL=2.00M\times V_2\\\\V_2=12.5mL

Hence, the volume of stock solution needed are, 12.5 mL
