<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Ions from the solute have a strong attraction to the polar solvent

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>When sodium is added to water, the sodium ions Na+ are attracted to the oxygen side of the water molecules, while chloride ions Cl- are attracted to the positively charged hydrogen side of water molecule.</u></em>
  • This causes sodium ion to split in water and dissolve into separate sodium ions and chloride ions.
  • The process can be represented by this equation.

  NaCl(s) --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Bowling ball

They are traveling at the same speed, but the bowling ball has more mass.  The bowling ball has more kinetic energy because more force is needed to stop the rolling bowling ball. Two balls with different masses moving at the same speed have different amounts of kinetic energy.
