Tamiku [17]3 years ago

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent as the hydrogen and oxygen atom has large difference in their electronegativities.

Oxygen atom is highly electronegative as compared to hydrogen atom therefore, it pulls the electrons of hydrogen atom closer towards itself.

As a result, two poles will create forming a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that high electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen is the cause of polarity in water molecules.

We say that salts will dissociate but acids will react with water. We say that acids will
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

ionize

Explanation:

Acids are chemical substances that lose/donate their hydrogen ion (H+) when they react with water. This property of acids is termed IONIZATION. In a chemical reaction involving acids and bases, acids release their proton or hydrogen ion (H+) in the presence of water solutions to form a conjugate base, which is usually an anion.

For example, in the chemical reaction;

HX + H20 -------> X- + H30+

HX is the acid because it loses its electron to water and forms the anion, X-, which is the conjugate base. Hence, it can be said that acid HX ionizes in water.

What mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) forms when 7.5 g of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) reacts with a dilute solution of hydrochloric
Gre4nikov [31]

 The mass of NaCl  formed  is 8.307  grams


<u><em> calculation</em></u>

step 1: write the equation  for reaction

Na₂CO₃  + 2HCl → 2 NaCl  +CO₂ +H₂O

Step 2: find the  moles of Na₂CO₃

moles = mass/molar mass

 The  molar mass of Na₂CO₃  is = (23 x2) + 12 + ( 16 x3) = 106 g/mol

moles  = 7.5 g/106 g/mol =0.071 moles

Step 3: use the  mole ratio to determine the  mole of NaCl

Na₂CO₃:NaCl  is  1:2  therefore the moles of NaCl =0.07  x2 =0.142 moles


Step 4:  calculate mass  of NaCl

mass= moles x molar mass

the molar  mass of NaCl= 23 +35.5 =58.5 g/mol

mass  = 0.142  moles x 58.5 g/mol =8.307  grams

Coal can be used to generate hydrogen gas (a potential fuel) by thefollowing endothermic reaction.C(s) + H2O (g) &lt;==&gt; CO(g
SpyIntel [72]

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

C(s) + H_2O (g)\leftrightharpoons CO(g) + H_2(g)

Given that reaction is an endothermic reaction.

For the given options:

a)Adding more C

If the concentration of C that is the reactant is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of C takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction to wards the formation of hydrogen gas.

b) Adding more H_2O

If the concentration of water that is the reactant is increased, so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of water  takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction towards the formation of hydrogen gas.

c) Raising the temperature  of the reaction mixture

If the temperature is increased,heat of the equilibrium mixture will also increase so according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in heat that is decrease in temperature occurs.

As, this is an endothermic reaction, forward reaction will decrease the temperature. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction that is towards the formation of hydrogen gas.  

d) Increasing the volume  of reaction mixture

If the volume of the container is increased, the pressure will decrease according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in pressure is taking place. As the number of moles of gas molecules is greater at the product side. So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction that is towards the formation of hydrogen gas.  

e) Adding a catalyst  to reaction mixture

Role of catalyst is to attain the equilibrium quickly without disturbing the state of equilibrium. Hence, addition of catalyst will not change the equilibrium of the reaction.  

f) Adding an inert gas to reaction mixture

Adding inert gas to the mixture at constant volume will not effect the equilibrium. Hence, addition of an inert gas will not change the equilibrium of the reaction.

A student is doing an experiment to determine the effects of temperature on an object. He writes down that the initial temperatu
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

Explanation:

The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.

The two most important scales are:

- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).

- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.

The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

T(K)=T(^{\circ}C)+273.15

Therefore  in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

Magnesium reacts with carbon dioxide to form magnesium oxide and pure solid carbon.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

2Mg  + 2CO₂  →  2MgO  + C

Option a.

Explanation:

The chemical reactions are balanced in order to verify compliance with the Law of conservation of mass. This law states that in any chemical reaction, the mass of the reagents must be equal to the mass of the products
