I suck at this stuff. HELP

When a solute is added to a solution why does it remain homogeneous?

Olenka [21]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

When a solute is added to a solution, it remains homogeneous because the solute is soluble in given solvent.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Homogeneous mixtures, also called true solutions are those mixtures in which the components proportions are same throughout in any given sample. For example, the mixture of table salt (NaCl) and water. When the solution is unsaturated and further NaCl is added to it, it will dissolve the NaCl because the saturation point is still not reached. Remember, as "<em>Like Dissolves Like</em>" NaCl being polar in nature will interact with water molecules and will dissociate into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions surrounded by δ- O and δ+ H atoms of water molecules.

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

In order to form a Homogeneous mixture the solution must be unsaturated, solvent must have affinity for incoming solute particles and the size of solute should be equal to 1 Â (Angstrom).

A 50.00 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 45.00°C. It is then placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter filled with water. The

V125BC [204]

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, the specific heat of metal is 0.165 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ .

<h3>Definition of calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where:

Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m.
C is the specific heat substance.
ΔT is the temperature variation.

<h3>Specific heat capacity of the metal</h3>

In this case, you know:

For metal:

Mass of metal = 50 g
Initial temperature of metal= 45 °C
Final temperature of metal= 11.08 ºC
Specific heat of metal= ?

For water:

Mass of water = 250 g
Initial temperature of water= 10 ºC
Final temperature of water= 11.08 ºC
Specific heat of water = 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$

Replacing in the expression to calculate heat exchanges:

For metal: Qmetal= Specific heat of metal× 50 g× (11.08 C - 45 C)

For water: Qwater= 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ × 250 g× (11.08 C - 10 C)

If two isolated bodies or systems exchange energy in the form of heat, the quantity received by one of them is equal to the quantity transferred by the other body. That is, the total energy exchanged remains constant, it is conserved.

Then, the heat that the gold gives up will be equal to the heat that the water receives. Therefore:

- Qmetal = + Qwater

- Specific heat of metal× 50 g× (11.08 C - 45 C)= 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ × 250 g× (11.08 C - 10 C)

Solving:

- Specific heat of metal× 50 g× (-33.92 C)= 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ × 250 g× 1.08 C

Specific heat of metal× 1696 g×C= 279.45 cal

Specific heat of metal= $\frac{279.45 cal}{1696 gC}$
