How is it that when a salt sample dissolves in water, the delta S for the process is positive?
1 answer:
Answer:-
Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.
When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.
The water molecules now surround these ions.
The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.
So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.
Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.

Answer: C. High surface tension
Explanation:
Water has high specific heat as it require high heat to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through .
Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.
Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom making it polar. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.
The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.
