How is it that when a salt sample dissolves in water, the delta S for the process is positive?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bess [88]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Gastric acid pH can range from 1 to 4, and most of the acid is HCl.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Given the molarity of the solution is3.03*10^{-2}.

The volume of the solution is 10.9/1000 L

Number of moles of HCl = Molarity * volume of the solution in L

Number of moles of HCl =3.03*10^{-2}*\frac{1000}{10.9}

Number of moles of HCl = 2.7 moles.

Therefore number of moles of HCl in 10.9 ml of the stomach acid is 2.7 moles

PbSO4 has a Ksp = 1.3 * 10-8 (mol/L)2.
Oduvanchick [21]

i. The dissolution of PbSO₄ in water entails its ionizing into its constituent ions:

\mathrm{PbSO_{4}}(aq) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Pb^{2+}}(aq)+\mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}(aq).

---

ii. Given the dissolution of some substance

xA{(s)} \rightleftharpoons yB{(aq)} + zC{(aq)},

the Ksp, or the solubility product constant, of the preceding equation takes the general form

K_{sp} = [B]^y [C]^z.

The concentrations of pure solids (like substance A) and liquids are excluded from the equilibrium expression.

So, given our dissociation equation in question i., our Ksp expression would be written as:

K_{sp} = \mathrm{[Pb^{2+}] [SO_4^{2-}]}.

---

iii. Presumably, what we're being asked for here is the <em>molar </em>solubility of PbSO4 (at the standard 25 °C, as Ksp is temperature dependent). We have all the information needed to calculate the molar solubility. Since the Ksp tells us the ratio of equilibrium concentrations of PbSO4 in solution, we can consider either [Pb2+] or [SO4^2-] as equivalent to our molar solubility (since the concentration of either ion is the extent to which solid PbSO4 will dissociate or dissolve in water).

We know that Ksp = [Pb2+][SO4^2-], and we are given the value of the Ksp of for PbSO4 as 1.3 × 10⁻⁸. Since the molar ratio between the two ions are the same, we can use an equivalent variable to represent both:

1.3 \times 10^{-8} = s \times s = s^2 \\s = \sqrt{1.3 \times 10^{-8}} = 1.14 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol/L}.

So, the molar solubility of PbSO4 is 1.1 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L. The answer is given to two significant figures since the Ksp is given to two significant figures.

A red sports drink contains Red 40 dye. A 5.4 mL aliquot of this sports drink was diluted to 25.0 mL with deionized water in a v
miskamm [114]

Answer:

84.0 ppm is the concentration of Red 40 dy in the original sports drink.

Explanation:

Concentration of red dye in sport drink before dilution C_1=?

Volume of the sport drink before dilution V_1=5.4 mL

Concentration of red dye in sport drink after dilution C_2=18.1 ppm

Volume of the sport drink after dilution V_2=25.0 mL

C_1V_1=C_2V_2( dilution )

C_1=\frac{C_2V_2}{V_1}=\frac{18.1 ppm\times 25.0 mL}{5.4 mL}

C_1=83.80 ppm\approx 84.0ppm

84.0 ppm is the concentration of Red 40 dy in the original sports drink.

In a chemical reaction, substrate molecule A is broken down to form one molecule of product B and one molecule of product C. The
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is d. 0.5 M

Explanation:

Data

[A] = 1M

K = 0.5

Concentration of B and C at equilibrium = x

Concentration of A at equilibrium = 1 - x

Equation of equilibrium

                                       k = \frac{[B][C]}{A}

Substitution

                                       0.5 = \frac{[x][x]}{1 - x}

Simplification

                                       0.5 = \frac{x^{2}}{1 - x}

Solve for x

                                      0.5(1 - x) = x²

                                      0.5 - 0.5x = x²

                                       x² + 0.5x - 0.5 = 0

Find the roots             x₁ = 0.5     x₂ = -1

There are no negative concentrations so the concentration of A at equilibrium is  

                       [A] = 1 - 0.5

                             = 0.5 M
