To dilute a solute in a solution, it is necessary to add a proper solvent for the reaction to occur, and adding more solvent will cause the solution to dilute even more, therefore the best answer will be letter B
The rate of a chemical reaction can be raised by increasing the surface area of a solid reactant. This is done by cutting the substance into small pieces, or by grinding it into a powder.
Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.
Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.
The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.
Example are:
1.Stirring of sugar in water.
In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.
2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute
If you have an aqueous solution that contains 1.5 moles of HCl, the number of moles of ions in the solution is 3.0 moles.
<h2>Further Explanation
</h2><h3>Strong acids </h3>
- Strong acids are types of acids that undergo complete dissociation to form ions when dissolved in water.
- Examples of such acids are, HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3
- Dissociation of HCl
HCl + H₂O ⇔ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
<h3>Weak acids </h3>
- Weak acids are types of acids that undergo incomplete dissociation to form ions when dissolved in water.
- Examples of such acids are acetic acids and formic acids.
- Dissociation of acetic acid
H₃COOH ⇔ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺; CH₃COO⁻ is a conjugate base of acetic acid.
<h3>In this case;</h3>
- HCl which is a strong acid that ionizes completely according to the equation;
HCl + H₂O ⇔ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
- From the equation, 1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of H₃O⁺ ions and 1 mole of OH⁻ ions.
Therefore;
1.5 moles of HCl will produce;
= 1.5 moles of H₃O⁺ ions and 1.5 moles of OH⁻ ions.
This gives a total number ions of;
= 1.5 + 1.5
= 3 moles of ions
