Why is water almost always a solvent with dissolved solutes in it?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Genrish500 [490]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Water is a good solvent for ionic compounds as the amount of energy released by forming ion-dipole interactions between water molecules and charged ions is sufficient to compensate for the amount of energy required to break ionic bonds (aka lattice energy) between charged ions in the ionic compound and hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

Water however, is not a good solvent for organic compounds and metals...

Calculate the theoretical yield in moles of magnesium chloride when 37 grams of Mg(s) react with 38 grams of HCl(aq).Write the a
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.52 moles.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, 37 grams of magnesium reacts with 38 grams of HCl to produce MgCl2 or magnesium chloride. The reaction is:  

Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) ⇒ MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)

There is a need to find the theoretical yield in moles of MgCl2. The formula for calculating the no. or moles is mass/molar mass. Therefore, moles of magnesium is 37/24 = 1.54 and moles of HCl will be 38/36.5 = 1.04.  

From the reaction it is clear that one mole of magnesium reacts with two moles of HCl, as lesser quantity of HCl is present in the given case, therefore, HCl will be the limiting reagent.

Now theoretical moles of magnesium chloride will be,  

= moles of HCl / 2

= 1.04 / 2  

= 0.52 moles

When 1 mole of carbon is burned, carbon dioxide is produced, and 393 kilojoules (kJ) of energy are released. If this reaction is
EleoNora [17]
The energy of 393 kJ is released as heat.  Then, the container will experience an increase of temperature and, given that it is sealed, also an increase of pressure.

The increase of temperature results from the heat developed during the reaction.

The increase of pressure results from the fact that that the solid carbon will become gaseuos carbon dioxide. This gas will occupy a larger volume than the solid carbon and also this elevation of the temperature will make the pressure of the gas inside the container increase.

If energy cannot be created or destroyed, what happens to the kinetic and potential energy?​
Julli [10]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed, although it can be changed from one form to another. KE + PE = constant. ... As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it's kinetic energy increases and it's potential energy decreases. hope this helps
