Why do polar substances dissolve in water?

Chemistry
2 answers:
SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Polar molecules have " dipole dipole" force of attraction between the molecules consisting of partially positive ion and partially negetive ion.

Water is the best example of polar molecule, having strong "hydrogen bonding" between the atoms of Oxygen (-ve) and Hydrogen(+ve).

When any polar substance dissolved in water, it break down into +ve and -ve ions.

Because of the dipole dipole attraction polar molecules are soluble in water.

Describe how elements of different electronegativities can share electrons unequally, leading to the formation of a polar covale
Nesterboy [21]
A polar covalent bond is a covalent bond in
which the atoms have an unequal attraction for
electrons and so the sharing is unequal. ... The
atom with the greater electronegativity acquires
a partial negative charge, while the atom with
the lesser electronegativity acquires a partial
positive charge.

Two elements are more likely to be ionically bonded when ....
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The correct option is: b. the elements in the material are well apart (in different sides) in the periodic table            

Explanation:

Ionic bond is a type of chemical bonding that is formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. It is formed between atoms having large electronegativity difference.

The more electronegative atom accepts electrons and becomes a negatively charged anion. Whereas, the less electronegative atom loses electrons and becomes a positively charged cation.

<u>Simply, an ionic bond is formed when the electrons are transferred from a metal to a non-metal, which are present on different sides of the periodic table.</u>

4 moles of hydrogen react with 5 moles of oxygen to form water, identify the excess reagent?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Excess Reagent = oxygen

Explanation:

Limiting reagent: The substance that is totally consumed when the reaction is completed.

Excess reagent: The substance left after the limiting reagent is consumed completely

The balanced chemical equation for formation of water is as follow:

2H_{2}+O_{2}\rightarrow 2H_{2}O

This means when 2 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of oxygen, 2 moles of water is produced.

Hence the ratio in which hydrogen and oxygen gas reacts is 2:1

Now if 2 mole hydrogen require 1 mole of oxygen ,then 4 mole hydrogen need 2 mole of oxygen.

H_{2}:O_{2}=2:1

or

H_{2}:O_{2}=4:2

Here 5 mole of oxygen is reacting but only 2 mole is required .

Oxygen is in excess.
