When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, the component atoms of the NaCl crystal dissociate int

o individual sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In contrast, the atoms of covalently bonded molecules (e.g., glucose, sucrose, glycerol) do not generally dissociate when placed in aqueous solution. Which of the following solutions would be expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles (molecules or ions)?
A) 1 L of 1.0 M NaCl
B) 1 L of 0.5 M NaCl
C) 1 L of 0.5 M glucose
D) 1 L of 1.0 M glucose
E) C and D will contain equal numbers of particles.

Answer:

  • <em>The solution expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles is: </em><u>A) 1 L of 1.0 M NaCl</u>

Explanation:

The number of particles is calculated as:

a) <u>For Ionic compounds</u>:

  • molarity × volume in liters × number of ions per unit formula.

b) <u>For covalent compounds</u>:

  • molarity × volume in liters

The difference is a factor which is the number of particles resulting from the dissociation or ionization of one mole of the ionic compound.

So, calling M the molarity, you can write:

  • # of particles = M × liters × factor

This table show the calculations for the four solutions from the list of choices:

Compound    kind         Particles in solution  Molarity   # of particles

                                       (dissociation)              (M)          in 1 liter

A) NaCl          ionic            ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻        1.0            1.0 × 1 × 2 = 2

B) NaCl          ionic            ions Na⁺ anc Cl⁻        0.5           0.5 × 1 × 2 = 1

C) Glucose    covalent     molecules                   0.5          0.5 × 1 × 1 = 0.5

D) Glucose    covalent     molecules                   1.0           1.0 × 1  × 1 = 1

Therefore, the rank in increasing number of particles is for the list of solutions given is: C < B = D < A, which means that the solution expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles is the solution A) 1 L of 1.0 M NaCl.

Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

The osmosis is a movement from somewhere with a lower concentration of a substance to somewhere with a higher concentration of the same substance. Against the concentration gradient. It occurs through a semi permeable membrane which prevents a non desired substance cross it. Also, it's very important to biological process.

in a chemical reaction, conservation of mass is demonstrated by proving that the mass of the reactants is___ the mass of the pro
Inga [223]

Answer:

equal to

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass tells us that during a chemical reaction, matter cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change from one form to another. This means that while atoms can rearrange themselves into new substances during a reaction, the mass of the reactants and products will be the same.

Looking at the same nonmetal group on the periodic table, how does the reactivity of an element in period 2 compare to the react
N76 [4]

Answer:

The period 2 element would be more reactive because the attractive force of protons is stronger when electrons are attracted to a closer electron shell.

Explanation:

Nonmetals want to add more electrons to their valence electron shell. Elements in period 2 have their valence shell closer their nucleus, then they are more reactive than period 4 elements.

What's the atomic number​
nadezda [96]

Answer:

the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which is characteristic of a chemical element and determines its place in the periodic table.

atomic number, the number of a chemical element in the periodic system, whereby the elements are arranged in order of increasing number of protons in the nucleus. Accordingly, the number of protons, which is always equal to the number of electrons in the neutral atom, is also the atomic number. An atom of iron has 26 protons in its nucleus; therefore the atomic number of iron is 26.
