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.

Write half reactions and the overall reaction occurred during discharging of acid lead battery.
Gre4nikov [31]
When  battery  discharge / delivering  current  the  lead  at  the  anode  is  oxidized
that  is ;
pb---->pb+  2e-
since  the  lead  ions  are  in  presence  of  aquous   sulfate  in  insoluble  lead  sulfate  precipitate onto the  electrode
the  overall   reaction  at  the  anode  is  therefore
Pb +  SO4^2-  ---> PbSO4  +  2e-

Well all reactions need energy to start it. The light is the energy that the reaction requires to start it. Sunlight also has no mass in the first place so laws of conservation of mass don't apply to it.
