Answer:

Water is a polar molecule.

Explanation:

The fundamental rule of solubility is that "like solutes would dissolve in like solvents". Both NaCl and water are polar compounds.

NaCl is an ionic compound which forms from transfer of an electron from the Cl atom and a loss of electron from Na. This leaves a separation of charge on both atoms with Na being positively charged and Cl being negatively charged. This charge separation makes NaCl a polar compound.

Water on the other hand is a polar covalent solvent. The covalent bond results from the sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Due to the more electronegative nature of Oxygen, it pulls the shared electron more closely to itself than the Hydrogen atom. This unequal sharing of the electron leaves a net positive charge on Hydrogen and a negative charge on Oxygen.

For this reason, NaCl will dissolve in water.

grandymaker [24]
Effect of temperature.

"If the temperature of the substance is increased then the rate of chemical reaction is also increased because the kinetic energy is greater."

Effect of surface area.

"If the surface area is increased then the rate of reaction is increased because there will be more active sites for the reaction to occur.

1 kg ball rolls off a 33 m high cliff, and lands 23 m from the base of the cliff. Express the displacement and the gravitational
enyata [817]

Answer:

d = <23, 33, 0> m ,    F_W = <0, -9.8, 0> ,   W = -323.4 J

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using projectile launch ratios, for the x-axis the displacement is

         x = vox t

Y Axis  

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

It's displacement is

      d = x i ^ + y j ^ + z k ^

Substituting

      d = (23 i ^ + 33 j ^ + 0) m

Using your notation

   d = <23, 33, 0> m

The force of gravity is the weight of the body

         W = m g

        W = 1  9.8 = 9.8 N

In vector notation, in general the upward direction is positive

         W = (0 i ^  - 9.8 j ^ + 0K ^) N

         W = <0, -9.8, 0>

Work is defined

           W = F. dy

             W = F dy cos θ

In this case the force of gravity points downwards and the displacement points upwards, so the angle between the two is 180º

          Cos 180 = -1

           W = -F y

           W = - 9.8 (33-0)

           W = -323.4 J
