Water is a polar solvent. Which of the following will not dissolve in water?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: option B.olive oil.

Explanation.

The general rule of thumb when you analyze the ability of a solvent to dissolve a solute is that lke dissolves like.

That means:

1) polar solvents dissolve ionic or polar solutes

2) Non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes

3) Non-polar solvents do not dissolve polar and ionic solutes

4) Polar solvents do not dissolve non-polar solutes.

There are exceptions, but the rule is applicable in here.

A. table salt: it is NaCl, a ionic compound, so the water which is a polar solvent will dissolve the table salt.

B. Olive oil: the oils are non-polar organic compounds, so it will not be dissolved in a polar solvent.

C. Vinegar: vinegar is acetic acid, which is a polar organic compound, so it will be dissolved in water.

D. Sugar: sugar (sucrose) is a polar organic compound, so it will get dissovled in water.

A sample of sodium sulfite has a mass of 2.80 g.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

For a: The number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

For b: The number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

For c: The mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams

Explanation:

The chemical formula of sodium sulfite is $Na_2SO_3$ . It is formed by the combination of 2 sodium $(Na^+)$ ions and 1 sulfite $(SO_3^{2-})$ ions

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of sodium sulfite = 2.80 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of sodium sulfite}=\frac{2.80g}{126g/mol}=0.022mol$

For a:

Moles of sodium ions in sodium sulfite = (2 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(2\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=2.65\times 10^{22}$ number of sodium ions

Hence, the number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

For b:

Moles of sulfite ions in sodium sulfite = (1 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(1\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.325\times 10^{22}$ number of sulfite ions

Hence, the number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

For c:

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

According to mole concept:

$6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units are present in 1 mole of a compound

Or, $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units of sodium sulfite have a mass of 126 grams

So, 1 formula unit of sodium sulfite will have a mass of = $\frac{126}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 1=2.09\times 10^{-22}g$

Hence, the mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams

4.50 g of NaCl reacts with 10.00 g of AgNO3 to produce 7.93 g of AgCl. If the theoretical amount of AgCl that can be formed is 8

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: 94.07%

Explanation:

Percentage yield can be calculated by the formula

%yield = Experimental yield/Theoretical yield x100

Experimental yield = 7.93g

Theoretical yield = 8.43

%yield = Experimental yield/Theoretical yield x100

%yield = 7.93/8.43 x 100 = 94.07%
