Water is a good choice of solvent because it is benign, cheap and readily available. Identify two characteristics that make wate

Explanation:

Characteristics of good solvent choice for the recrystallization.

1. Water has low solubility of benzoic acid at room temperature.

2. Cold water's low solubility of  benzoic acid allows for the high concentration production of crystal. And these crystals could be easily soluble in hot water.

3. Water dissolves soluble impurities well at  the room temperature.

Explanation:

It is known that a compound is soluble when the boiling point of the solvent is high. Whereas at normal temperature of the solvent it will have low solubility.

And, if the solute is highly soluble into the solvent at normal temperature then it is difficult to recrystallize the solute.

Hence, in order to recrystallize the solute particles it is necessary that impurities will be highly soluble at the room temperature or they should remain insoluble into the hot solvent.

As a result, there will not take place any reaction between the solute and solvent.

Since, benzoic acid is non-polar in nature and water is a polar solvent so, it will not easily dissolve in water. Therefore, it will readily evaporate in order to give the pure compound.

Why does water boil at a lower temperature at higher altitudes

Atmospheric pressure increases as altitude increases therefore boiling time will need to be extended

What is thermal expansion?
Charra [1.4K]
Thermal expansion<span> is the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature, through heat transfer. Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance. When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases.</span>

Plz help me with these three please please !!!!!
Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

Cations are positively charged ions with fewer electrons than protons. To partake in reaction, metals lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. It has lost valence electrons and wold have a positive charge associated with it.

Potassium is a group 1 element. A metal.

Potassium has 1 valence electron so it loses the valence electron to form a stable octet.

A potassium ion has a positive charge and therefore cannot be an anion but is a cation.

The group number pretty much denotes the number of valence electrons.

Group 1 = 1

Group 2 = 2

Group 17 = 7

Group 18 = 8
