Lab Safety Rule #3 says to always add acids or bases to the solvent and NEVER the other way around true or false?

Chemistry
1 answer:
VladimirAG [237]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

true

Explanation:

<em>The standard laboratory rule is to always add acids or bases to solvent and not the other way round.</em>

The dissolution of concentrated acids/bases in solvents (water) generates heat energy. Thus, if the solvent is added to them, a layer of hot weak acid or base will be formed and this will boil and spray around, causing an explosion.

On the other hand, if acid/base is added to solvents, they flow into the solvents and get diluted immediately without any boiling taking place. Hence, it is safe to add acid/base to solvents and not the other way round.

What does “like dissolves like” mean?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

c  solvents dissolve chemicals with the same polarity ( ex. both are polar)

Explanation:

Like dissolves like is one of the central rule that guides the solubility of one substance in another.

  • It fully suggests substance having the same nature as in polarity-wise will dissolve one another.
  • For example, water is a polar liquid, it will dissolve table salt because it i also polar.
  • Water cannot dissolve oil because oil is non-polar.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Cl2(g) (green/yellow mix) + 2KBr(s) (white) ---> 2KCl(s) (violet) + Br2(g) (reddish brown)

This chemical reaction is a redox type.

Explanation:

Look at the oxidation state, when the number increase your element gets oxidated, when the number decrease, the elements it's getting reduced.
