Explanation:

Polarity is defined as the development of partial charges on the atoms of a molecule. In a water molecule, there are hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Due to the difference in electronegativity of both hydrogen and oxygen atom there is development of partial positive charge on hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on oxygen atom.

So, when bond between hydrogen and oxygen will break down then it will form hydrogen ions ( $H^{+}$ ) and oxygen ions ( $O^{2-}$ ).

Ion-dipole interactions are defined as the interactions that occur when an ion interacts with the dipole of a molecule.

When an electron is added to a neutral atom to convert it into a negative ion then the amount of change taking place in its energy is known as electron affinity.

So, oxygen atom has an affinity towards cations and hydrogen atom has an affinity for anions.

Thus, we can conclude that following interactions and processes contribute to the dissolution of ionic compounds in water:

1. Affinity of oxygen towards cations

2. Ion–dipole interactions

4. Hydration

6. Affinity of hydrogen towards anions

What mass of carbon monooxide must be burned to produce 175 kJ of heat under standard state condaitions?

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

17.3124 grams

Explanation:

Given;

Amount of heat to be produced = 175 kJ

Molar mass of the carbon monoxide = 12 + 16 = 28 grams

Now,

The standard molar enthalpy of carbon monoxide = 283 kJ/mol

Thus,

To produce 175 kJ heat, number of moles of CO required will be

= Amount heat to be produced / standard molar enthalpy of CO

= 175 / 283

= 0.6183

Also,

number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

therefore,

0.6183 = Mass / 28

Mass of the CO required = 0.6183 × 28 = 17.3124 grams

If 45.00 g of precipitate is formed from the reaction of 0.100 mol/L

Tom [10]

Answer:

Approximately $2.53\; \rm L$ (rounded to three significant figures) assuming that ${\rm HCl}\, (aq)$ is in excess.

Explanation:

When ${\rm HCl} \, (aq)$ and ${\rm AgNO_3}\, (aq)$ precipitate, ${\rm AgCl} \, (s)$ (the said precipitate) and $\rm HNO_3\, (aq)$ are produced:

${\rm HCl}\, (aq) + {\rm AgNO_3}\, (aq) \to {\rm AgCl}\, (s) + {\rm HNO_3}\, (aq)$ (verify that this equation is indeed balanced.)

Look up the relative atomic mass of $\rm Ag$ and $\rm Cl$ on a modern periodic table:

$\rm Ag$ : $107.868$ .
$\rm Cl$ : $35.45$ .

Calculate the formula mass of the precipitate, $\rm AgCl$ :

$\begin{aligned}& M({\rm AgCl})\\ &= (107.868 + 35.45)\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1} \\\ &\approx 143.318 \; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm AgCl$ formula units in $45.00\; \rm g$ of this compound:

$\begin{aligned}n({\rm AgCl}) &= \frac{m({\rm AgCl})}{M({\rm AgCl})} \\ &\approx \frac{45.00\; \rm g}{143.318\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}}\approx 0.313987\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

Notice that in the balanced equation for this reaction, the coefficients of ${\rm AgNO_3} \, (aq)$ and ${\rm AgCl}\, (s)$ are both one.

In other words, if ${\rm HCl}\, (aq)$ (the other reactant) is in excess, it would take exactly $1\; \rm mol$ of ${\rm AgNO_3} \, (aq)\!$ formula units to produce $1\; \rm mol \!$ of ${\rm AgCl}\, (s)\!$ formula units.

Hence, it would take $0.313987\; \rm mol$ of ${\rm AgNO_3} \, (aq)\!$ formula units to produce $0.313987\; \rm mol\!$ of ${\rm AgCl}\, (s)\!$ formula units.

Calculate the volume of the ${\rm AgNO_3} \, (aq)\!$ solution given that the concentration of the solution is $0.124\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ :

$\begin{aligned}V({\rm AgNO_3}) &= \frac{n({\rm AgNO_3})}{c({\rm AgNO_3})} \\ &\approx \frac{0.313987\; \rm mol}{0.124\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}}\approx 2.53\; \rm L\end{aligned}$ .

(The answer was rounded to three significant figures so as to match the number of significant figures in the concentration of ${\rm AgNO_3} \, (aq)\!$ .)

In other words, approximately $2.53\; \rm L$ of that ${\rm AgNO_3} \, (aq)\!$ solution would be required.
