Water is often referred as a <span>universal solvent </span>because it is capable dissolving much more solutes as compared to any other solvent.  This is because, water is a high polar molecule. In water, H has partial positive charge while O has partial negative charge. 


Due to this, water favors dissociation of molecules into positively and negatively charged ions. Positively charge ions gets attracted  towards oxygen i.e. negatively charges, while negatively charged ions get attracted towards positive end of water molecule. 


However, it is worth nothing that, despite water being referred as universal solvent, many compounds are insoluble or partially soluble in water. For instance, most of the hydroxide displays poor solubility in water.

Some COCl2 is placed in a sealed flask and heated to 756 K. When equilibrium is reached, the flask is found to contain COCl2 (7.
o-na [289]

Answer:

9.044\times 10^{-3} is the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 756 K.

Explanation:

COCl_2\rightleftharpoons CO+Cl_2

Equilibrium concentration of COCl_2

[COCl_2]=7.40\times 10^{-4} M

Equilibrium concentration of CO

[CO]=3.76\times 10^{-2} M

Equilibrium concentration of Cl_2

[Cl_2]=1.78\times 10^{-4} M

The expression of an equilibrium constant can be written as;

K_c=\frac{[CO][Cl_2]}{[COCl_2]}

=\frac{3.76\times 10^{-2}\times 1.78\times 10^{-4}}{7.40\times 10^{-4}}

K_c=9.044\times 10^{-3}

9.044\times 10^{-3} is the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 756 K.

The air we breathe is not considered by chemists to be an element. why not
ohaa [14]
Because Air itself is not an element. it is made up by different elements such as Oxygen and nitrogen. since its made up of a mix of different elements, its rather a homogeneous mixture :)
