Answer:

A polar molecule has both a partial positive and a partial negative. Since NaCl (sodium chloride) is made out of Na+ and Cl- ions, the positive and negative parts of the water will pull on these ions individually since positive attracts negative and negative attracts positive. This magnetic force causes the Na+ and the Cl- ions to be pulled apart.

33 protons 36 electrons 45 neutrons

Artist 52 [7]

As has an atomic number of 33, so it has 33 protons.

It has a charge of 3-, so there are three more electrons than protons. Thus, there are 36 electrons.

It has a mass of 75, which is the sum of neutrons and protons.

33+n=75 ---> n = 75 - 33 = 42 neutrons

The answer is e) 33 protons, 42 neutrons and 36 electrons.

A solution of an unknown nonvolatile nonelectrolyte was prepared by dissolving 0.250 g of the substance in 40.0 g of ccl4. the b

Finger [1]

Answer : The molar mass of the solute will be 87.90 g/mol.

Explanation : We know the formula for elevation in boiling point, which is

Δt = i $K_{b}$ m

given that, Δt = 0.357, $K_{b}$ = 5.02 and mass of $CCl _{4}$ = 40,

on substituting the value we get,
0.357 = (1) X (5.02) X (x/ 0.044), on solving we get x = 2.844 X $10^{-3}$ .
Now, 0.250/ 2.844 X $10^{-3}$ = 87.90 g/mol. which is the weight of unknown component.
