Acetone major species present when dissolved in water

Chemistry
1 answer:
jek_recluse [69]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: acetone molecule ( CH₃-CO-CH₃)


Explanation:


1) Acetone is CH₃-CO-CH₃


2) That is a molecule (build up of covalent bonds).


3) When dissolved, covalent bonded compounds remain as separate molecules, then it is said that the major species present in the solution is the molecule. The molecules of acetone are surrounded (sovated) by the molecules of water.


This as opposed to the case of ionic compounds that ionize. When a compound as NaCl dissolves in water, it ionizes completely, so the major speceies are not NaCl formulas, but the ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻, not molecules.


That leads to the answer: the major species present when acetone is dissolved in water is the molecules of acetone (you do not need to state the fact that the molecules of water are part of the solution, because that is not the target of the question).

B. The unknown solution had the lower concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the molecules of the solvent has a tendency to move through a membrane which is semipermeable from lower concentrated side to the higher concentration side, so that the concentrations on both sides of the membrane must be equal.

So the unknown solution may have lesser concentration than the isotonic solution so that molecules of that solution move from less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, so its level drops.

What determines the speed at which a particle of matter moves
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The force exerted on it.

Explanation:

As the law of motion states, an object at rest will remain at rest an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by another force.

How many moles of solute are contained in a 250.0-milliliter solution that has a concentration of 0.85 M?
adoni [48]

Answer : The correct option is, 0.21 moles

Solution : Given,

Molarity of the solution = 0.85 M = 0.85 mole/L

Volume of solution = 250 ml = 0.25 L     (1L=1000ml)

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of the solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the moles of solute of the solution.

0.85mole/L=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{0.25L}

\text{moles of solute}=0.2125=0.21moles

Therefore, the moles of solute is, 0.21 moles

Select the correct boxes. which two elements have the same number of valence electrons?
Simora [160]

Carbon and silicon have same number of valance electrons which is 4 electrons

Now, Barium is a 2nd group element. So, it has two valance electrons.

Silicon is a 16th group element and it has 4 valance electrons as does the carbon. This is because they both stay in the same group in the periodic table.

Neon is a noble gas which has 8 valance electrons and stays in the 18th group.

Therefore, carbon and silicon have same number of valance electrons which is 4 electrons.

<h3>What are Valence electrons ?</h3>

The electrons in an atom's outermost shell, or energy level, are called valence electrons. For instance, the valence electrons of oxygen are six, with two in the 2s subshell and four in the 2p subshell.

  • The number of valence electrons for neutral atoms is the same as the number of the atom's main group. A periodic table element's column can be used to determine its main group number. For instance, carbon, which belongs to group 4, has four valence electrons. Group 6 oxygen contains six valence electrons.

How to differ mixture and compound? What are their differences? ​
Roman55 [17]

Explanation:

"Compound: A substance that is made up of more than one type of atom bonded together. 

Mixture: A combination of two or more elements or compounds which have not reacted to bond together; each part in the mixture retains its own properties."
