Which interactions and processes contribute to the dissolution of ionic compounds in water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
artcher [175]3 years ago

Answer:

Ion-dipole attraction and solvation of the ions  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume you have an ionic compound MX.

Ion-dipole interactions:

Water is a highly polar molecule.  

The partially negative O atom is strongly attracted to the M⁺ cations at the surface of the solid. The partially positive H atoms are strongly attracted to the X⁻ ions.

If the water molecules hit the surface of the solid with the right orientation, the ion-dipole attractions will help dislodge the ions from the surface.

Solvation:

Once the ions are in solution, the ions are stabilized by solvation. The strong ion-dipole attractions cause a shell of water ions to form around the ionss.

Silver nitrate solution reacts with calcium chloride solution according to the equation: 2 AgNO3 + CaCl2 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2 AgCl All
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

14.33 g

Explanation:

Solve this problem based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.

To do that we need the molecular weight of the masses involved and then calculate the number of moles, find the limiting reagent and  finally calculate the mass of AgCl.

                      2 AgNO₃   + CaCl₂    ⇒   Ca(NO₃)₂   + 2 AgCl

mass, g                  6.97        6.39                                     ?

MW ,g/mol         169.87      110.98                                  143.32

mol =m/MW           0.10         0.06                                    0.10

From the table above AgNO₃ is the limiting reagent and we will produce 0.10 mol AgCl which is a mass :

0.10 mol x 143.32 g/mol = 14.33 g

Boron sulfide, B2S3(s), reacts violently with water to form dissolved boric acid (H3BO3) and hydrogen sulfide gas.Express your a
ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

From the statement of the problem,

  B₂S₃_{s} + H₂O_{l}  →  H₃BO₃_{aq} + H₂S_{g}

              B₂S₃ + H₂O  →  H₃BO₃ + H₂S

We that the above expression does not conform with the law of conservation of mass:

To obey the law, we need to derive a balanced reaction equation:

   Let us use the mathematical method to obtain a balanced equation.

let the balanced equation be:

                        aB₂S₃ + bH₂O  →  cH₃BO₃ + dH₂S

where a, b, c and d will make the equation balanced.

  Conservating B: 2a = c

                          S: 3a = d

                          H: 2b = 3c + 2d

                           O: b = 3c

   if a = 1,

      c = 2,

      b = 6,

      2d = 2(6) - 3(2) = 6, d = 3

Now we can input this into our equation:

                     B₂S₃ + 6H₂O  →  2H₃BO₃ + 3H₂S

    B₂S₃_{s} + 6H₂O_{l}  →  2H₃BO₃_{aq} + 3H₂S_{g}

What begins to happen to radioactive uranium as soon as a mineral containing it crystallizes from magma?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<span>The radioactive uranium decays into its daughter product, lead. It would do this in magma as well, as nuclear decay depends on forces within the atom, not on the phase of the material in which the atom is a part.</span>

Explain why indicators are useful for measuring pH
ycow [4]

Explanation:

pH indicators are weak acids that exist as natural dyes and indicate the concentration of H+ (H3O+) ions in a solution via color change. A pH value is determined from the negative logarithm of this concentration and is used to indicate the acidic, basic, or neutral character of the substance you are testing.
