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

Chemistry
1 answer:
artcher [175]4 years ago
6 0

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.

The temperature of evaporation is much higher for water than for alcohol. Without knowing more about the chemistry of alcohol, w
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Fewer hydrogen bonds form between alcohol molecules. As a result, less heat is needed for alcohol molecules to break away from solution and enter the air.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is a kind of intermolecular interaction that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom.

Both water and alcohols exhibit hydrogen bonding. However, alcohols exhibit fewer hydrogen bonds than water.

As a result of this, the temperature of evaporation is much higher for water than for alcohol because hydrogen bonds hold water molecules more closely than alcohol molecules are held.

A rubber balloon was filled with helium at 25.0˚C and placed in a beaker of liquid nitrogen at -196.0˚C. The volume of the cold
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The volume of helium at 25.0 °C is 60.3 cm³.

Explanation:

In order to work with ideal gases we need to consider absolute temperatures (Kelvin). To convert Celsius to Kelvin we use the following expression:

K = °C + 273.15

The initial and final temperatures are:

T₁ = 25.0 + 273.15 = 298.2 K

T₂ = -196.0 + 273.15 = 77.2 K

The volume at 77.2 K is V₂ = 15.6 cm³. To calculate V₁ in isobaric conditions we can use Charle's Law.

\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}} \\V_{1}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}} \times T_{1}=\frac{15.6cm^{3} }{77.2K} \times 298.2K=60.3cm^{3}

As an EPA scientist studying catalytic converters and urban smog, you want to find Kc for the following reaction: 2NO2(g) ⇋ N2(g
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Kc = 4.774 * 10¹³

Explanation:

the desired reaction is

2 NO₂(g) ⇋ N₂(g) + 2 O₂(g)

Kc =[N₂]*[O₂]² /[NO₂]²

Since

1/2 N₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) ⇋ NO(g)

Kc₁= [NO]/(√[N₂]√[O₂]) →  Kc₁²= [NO]²/([N₂][O₂])

and

2 NO₂(g) ⇋ 2 NO(g) + O₂(g)

Kc₂= [NO]²*[O₂]/[NO₂]² →  1/Kc₂= [NO₂]²/([NO]²[O₂])

then

Kc₁²* (1/Kc₂) = [NO]²/([N₂]*[O₂]) *[NO₂]²/([NO]²[O₂])  = [NO₂]²/([N₂]*[O₂]²) = 1/Kc

Kc₁² /Kc₂ = 1/Kc

Kc= Kc₂/Kc₁² =1.1*10⁻⁵/(4.8*10⁻¹⁰)² = 4.774 * 10¹³
