"What is salt composed of?" Maria wondered. She took a microscope from the cabinet in her science classroom, put some salt on a

microscope slide, and focused on the salt. She saw tiny squares on the slide. "I guess salt is made only of crystals:" Maria observed. Is Maria correct in her conclusion?

Answer is: No. Salt, like all matter is composed of atoms.

For example, table salt is sodium chloride mixed with small amount of potassium iodide (KI), sodium iodide (NaI) or sodium iodate (NaIO₃).

Atomic level - sodium chloride (NaCl) has crystal cubic structure (lattice-type arrangement) with ionic bonds. Sodium is cation with charge 1+ and chlorine is an anion with charge 1-.

Macroscopic level - table salt is colorless crystal, soluble in water with high melting and boiling temperature.

Calculate the mole fraction of each component in a solution with 6.87 g of sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in 65.2 g of water.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

mole fraction of NaCl = 0.03145.

mole fraction of water = 0.9686.

Explanation:

  • Mole fraction is an expression of the concentration of a solution or mixture.
  • It is equal to the moles of one component divided by the total moles in the solution or mixture.
  • The summation of mole fraction of all mixture components = 1.

mole fraction of NaCl = (no. of moles of NaCl) / (total no. of moles).

<em>no. of moles of NaCl = mass/molar mass </em>= (6.87 g)/(58.44 g/mol) = 0.1176 mol.

<em>no. of moles of water = mass/molar mass</em> = (65.2 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = <em>3.622 mol.</em>

<em></em>

∴ mole fraction of NaCl = (no. of moles of NaCl) / (total no. of moles) = (0.1176 mol)/(0.1176 mol + 3.622 mol) = 0.03145.

<em>∵ mole fraction of NaCl + mole fraction of water = 1.0.</em>

∴ mole fraction of water = 1.0 - mole fraction of NaCl = 1.0 - 0.03145 = 0.9686.

An isomer with a branched structure will require:
Contact [7]
The  branched  structure  isomer  will require   less  energy  to  melt  than the straight  chain  isomer

    explanation
Branched  structure  isomer    has  weak  intermolecular  forces  of attraction  as  compared  to  straight  chain  isomers.  In addition the  branched  isomer  has  a  low boiling point as  compared to  straight chain isomers. Since   boiling require  the of  the  intermolecular  forces tend to have  lower  boiling  point   than straight chain
