Answer

Hi, the factors are;

Temperature

molecular size of solute

stirring

Explanation

An increase in temperature increases the solubility rate.Large solute molecules have larger molecular weight and size, thus less soluble. Stirring increases the speed of the dissolving process. In addition, polarity affects solubility in that solutes dissolve in solvents that share similar polarity.

All the best!

Answer: Temperature, Molecular Size of the particle, Polarity, Stirring

Explanation: Solubility of substances in water depends upon the below mentioned factors -

1. Temperature - Higher the temperature, higher will be the kinetic energy of the particles which will move in random directions. Thus the particle will nt remain as precipitate in the solution and will try to get dissolved.

2. Molecular Size of the particle - It is more difficult for the solvent to dissolve the particle with large molecular size as it will take high temperature to get dissolved.

3. Polarity - 'Like dissolves like' explains the polarity concept of the solubility. It means that the non polar solute will get dissolved in non polar solvents and polar solutes will get dissolved in polar solvents only.

4. Stirring - Stirring only helps to increase the speed of the process of solubility. It has nothing to do with the substance.

stepan [7]

Answer:

a) Measurements have a good precision.

Explanation:

Accuracy is the proximity of the data to the value considered as real, in this situation we do not know the real value and we do not know if the data is accurate or not, so we can discard options b and d.

Now, precision is the proximity of the data obtained among themselves and that is what we can observe, so the appropriate answer is the option a.

The strength of an atom's attraction for the electrons in a chemical bond is the atom's?

Mazyrski [523]

<span><span>Yes. An element that is highly electronegative pulls more on the electrons in a bond, such as oxygen in H20. This creates a polar bond, where there is a small negative charge on the oxygen, and a small positive charge in between the hydrogens.

Is CO2 a covalent or ionic bond? will give brainliest for the correct answer

NeX [460]

Answer:

covalent bond

Explanation:

a covalent bond happens between two nonmetals

a ionic bond happens between a metal and a non metal

CO2 is a bond between carbon and oxygen

carbon and oxygen are both non metals therefore CO2 is a covalent bond

Draw a Lewis structure for C2H3Cl . Include all hydrogen atoms and show all unshared electron pairs. None of the atoms bears a f

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since C2H3Cl is an organic compound we need a central C-C parent chain to which the three hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom provides the electrons to get all the octets except for H as given on the statement.

In such a way, on the attached picture you can find the required Lewis dot structure without formal charges and with all the unshared electron pairs, considering there is a double bond binding the central carbon atoms in order to compete their octets.

Best regards!
