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).
Answer:
An atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.
For example,
Al atom has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The number of positive and negative charge is equal thus it will be neutral atom.
While the atom of Al which have 13 proton and 10 electron is not neutral. The positive charge is greater than negative by 3. Which means 3 electrons are lose by Al atom and form cation "Al⁺³".
Thus an atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)

Find moles of CaCl2 and water.
Molar mass of CaCl2 = 110 (approx.)
Moles of CaCl2 = 23.7 / 110 = 0.22
so, moles of Cl- ion = 2 x 0.22 = 0.44 (because each molecule of CaCl2 will give two Cl- ions)
Moles of water = 375 / 18 = 20.83
Now, Mole fraction of CaCl2 = (moles of CaCl2) / (total moles)
total moles = moles of Cl- ions + moles of Ca2+ ions + moles of water
= 0.44 + 0.22 + 20.83
=21.49
So, mole fraction = 0.44 / (21.49) = 0.02
Guess what !!! density is not used. No need
Water is a compound that is made up of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, therefore the smallest particle of water is water molecule. The smallest particle representing water is written as H2O. H2O is the smallest unit to which water can be split while still retaining the properties of water.
