Why does NaCl have a high melting point but readily dissolves in water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago

NaCl IS READILY SOLUBLE IN WATER DUE TO HIGH HYDRATION ENERGY

BUT HAVE HIGH MELTING POINT DUE TO STRONG ELECTROSTATIC FORCE BETWEEN SODIUM AND CHLORIDE IONS.

Explanation:

Sodium has low melting point 98 deg celcius. In water sodium gets floated.

But sodium chloride have a high melting point because lattice is constructed due to strong electro-static force between positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions as they attract each other. This leads to strong construction so, NaCl have high temperature to break the bonds between the ions.

The melting temperature depends on the charge of the ions. Due to high hydration energy the sodium ions are readily soluble in water. Water can dissolve salt because the positive part of water molecules attracts negative chloride ions and negative part of water molecules attracts positive sodium ions.

Given is the specific heat of water equal to 4.18 Joule per gram per *C.

This means to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree Celsius we need 4.18 joule of energy.

Now, look at the question. We are asked that how much amount of energy would be required to raise the temperature of 25 g of water by (54-50) = 4 degree celsius.

To do so we have formula

Q = m C (temperature difference)

Which area of the periodic table has the highest electronegatvities
krok68 [10]

The area where the periodic table has the highest electronegativity are Groups 1 and Groups 7 because they are close on giving away an electron and the other is close to becoming stable.
