Why is water (H2O) considered the "universal solvent"?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]4 years ago

It is considered as a universal solvent since most substances dissolve in water. And comparing it to other liquids, it is the one who dissolves a wide range of substances. Also, it is an important substance for every living thing.

This is how to solve the problem:

First, we need to find the qcalorimeter.
The, you must use the equation:

xavier, yaozhou and zara had some beads. xavier and yaozhou had total of 438 beads. xavier and zara had total of 204 beads. youz
SVEN [57.7K]
To solve this problem, we need to set-up algebraic expression. First, use variables to represent the number of beads. 

Let: x = number of Xavier's beads
       y = number of Y<span>aozhou's beads
       z = number of Zara's beads

</span>It is important to note that since we have three unknowns, we should also have three independent equations. <span>Based on the given statements, we have the following three equations:

(1) x + y = 438
(2) x + z = 204
(3) y = 3z

Substitute y in terms of z in equation (1). Then multiply equation (2) with -1. 

x + 3z = 438
-(x + z = 204)
-------------------
      2z = 234
        z = 117

From equation (3),

y = 3(117) = 351

Using equation (1),

x = 438 - 351 = 87

Thus, Xavier had 87 beads.</span>

What mass in grams of hydrogen is produced by the reaction of 2.0 g of magnesium? (Make sure to balance the reaction first)
denpristay [2]

Answer:

0.164541341 g H2

Explanation:

1) Convert grams to moles by dividing by RMM of Magnesium (24.31g).

  2g Mg * (1 mol Mg / 24.31 g Mg) = 0.082270671 mol of Mg

2) Use the balanced equation's ratio of 1 mol Mg: 1 mol H2.

  0.082270671 mol of Mg = 0.082270671 mol of H2

3) Convert the mol of H2 back into grams by multiplying by H2's RMM (2 g).

  0.082270671 mol of H2 * 2 g H2 = 0.164541341 g H2

* Answer can be rounded to your liking *

100 mL of a buffer that consists of 0.20 M NH3 and 0.20 M NH4Cl is titrated with 25 mL of 0.20 M HCl. Calculate the pH of the re
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

pH = 9.03

Explanation:

The equilibrium of the NH₄Cl / NH₃ buffer in water is:

NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

Initial moles of both NH₃ and NH₄⁺ are:

0.100L ₓ (0.20 mol / L) = <em>0.0200 moles </em>

The NH₃ reacts with HCl producing NH₄⁺, thus:

NH₃ + HCl → NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻

<em>That means, moles of HCl added to the solution are the same moles are consumed of NH₃ and produced of NH₄⁺</em>

Moles added of HCl were:

0.025L ₓ (0.20mol / L) = 0.0050 moles of HCl. Thus, final moles of NH₃ and NH₄⁺ are:

NH₃: 0.0200 moles - 0.0050 moles = 0.0150 moles

NH₄⁺: 0.0200 moles + 0.0050 moles = 0.0250 moles.

Using H-H equation for bases:

pOH = pKb + log [NH₄⁺] / [NH₃]

<em>Where pKb is -log Kb =</em><em> 4.745</em><em>.</em>

Replacing:

pOH = 4.745 + log 0.0250mol / 0.0150mol

pOH = 4.967

As pH = 14- pOH

<em>pH = 9.03</em>

Suppose you have an Avogadro's number of nitrogen atoms. How many grams does this represent? Enter your answer to one decimal pl
shusha [124]

Answer:

2.3 x 10-23 g.

Explanation:

The mass of a single atom is the mass number, 14, is the mass in grams of one mole of carbon.

One mole of Nitrogen atom is 6.022 x 1023 atoms (Avogadro's number). This can then used to convert a nitogen atom to grams by the ratio:

mass of 1 atom / 1 atom = mass of a mole of atoms / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms.

mass of 1 atom = mass of a mole of atoms / 6.022 x 1023

mass of 1 N atom = 14 / 6.022 x 10^23 N atoms

mass of 1 N atom = 2.325 x 10^-23 g

The mass of a single Nitrogen atom is 2.325 x 10-23 g.
