Chemistry

Oil spills happen when people make mistakes or are careless and cause an oil tanker (a ship that carries oil from one country or place to another) to leak oil into the ocean. ... Natural disasters (like hurricanes) may cause an oil spill, too, by flipping an oil tanker over, causing oil to come pouring out.

An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, especially the marine ecosystem, due to human activity, and is a form of pollution. The term is usually given to marine oil spills, where oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters, but spills may also occur on land.

A release of oil into the environment, either leaked or discharged from a ship, lorry, truck etc
The major environmental impacts so far have come from normal activities, rather than catastrophic oil spills.
Or
an accidental release of oil into a body of water, as from a tanker, offshore drilling rig, or underwater pipeline, often presenting a hazard to marine life and the environment.

A  substance can dissolve in another when they have thee same type of intermolecular interaction.

<h3>What is solubility?</h3>

The term solubility of a solute refers to the extent to which a solute dissolve in a solvent. We must know that a substance can dissolve in another when they have thee same type of intermolecular interaction.

Thus;

a) Octane (C8H18) mixes well with CCl4 because they are both non polar substances.

b) Methanol (CH3OH) is mixed with water in all ratios because the both are polar substances.

c) NaBr dissolves very poorly in acetone (CH3 ― CO ― CH3) because acetone is only slightly polar.

If a 100. -g sample of a hydrated compound contains 37.07-g sodium, 48.39-g carbonate and 14.54-g water, find the empirical form
Mumz [18]

he required empirical formula based on the data provided is Na2CO3.H2O.

<h3>What is empirical formula?</h3>

The term empirical formula refers to the formula of a compound which shows the ratio of each specie present.

We have the following;

Mass of sodium = 37.07-g

Mass of carbonate = 48.39 g

Mass of water = 14.54-g

Number of moles of sodium = 37.07-g/23 g/mol = 2 moles

Number of moles of carbonate = 48.39 g/61 g/mol = 1 mole

Number of moles of water = 14.54/18 g/mol = 1 mole

The mole ratio is 2 : 1: 1

Hence, the required empirical formula is Na2CO3.H2O

Why do covalent compounds tend to be squishy?
Sav [38]

Answer:

Since they're easy to separate, covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points. 2) Covalent compounds are soft and squishy (compared to ionic compounds, anyway). The reason for this is similar to the reason that covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points. When you hit an ionic compound with something, it feels very hard
