Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. It is often called the

universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. The reason for this is best explain by which of these? A) Water is polar with a positive and negative side. B) Water is the most abundant liquid on earth. C) Water bonds with most chemicals. D) Water expands as it freezes.

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case the answer would be

Water is a polar molecule with positive and negative side

Now since these negative and positives are present in the water molecule . In easy terms when a substance reacts with water .the negative part of water ( oxygen ) reacts with the positive part of the substance and the positive part of the water ( hydrogen) reacts with negative part of the substance .if you look at the reason . Water is held up by one of the strongest attraction forces available .since most substances have weaker attraction forces between them ,therefore water can easily overcome them with its forces. Thus giving it the ability to dissolve a variety of substances

The pH of a solution is 2.0. Which statement is correct?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

pH + pOH = 14,  [H₃0⁺] [0H⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

Explanation:

When it comes to questions involving pH, the equations used are;

[H₃0⁺] [0H⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

This equation shows the concentration of hydroxonium ions alongside that of the hydroxide ions.

pH + pOH = 14

If the value of either the pH of the pOH is know,one can calculate the value of the other using this equation.

What happens to polyester slacks if aqueous naoh is spilled on them? What happens to polyester slacks if aqueous is spilled on t
Helga [31]

Polyester is a condensation polymer of dicarboxylic acid and diol. Example : Polethylene terphthalate is polymer of ethylene glycol and tere phthallic acid. When a strong acid like HCl or a strong base like NaOH comes in contact with polyester (like spilled on slacks) it causes hydrolysis of polyester and it get converted back to dicarboxylic and diol(the monomers). the general reaction will be RCOOR' ---> RCOOH + R'OH Thus slacks will get teared.

A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 211 torr at 39.9∘C. The vap
DaniilM [7]

Answer : This is not an ideal mixture.

Explanation :

Using Raoult's law :

P_{Mixture}=p_{CH_3OH}+p_{H_2O}\\\\P_{Mixture}=x_{CH_3OH}\times p^o_{CH_3OH}+x_{H_2O}\times p^o_{H_2O}

where,

P_{Mixture} = total vapor pressure of mixture

p^o_{CH_3OH} = vapor pressure of pure methanol = 256 torr

p^o_{H_2O} = vapor pressure of pure water = 55.3 torr

x_{H_2O} = mole fraction of water = 0.312  

x_{CH_3OH} = mole fraction of methanol = 1 - 0.312 = 0.688

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

P_{Mixture}=x_{CH_3OH}\times p^o_{CH_3OH}+x_{H_2O}\times p^o_{H_2O}

P_{Mixture}=0.688\times 256torr+0.312\times 55.3torr

P_{Mixture}=193.4torr

From this we conclude that the total vapor pressure of mixture is less than the total given vapor pressure of 211 torr. That means, the interactions between the methanol and water would be weaker than those between the individual substances. So, this is not an ideal mixture.

Hence, this is not an ideal mixture.
