Answer:

The correct answer is C ions from the solute molecules have a strong attraction to the polar solvent molecules.

Explanation:

NaCl or Sodium chloride is an ionic compound which easily get dissolved in polar molecular compound such as water(H2O).

Both NaCl and H2O are polar compound because the atoms that forms NaCl and H2O have vast difference in their electronegativities.As a result the bonding electrons in both NaCl and H2O are not equally shared.

NaCl get dissolved in water molecules by dipole dipole interaction.

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Study this chemical reaction:

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.

Oxidation:

Reduction:

Answer:

Oxidation taking place in given reaction :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction taking place in given reaction;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s) \rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

Oxidation :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction ;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

Lakes that have been acidified by acid rain can be neutralized by limiting the addition of limestone how much limestone is requi

svet-max [94.6K]

From the given pH, we calculate the concentration of H+:
[H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-5.5
We then use the volume to solve for the number of moles of H+:
moles H+ = 10^-5.5M * 4.3x10^9 L = 13598 moles
From the balanced equation of the neutralization of hydrogen ion by limestone written as
CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) → Ca2+(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
we use the mole ratio of limestone CaCO3 and H+ from their coefficients, which is 1 mole of CaCO3 is to react with 2 moles of H+, to compute for the mass of the limestone:
mass CaCO3 = 13598mol H+(1mol CaCO3/2mol H+)
(100.0869g CaCO3/1mol CaCO3)(1kg/1000g)
= 680 kg

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Dalton's law of partial pressure

P total pressure = Pressure of helium + Pressure of neon + Vapor pressure of water

P = 28.3 mmHg, Pressure of helium = 381 mmHg, Vapor pressure of water at 28°C

791 mmHg - 381 mmHg - 28.3 mmHg = Pressure of neon

Pressure of neon = 381.7 mmHg
