Identify the major ions present in an aqueous lioh solution

Chemistry

<u>Answer:</u> The major ions present in aqueous LiOH solution is lithium ions and hydroxide ions.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an ionic compound dissociates into its ions when dissolved in aqueous solution.

The chemical equation for the ionization of LiOH solution follows:

LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of lithium hydroxide produces 1 mole of lithium ions and 1 mole of hydroxide ions

Hence, the major ions present in aqueous LiOH solution is lithium ions and hydroxide ions.

When you dissolve an ionic compound into water, the have a tendency to separate from each other. They're still chemically the samething.

LiOH is an ionic compound. Lithium is positive and "borrows" the hydroxide's negative charge to be neutral & vice-versa. When LiOH is dissolved in water the Lithium and the hydroxide separate into their respective forms, also known as ions.

So, LiOH dissolves to become these ions in solution= Li+ and OH-
(the plus and minus represent their charges).

Hope that helps!

How does a small set of elements combine to form molecules , compounds and mixtures, which are used in your daily lives?
Anastaziya [24]

Elements are the simplest substances in nature that cannot be broken down into smaller parts by normal chemical means. They contain only atoms of the same type, ones that have identical chemical properties. There are at least 90 naturally-occurring elements, plus man-made ones. If you look at a periodic table, you'll see the names of each of these elements and some of their properties (such as mass, or how heavy the atom is).

Molecules & Compounds

When atoms from different elements are joined together in groups, they form molecules. The atoms in molecules bind together chemically, which means that the atoms cannot be separated again by physical means, such as filtration. The molecule has different properties from the elements from which is was made. A water molecule is not three separate atoms, two hydrogen (H) and one oxygen (O), but it is actually a unique H2O molecule with its own set of distinct properties.

Like elements that are formed of atoms of the same sort, compounds are formed of molecules of the same sort. The elements can be combined into about 2 million different compounds! Did you know that eggshells are made up of a calcium carbonate compound? And citric acid, which is found in oranges and other citrus fruit, is a compound of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Your kids might find it helpful to do a science research project finding other common compounds around your house. Make hypotheses and do research using a chemistry reference book, web site, or text book to find out the answers.

There are more carbon compounds than compounds of any other element. Organic compound is the name for the carbon compounds found in all living things.

Mixtures - A Bit of This and That

All matter can be classified into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance consists of a single element or compound. Iron is formed only of iron (Fe) atoms; table salt is formed only of sodium chloride (NaCl) molecules. A mixture, however, is made up of different compounds and/or elements. When salt is added to water to make saltwater, it becomes a mixture. The salt and water molecules do not combine to form new molecules, but only "mix" together while still retaining their identities. Air is also a mixture, containing just the right amounts of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases for life on Earth.  

Not all mixtures have the same composition throughout. Salt water does, but Italian salad dressing does not--the parts separate and are not perfectly blended or homogenous. Mixtures of metals are called alloys (bronze is an alloy of copper and tin); liquid mixtures (such as saltwater) are called solutions.

The substances that make up a mixture can be separated by physical means because they have different physical properties (such as different melting points) and are not chemically bonded. A mixture can be separated into its parts in a variety of ways, including decantation (letting the sand in a mixture of water and sand settle, and then draining off the water, for example), filtering, and evaporation. You can use a kitchen funnel and coffee filter for filtration, and either use sunlight or low heat for evaporation. Try out these methods on saltwater and a sand and water mixture to see how they work and compare the results. Evaporation will work for both saltwater and sand and water solutions, but filtration will not work for saltwater. Can you think of other examples where a separating method will work for one mixture and not another? Another one to try is lemon juice, a mixture of water and citric acid; what do you think happens when it is boiled? The water evaporates and eventually leaves nothing but citric acid crystals

Hydrophobic compounds dissolve in
Anastaziya [24]
Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar molecules that group together to form micelles rather than be exposed to water. Hydrophobic molecules typically dissolve in nonpolar solvents (e.g., organic solvents).
