What happens to sodium chloride when it dissolves in water

Chemistry
2 answers:
scoundrel [369]3 years ago

When sodium chloride dissolves in water it dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions.

NaCl + H₂O --> Na⁺+ Cl⁻

Both Na+ and Cl- ions are solvated by water molecules.

Water molecule has a dipole due the difference in electronegativity between the H and O atoms, as a result H and O atoms in water molecule acquires a partial positive and negative charge respectively.

δ⁺  δ⁻  δ⁺

H - O -H

Na⁺ and Cl⁻ gets attracted to the partial negative charge on the O atom and partial positive charge on the H atom respectively of water molecule. Thus ion dipole bonds are formed between NaCl and water.

<>"On addition to water the Na+ section of NaCl is attracted to the oxygen side of the water molecules, while the Cl- side is attracted to the hydrogens' side of the water molecule. This causes the sodium chloride to split in water, and the NaCl dissolves into separate Na+ and Cl- atoms."<>

Find ∆G for a cell whose potential is +0.24 V with 4 moles of electrons exchanged.
Setler [38]
We need to use the following formula
ΔG= -nF E_{cell}

E_{cell}= 0.24V
n= 4 moles
F= constant= 96500C/mol

let's plug in the values.

ΔG= -(4)(96500)(0.24)= -92640 J or -92.6 kJ

How many moles in 2 h2o molecules
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

2 molecules of water represents 3.32 x 10^-24 moles of water.

Explanation:

To find the solution to this problem, you have to use the concept of Avogadro´s number, that is in 1 mol of any element o compound there are                    6.022 x 10^23 molecules. Then,

1 mol H2O ------------- 6.022 x 10^23 molecules

x= 3.32 x 10^-24 ---- 2 molecules.

2 molecules of water represents 3.32 x 10^-24 moles of water.
