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."<>

How do you calculate net force?
bogdanovich [222]
How to find net force

The net force is the vector sum of all forces act upon an object.

The formula to calculate net force is Fnet = ma
where the net force is equal to the mass of an object (in Kg) multiplied by the acceleration of the object (in meters per second squared)

You may also calculate the net force acting upon an object with Fnet = Fa + Ff
where the net force is equal to the sum of the applied force and the force of friction.

What is the concentration, in m/v percent, of a solution prepared from 50 g NaCl and 2.5 L of solution?
Serjik [45]
When we convert the given mass in grams and volume in liters to m/v percent, we recall that m/v percent is expressed as grams/100 milliliters. In this case the expression becomes (50 grams/ 2500 L)*(0.1L/100ml), that is equal to 0.002 grams/ 100 mL. Hence the the concentration is equal to 0.2 m/v percent.
