What happens to sodium chloride when it dissolves in water

Chemistry
2 answers:
scoundrel [369]3 years ago
7 0

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."<>

Now that we have put a coefficient of 3 in front of caso4, what coefficient should go in front of cacl2 to balance calcium (ca)?
Ronch [10]
3 to balance the calciums on both sides of the equation, but only if that balances the Cl on both sides of the equation to because you now have 6 Cl and 3Ca

An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation.
Alona [7]

Explanation:

The given following standard cell notation.  

Mg(s) | Mg^2+ (aq) || Aq^+(aq) | Aq(s)

Oxidation:

Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-....(1)

Magnesium metal by loosing 2 electrons is getting converted into magnesium cation. Hence, getting oxidized

Reduction:

Ag^+(aq)+1e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)...(2)

Silver ion by gaining 1 electrons is getting converted into silver metal. Hence, getting reduced.

Overall redox reaction: (1)+2 × (2)

Mg(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Ag(s)

How do I do question number 3? And what is the answer?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

60.02 g.

Explanation:

  • It is clear from the balanced equation:

<em>Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂. </em>

that 1.0  mole of Mg reacts with 2.0 moles of HCl to produce 1.0 mole of MgCl₂ and 1.0 moles of H₂.

  • 20.0 g of Mg reacts with excess HCl. To calculate the no. of grams of HCl that reacted, we should calculate the no. of moles of Mg:

<em>no. of moles of Mg = mass/atomic mass</em> = (20.0 g)/(24.3 g/mol) = 0.823 mol.

  • From the balanced equation; every 1.0 mol of Mg reacts with 2 moles of HCl.

∴ 0.833 mol of Mg will react with (2 x 0.833 mol = 1.646 mol) of HCl.

<em>∴ The mass of reacted HCl = no. of moles x molar mass</em> = (1.646 mol)(36.46 g/mol) = <em>60.02 g.</em>
