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."<>

If a solid line represents a covalent bond and a dotted line represents intermolecular attraction, which of these choices shows
blsea [12.9K]
<span>Generally, a hydrogen bond can be characterized as a proton shared by two lone electron pairs. It occurs when a hydrogen (H) atom, covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F), experiences the electrostatic field of another highly electronegative atom nearby.

   Among the choices in the bond (-N...H-O) one side of the Hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom with a lone pair (-N) and the other side is directly bonded with a highly electronegative atom (O-).

    So -N...H-O- shows a hydrogen bond.</span>

What is a mixture called when it has its different components mixed unevenly within the substance?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

When 2 or more pure substances are mixed together they form a mixture. If the mixture has its different components mixed evenly within the substance it is a homogeneous mixture. Whereas if the mixture has its different components mixed unevenly within the substance it is a heterogeneous mixture

Choose the statements below that are correct regarding the nature of protons and neutrons. Choose ALL statements that are correc
V125BC [204]

Answer:

c. protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus

d. protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass

Explanation:

There are three fundamental particles within an atom which are the protons, neutrons and electrons.

The protons are the positively charged particles within an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are the negatively charged particles.

  • Both the protons and neutrons occupy the tiny nucleus at the center of the atom.
  • The electrons moves round the nucleus through the orbital space.
  • The mass of the protons and neutrons are similar and are assumed to be approximately the same.

How many moles of Ag will be produced from 16g of Cu, assuming AgNO3 is available in excess
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Assuming the reaction you are referring to is the following:

AgNO3 + Cu --> Cu(NO3)2 + Ag

First, we should balance the reaction:

2 AgNO3 + Cu --> Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag

Now we carry out dimensional analysis, taking into account the molar ratios of different species as given in the balanced reaction and molar masses (which we can look up in the periodic table).

We begin with what we know, which is that we have 16.0 g Cu reacting and work our way toward the quantity that we would like to calculate, namely moles of Ag.

16.0 g Cu x   1 mol Cu    x   2 mol Ag    = 0.504 mol Ag

                     63.5 g Cu       1 mol Cu
