What is the definition of Solvent

Chemistry
2 answers:
k0ka [10]3 years ago

The definition of solvent is "having assets in excess of liabilities; able to pay one's debts" or "able to dissolve other substances". Solvent is another way of debt-free or creditworthy. The definition of solvent is "having assets in excess of liabilities; able to pay one's debts" or "able to dissolve other substances". Solvent, in science terms, is a substance in which dissolves a liquid/solute like: a chemical of distant liquid, solid, or gas. Solvent is another way of debt-free or creditworthy. In Latin, Solvent is called "solvō" which means "I loosen, untie, I solve". "Solvent uses many chemicals using: pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries which involve chemical syntheses and purification processes."  The most common solvent is water for polar molecules.

My sources were Wikapedia and goggle.
Hope this helped! I have a definition and synonyms for "Solvent". =)

A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "I loosen, untie, I solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically distinct liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid or a gas. The quantity of solute that can dissolve in a specific volume of solvent varies with temperature. Common uses for organic solvents are in dry cleaning (e.g., tetrachloroethylene), as paint thinners (e.g., toluene, turpentine), as nail polish removers and glue solvents (acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate), in spot removers (e.g., hexane, petrol ether), in detergents (citrus terpenes) and in perfumes (ethanol). Water is a solvent for polar molecules and the most common solvent used by living things; all the ions and proteins in a cell are dissolved in water within a cell. Solvents find various applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries, including in chemical syntheses and purification processes.

How is an isotope different from the standard form of a chemical element?
velikii [3]

Answer:

  • The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.

Explanation:

A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.

For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.

Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).

That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.

  • Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.

A 1.50 L buffer solution is 0.250 M in HF and 0.250 M in NaF. Calculate the pH of the solution after the addition of 0.100 moles
alexgriva [62]

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 3.41

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of HF.

\text{Moles of HF}=\text{Concentration of HF}\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of HF}=0.250M\times 1.50L=0.375mol

Now we have to calculate the value of pK_a.

The expression used for the calculation of pK_a is,

pK_a=-\log (K_a)

Now put the value of K_a in this expression, we get:

pK_a=-\log (6.8\times 10^{-4})

pK_a=4-\log (6.8)

pK_a=3.17

The reaction will be:

                             HF+OH^-\rightleftharpoons F^-+H_2O

Initial moles     0.375     0.100   0.375

At eqm.   (0.375-0.100)      0     (0.375+0.100)

                     = 0.275                    = 0.475

Now we have to calculate the pH of solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[F^-]}{[HF]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

pH=3.17+\log [\frac{(\frac{0.475}{1.50})}{(\frac{0.275}{1.50})}]

pH=3.41

Thus, the pH of the solution is, 3.41
