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.

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.

Determine the enthalpy for this reaction: Al(OH)3(s)+3HCl(g)→AlCl3(s)+3H2O(l)

ivanzaharov [21]

Important information to solve the exercise :
Substance ΔHf (kJ/mol):
HCl(g)= −92.0 kJ/mol
Al(OH)3(s)= −1277.0 kJ/mol
 H2O(l)= −285.8 kJ/mol
AlCl3(s) =−705.6 kJ/mol

Al(OH)3(s)+3HCl(g)→AlCl3(s)+3H2O(l)
reactants products

products- reactants:

(−705.6) + (3 x −285.8) - ( −1277.0 ) - (3 x −92.0 ) = - 10.0 kJ per mole at 25°C

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

No you can't

Explanation:

The atomic number is the amount of protons in element's nucleus, that's one reason why. The second reason is that the atomic mass is protons and neutrons combined, their estimated value, which doesn't show how much neutrons are in an element. It does show combined, but not specifically neutrons

Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) What happens to the rate of most reactions as the reaction progresses? The rate remai

Sav [38]

Answer: -

The rate decreases as the concentration of the reactants decreases

Explanation: -

A reaction involves change of the reactants into products.

Initially there is only reactants. So the rate if reaction is high.

After some time there are products. So the amount of reactant is less.

Reactions involve collisions of reactant molecules. As the reactant amount decreases, collisions between the reactants decreases. As such the rate of reaction decreases with the progress of the reaction.
