Answer:

  • In general, polar solutes are most soluble in highly polar solvents.

Explanation:

The general rule is "like dissolves like" which means that <em>polar solvents </em>dissolve polar (or ionic) <em>solutes</em> and <em>non-polar solvents</em> dissolve non-polar solutes.

In order for a solvent dissolve a solute, the strength of the interacttion (force) between the solute and the solvent units (atoms, molecules, or ions) must be stronger than the strength of the forces that keep together he particles of the pure substances (known as intermolecular forces).

Since the nature of the interactions between the units are electrostatic, the more polar is the solvent the better it will be able to attract and surround the solute particles, keeping them separated and in solution. That mechanism explains why polar solutes will be most soluble in highly polar solvents.

A gas has a volume of 490. mL at a temperature of -35.0 degrees C. What volume would the gas occupy at 42.0 degrees Celsius? Ple
miskamm [114]

Answer:

648.5 mL

Explanation:

Here we will assume that the pressure of the gas is constant, since it is not given or specified.

Therefore, we can use Charle's law, which states that:

"For an ideal gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically:

\frac{V}{T}=const.

where

V is the volume of the gas

T is its absolute temperature

The equation can be rewritten as

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where in this problem we have:

V_1=490 mL is the initial volume of the gas

T_1=-35.0^{\circ} + 273 = 238 K is the initial temperature

T_2=42.0^{\circ}+273=315 K is the final temperature

Solving for V2, we find the final volume of the gas:

V_2=\frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(490)(315)}{238}=648.5 mL

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The web page of a university

Explanation:

A scientist can be more biased within coming to information about pretty much anything. I have had multiple science teachers who seem more biased on to something else and pretend that they're right just cause they know what they are doing.

Then the university would be a great choice because its controlled by a higher state, then also the consistency of being updated.

If an atom has 3 protons, what is its atomic number?
Andru [333]

Answer:

Atomic Number = 3.

Explanation:

The number of protons determines the atomic number. Basically the number of protons is the exact same as the atomic number.

Protons 3 = Atomic number 3
