Answer:

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

Explanation:

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

When a hydrochloric acid solution is combined with a potassium hydroxide solution, an acid-base reaction occurs. write a balance

Verizon [17]

Answer:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇒ KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is an acid because it releases H⁺ in an aqueous solution.

Potassium hydroxide is a base because it releases OH⁻ in an aqueous solution.

When an acid reacts with a base they form a salt and water. This is a neutralization reaction. The neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide is:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇒ KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

Consider the neutralization reaction 2 HNO 3 ( aq ) + Ba ( OH ) 2 ( aq ) ⟶ 2 H 2 O ( l ) + Ba ( NO 3 ) 2 ( aq ) A 0.120 L sample

k0ka [10]

Answer:

The concentration of the HNO3 solution is 0.150 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the unknown HNO3 sample = 0.120 L

Volume of the 0.200 M Ba(OH)2 = 45.1 mL

Step 2: The balanced equation

2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 ⟶ Ba(NO3)2 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles Ba(OH)2

moles Ba(OH)2 = molarity * volume

moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.200 M * 0.0451 L

moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.00902 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of HNO3

For 1 mole of Ba(OH)2 we need 2 moles of HNO3

For 0.00902 moles of Ba(OH)2 we need 2*0.00902 = 0.01804 moles

Step 5: Calculate molarity of HNO3

molarity = moles / volume

molarity = 0.01804 / 0.120 L

Molarity = 0.150 M HNO3

The concentration of the HNO3 solution is 0.150 M

All atoms of an element have the same number of ________. electrons neutrons protons protons plus neutrons

Cloud [144]

Answer:

protons

Explanation:

An element, by definition, always has the same number of protons. Sodium, element 11, has 11 protons. Anything with 11 protons is a sodium atom, regardless of the number of neutrons, electrons, or politicians.

Explain how a cold compress used by

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: A cold compress used by athletes is an endothermic reaction.

Explanation:

A pack of cold compress used by athletes contains water that holds another bag or tube inside it which is filled with ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

So, on hitting the cold compress the tube breaks down due to which fertilizer gets mixed with water. This mixture absorbs the heat when placed on the area of body having pain, strain or bump.

As a result, we tend to feel cold at the affected area of our body.

Thus, we can conclude that a cold compress used by athletes is an endothermic reaction.
