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.

The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. It is a complex system that includes many different processes. Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow.

How to Calculate the de Broglie wavelength for each of the following ? a. an electron with a velocity 10.% of the speed of light
qaws [65]
H = planks constant 
<span>m = mass of the object </span>
<span>u = velocity of the object </span>

<span>h = 6.626 * 10^-34 J/s </span>
<span>the mass of an electron is 9.12*10^-31 kg </span>
<span>10% speed of light = 10% * 3*10^8 = 3*10^7 m/s, i dont have my graphing calc with me right now so i leave the technicalities up to you </span>
