In an aqueous solution of lithium chloride (LiCl), the ions present in solution are lithium cations (Li+) and chloride anions (Cl-), and the water molecules (H2O).
Lithium chloride is an ionic salt, and therefore, fully dissociates or ionizes upon dissolution in water. From the chemical formula of lithium chloride, we can say that 1 lithium ion (positively-charged) only needs 1 chloride ion (negatively charged) to form the salt. Thus, upon dissociation of 1 molecule of LiCl, only 1 lithium ion, and 1 chloride ion form.
Water is a molecule formed by covalent bonds and <u>generally</u>, does not dissociate to form ions. However, if we consider the very minor contribution of the dissociation of water, hydroxide (OH-) ions and hydronium (H3O+) ions will also be present. However for water, very few molecules, only 1 in 550 million, are dissociated at any given time. Thus, we can consider the presence of the OH- and H3O+ ions to be negligible and just identify the molecular undissociated form of water to be present.
Answer:
The pH scale is used to rank solutions in terms of how acidic or how basic they are. ... This pH value of 7 is important because it indicates a neutral solution. All other substances are compared to this neutral point. Any solution that has a pH of less than 7 is considered acidic, and anything above a pH of 7 is basic.
Explanation:
In plants, a new cell wall is fashioned between the new daughter cells
Animal cell membranes constricts to pinch the parent cell into the daughter cells
Answer:
This great difference can be explained by the fact that the methane molecule is not polar due to its tetrahedral shape, they are not strongly attracted to each other. On the other hand, the ammonia molecule has a polar characteristic, having a greater attraction for each other. Thus, more energy is needed to separate the ammonia molecules and change the ammonia to a gas than to separate the methane molecules.
