Answer:

A) An ionic compound dissolved in a polar solvent

Explanation:

Potassium Chloride's chemical formula is KCl. Most ionic compounds are formed between a nonmetal and a metal. In this case, potassium is acting as the metal and chloride is the nonmetal. Water is a polar solvent due to the electronegativity of the oxygen in the molecule creating a partial negative pole, leaving the hydrogen atoms partially positive. Hence, A is your best answer.

If I helped, a brainliest would be greatly appreciated!

Answer: In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the particles in the system stays the same

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side in a chemical reaction.

Every balanced chemical reaction follows law of conservation of mass.

For Example: Formation of water molecule

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

Total mass on reactant side = $[2(2\times 1)+(2\times 16)]=36g/mol$

Total mass on product side = $[2((2\times 1)+16)]=36g/mol$

Hence, in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the particles in the system stays the same

use the Kinetic Theory to explain the following. when you come home from school and open the door you can smell your tea being c

Answer:

Tea is getting hot on the stove.

2) As the tea and water gets hot, some combined molecules of tea and water will escape from the teapot.

3) Those escaped molecules now have the entire free space of the entire room to float around in, which they do (because they have high kinetic energy due to being heated).

4) Hence, in this scenario, your nose will detect a few of those molecules and you smell hot or warm tea.

5) Cold tea would be a different story. Cold beverages like cold tea do not have the kinetic energy where molecules can 'break free' of the surrounding container. Someone could be sitting in the room having a can or bottle of cold tea and you would not notice that when you walked in the door.
