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!

When dissolved in water, a neutral molecule of calcium chloride dissociates into three ions - one calcium ion and two chloride i

Mashcka [7]

Explanation:

Calcium chloride is an ionic compound as it is formed by transfer of an electron to each chlorine atom.

So, being an ionic compound calcium chloride is able to dissociate completely into water.

Hence, the dissociation reaction will be as follows.

$CaCl_{2}(s) \rightarrow Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2Cl^{-}(aq)$

Since, two electrons has been lost by single calcium atom. Therefore, calcium atom will have a charge of +2.

Thus, we can conclude that the charge on the calcium ion, in elementary units is +2.

A sample of barium nitrate is placed into a jar containing water. The mass of the barium nitrate sample is 27g. Assume the water

34kurt

So we have Barium nitrate with a solubility of 8.7g in 100g water at 20°C.

using that relation
i.e.
8.7g (barium nitrate) =100g (water)
1g barium nitrate = 100/8.7 g water

27g barium nitrate = (100/ 8.7 ) × 27
= 310.34 g

therefore,
you need 310.34g of water is in the jar.

A 3.0 g sample of a gas occupies a volume of 1.00L at 100C and 740 torr pressure. The molecular weight of the

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

94.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Ideal Gases Law can useful to solve this

P . V = n . R . T

We need to make some conversions

740 Torr . 1 atm/ 760 Torr = 0.974 atm

100°C + 273 = 373K

Let's replace the values

0.974 atm . 1 L = n . 0.082 L.atm/ mol.K . 373K

n will determine the number of moles

(0.974 atm . 1 L) / (0.082 L.atm/ mol.K . 373K)

n = 0.032 moles

This amount is the weigh for 3 g of gas. How many grams does 1 mol weighs?

Molecular weight → g/mol → 3 g/0.032 moles = 94.2 g/mol

Organic acids and bases in their ___________ form are soluble in organic solvents, but the corresponding _________ are more wate

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

a. neutral

b. salts

c. salt

Explanation:

Organic salts are a dense number of ionic compounds with innumerable characteristics. They are previously derived from an organic compound, which has undergone a transformation that allows it to be a carrier of a charge, and that in addition, its chemical identity depends on the associated ion.

Organic salts are usually stronger acids or bases than inorganic salts. This is because, for example, in the amine salts, it has a positive charge due to its bond with an additional hydrogen: A + -H. Then, in contact with a base, donate the proton to be a neutral compound again

RA + H + B => RA + HB

H belongs to A, but it is written as it is involved in the neutralization reaction.

On the other hand, RA + can be a large molecule, unable to form solids with a crystalline network stable enough with the hydroxyl anion or oxyhydrile OH–.

When this is so, salt RA + OH– behaves as a strong base; even as basic as NaOH or KOH
