When sodium is dissolved in water, why is it that the water molecules orient themselves such that their oxygen atoms are facing

the sodium? Be specific.​

NikAS [45]3 years ago

Answer: water molecules are polar and Os are slightly negative. Na loses its electron to the nearest H and so is positive. The overall reaction is that the single electron of Na attaches to a H, breaking the bond with O. This leaves Na+ and the OH- ions in solution, while the H atoms form H2 and are released as gas.

Temka [501]
Atoms are the smallest form of the substance. examples of atoms are in elemental forms such as copper, helium, silver. Diatomic molecules are made up of identical atoms. Examples are I2.. F2 and Br2. Formula units are those compounds that are made up of two or more elements such as -No2, KMnO4,<span>C3H8, MgCl2, HgBr2, Ba(OH)2</span>

A student plans to use a density versus solution concentration standard curve to identify the sodium chloride concentration in a
Art [367]

Answer:

a. 0.50 g, 1.0 g, 1.5 g, 2.0 g, 2.5 g;

g. 0.1 g, 0.5 g, 1.0 g, 1.5 g, 2.0 g

Explanation:

The percent mass is defined as a ratio between the mass of a solute and mass of a solution:

\omega = \frac{m_{solute}}{m_{solution}}\cdot 100\%

Since solution only consists of a solute and solvent, express its mass as:

m_{solution} = m_{solute} + m_{solvent}

Then:

\omega = \frac{m_{solute}}{m_{solution}}\cdot 100\%=\frac{m_{solute}}{m_{solute} + m_{solvent}}

Firstly, solve for how much mass is required to prepare 3.0 %. Let's say, we have x g of the solute:

0.03 = \frac{x}{30.0 + x}\therefore x = 0.03(30.0 + x)

x = 0.90 + 0.03x

0.97x = 0.90\therefore x = 0.93 g

Similarly, solve for 6.0 %, let's say, we have x g of the solute again:

0.06 = \frac{x}{30.0 + x}\therefore x = 0.06(30.0 + x)

x = 1.80 + 0.06x

0.94x = 1.80\therefore x = 1.91 g

Hence, masses should be in a range of 0.93 g to 1.91 g.
