Why does increasing the temperature make a solid dissolve faster?

Chemistry

1 answer:

Deffense [45]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

The chemical bonds of the solid are broken faster.

Explanation:

As the temperature of a solution is increased, the average kinetic energy of the molecules that make up the solution also increases. The increased vibration (kinetic energy) of the solute molecules causes them to be less able to hold together, and thus they dissolve more readily.

Explain why mineral oil which is a mixture of hydrocarbons does not dissolve in water

Mkey [24]

Oil molecules like to stick to other oil molecules more than they like to stick to water molecules. This is because mineral oil has nonpolar molecules and water has polar ones.

Which of the following represents positron emission? Select one: a. 3015P ---> 3014Si + ___ b. 23892U ---> 23490Th + ___ c

xxTIMURxx [149]

The simple trick which one can consider in such problem where it is asked for positron emission is :
<span>When the atomic number goes DOWN by one and mass number remains unchanged, then a positron is emitted.
</span>
<span>a. </span> $P^{30}_{15} ----\ \textgreater \ Si^{30}_{14} + e^{0}_{1}^+$
<span>
Here the atomic number decreases by one.

Similarly, options b and d are eliminated.

Option c is also not the answer.
For c, Count the atomic number on left side and compare it with right side. You will see it is 9 on left and 8 on right. Atomic no. did go down by 1. But the atomic mass is changed as well.

A recessive gene is described as one that

djyliett [7]

Answer:

<h2>C) may be hidden </h2>

Explanation:

A gene is a unit of heredity which is transferred from parents to offspring and it control the traits.

Alternative form of gene are known as alleles.

Gene may be dominant or recessive

Dominant gene expresses in both homozygous as well as in heterozygous condition, while recessive gene expresses in homozygous condition only, when it present with dominant gene, its effect is hidden by dominant gene. Dominant gene is represented by capital letter while recessive gene is represented by small letter.

A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that contains Cu(s) and Cu2+(aq). W

Agata [3.3K]

Answer : The 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Explanation :

Galvanic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the galvanic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

We are taking the value of standard reduction potential form the standard table.

$E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.80V$

$E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V$

In this cell, the component that has lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that is added to the anode electrode. The second forms the cathode electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (Anode) : $Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (Cathode) : $Ag^{+}(aq)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)$

Thus the overall reaction will be,

$Cu(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)$

From this we conclude that, 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Hence, the 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.
