Answer:

Water is a polar solvent

Explanation:

We must know that pure dry hydrogen chloride gas does not show any acidic property.

In fact, when hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water, it breaks up into H3O^+ ions and Cl^- ions. This is possible because water is a polar solvent and assists the ionization of HCl.

In nonpolar solvents such as benzene, hydrogen chloride gas is not ionized hence it does not show any acidic property in a benzene solution.

How many grams of silver chromate, Ag2CrO4, are produced from 57.7
Anastasy [175]
48.3 g AgNO3 / 169.9 g/mol = 0.284 moles AgNO3
0.284 mol AgNO3 X (1 mol Ag2CrO4/2 mol AgNO3) = 0.142 mol Ag2CrO4
0.142 mol Ag2CrO4 X 331.7 g/mol = 47.1 g Ag2CrO4
