Answer:
CaCO3(aq) → Ca2+(aq ) + CO3 2-(aq)
Explanation:
- Dissolution reactions are reactions that occur when a solute either in gaseous, liquid, or solid form dissolves in a solvent such as water to form a solution.
- In this case we are given Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which undergoes dissolution according to the equation;
- CaCO3(aq) → Ca2+(aq ) + CO3 2-(aq)
- Then<em><u> the bicarbonate ion combines with two protons from water to form a weak acid H2CO3. The weak acid is then broken down to form CO2 and H2O since its unstable.</u></em>
A and C are incorrect because they are not complete transfer of valence electrons. Ionic bonds best to form a neutral molecule
Answer:
Mole fraction H₂O → 0.72
Mole fraction C₂H₅OH → 0.28
Explanation:
By the mass of the two elements in the solution, we determine the moles of each:
25 g . 1 mol/ 18g = 1.39 moles of water (solute)
25 g . 1 mol / 46 g = 0.543 moles of ethanol (solvent)
Mole fraction solute = Moles of solute / Total moles
Mole fraction solvent = Moles of solvent / Total moles
Total moles = Moles of solute + Moles of solvent
1.39 moles of solute + 0.543 moles of solvent = 1.933 moles → Total moles
Mole fraction H₂O = 1.39 / 1.933 → 0.72
Mole fraction C₂H₅OH= 0.543 / 1.933 → 0.28
Remember that sum of mole fractions = 1
