Answer:
The solvent is the substance that dissolves solutes.
Explanation:
Solutes are the ones being dissolved. Examples could be sugar, salt, etc.
Solvents are the dissolver. Examples could be acids like HCl or water.
Answer:
Positive: a and b
Negative: c
Explanation:
The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.
When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.
But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.
Answer:
K^+ and NO3^-
Explanation:
In a balanced ionic equation, we usually see the species that react to yield the main product in the reaction.
Consider the reaction;
Pb(NO3)2(aq) +2 KI(aq) -------> PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)
The main product in this reaction is PbI2. Hence the balanced ionic equation is;
Pb^2+(aq) + 2I^-(aq) ------> PbI2(s)
Notice that K^+ and NO3^- did not participate in this reaction. All ions that are part of the molecular equation but do not participate in the ionic reaction equation are called spectator ions. Hence K^+ and NO3^- are spectator ions in this reaction as can be seen clearly above.
Explanation:
Copper(II) sulfide reacts with oxygen gas to give solid copper(II) oxide and sulfur trioxide gas.
The reaction is given as:
When 1 mol copper(II) sulfide react with 2 moles of oxygen gas it gives 1 mol of solid copper(II) oxide and 1 mol of sulfur trioxide gas
The gas formed in above reaction that is sulfur trioxide reacts with water to give sulfuric acid or hydrogen sulfate.
The reaction is given as:
1 mol of sulfur trioxide gas reacts with 1 mol of liquid water to produce 1 molo of liquid hydrogen sulfate or sulfuric acid
