Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A substance is only soluble in water if it is composed of ions or polar groups which are capable of interaction with water.

Salt is composed of ions which are easily solvated by the dipoles of water molecule. Sucrose is composed of polar groups capable of interaction with water. This accounts for the solubility of sucrose (sugar) in water. Sugar is a covalent molecule but is composed of polar groups while salt is composed of ionic bonds.

Hence salt and sugar are both soluble in water for the reasons described above.

enyata [817]

Answer:

The rate of decay of atoms in container A is greater than the rate of decay of atoms in container B.

Explanation:

From the question,

Container A contains 1000 atoms

Container B contains 500 atoms

<u>The rate of decay of atoms in container A is greater than the rate of decay of atoms in container B.</u>

The reason for such is due to the difference in the concentration of the isotopes. Container A which contains higher number of atoms will have the more changes of the release of the neutron as the changes of the hitting and splitting increases as the density of the atoms increases.

<u>Thus, the atoms in the container A will therefore decay faster than the atoms in the container B. </u>

Describe what happens to the molecules in the ice as temperature of the ice increases
german

Answer:

When you heat ice, the individual molecules gain kinetic energy, but until the temperature reaches the melting point, they don't have energy to break the bonds that hold them in a crystal structure. They vibrate more quickly within their confines as you add heat, and the temperature of the ice goes up.

3. When the hydronium ion concentration of a solution is 1x10-4 M, What
rewona [7]

Answer:

pH = 4

Solution is acidic

Explanation:

Given data;

Hydronium ion concentration = 1 × 10⁻⁴ M

pH of solution = ?

Solution:

pH = -log [H₃O⁺]

pH = -log [ 1 × 10⁻⁴ ]

pH =  4

According to pH scale the pH 7 is neutral while the pH less than 7 is acidic and greater than 7 is basic. The given solution has pH 4 it means solution is acidic.
