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.

Answer:

  2Ba₃(PO₄)₂ +6SiO₂ ⇒ P₄O₁₀ +6BaSiO₃

Explanation:

Equating coefficients, you get ...

  aBa₃(PO₄)₂ +bSiO₂ ⇒ cP₄O₁₀ +dBaSiO₃

For Ba: 3a = d

For P: 2a = 4c

For O: 8a +2b = 10c +3d

For Si: b = d

__

Expressing everything in terms of b and c, we get ...

  d = b

  a = b/3 = 2c

From the second, b = 6c, so we have ...

  a = 2c

  b = 6c

  c = c

  d = 6c

And we can write the equation with c=1 as ...

  2Ba₃(PO₄)₂ +6SiO₂ ⇒ P₄O₁₀ +6BaSiO₃

A swimming-pool worker wants the pool's pH to be 7.2. She comes by to test the water and finds that the pH is 6.2. What should s
vichka [17]
The swimming pools pH is below 7, meaning it is slightly acidic. If you want to make the pH higher, you must add a base which by definition has a pH higher than 7.

How many moless is 4.91x10^22 molecules of H3PO4?
Lynna [10]
1 mol = 6.023x10^23 number of molecules (Avogadro's number)

1 : 6.023x10^23
X : 4.91x10^22

(6.023x10^23)X = 4.91x10^22

X = 4.91x10^22/6.023x10^23

X = 0.082 Moles
