Methane can be decomposed into two simpler substances: hydrogen and carbon. Therefore, methane 1. is a gas. 2. cannot be an elem

Reika [66]

Answer: 2. cannot be an element.

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper $Cu$

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: methane $CH_4$

$CH_4\rightarrow C+2H_2$

Thus as it can be decomposed into its constituent elements, it is a compound.

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.

Thus methane cannot be an element.

Which of the following mixtures may be act as a buffer solution?

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

B) HF, NaF

Explanation:

A buffer solution is made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
In this case, HF is a weak acid and NaF is the conjugate base, therefore the mixture of HF, and NaF would make a perfect buffer solution.
The buffer would have the weak acid HF and its conjugate base, F- which comes from the soluble salt NaF.

Van dar waals are the dominant molecular force in the sodium chloride.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Recall the two conceptual steps necessary to dissolve a solute and form a solution

Key Points

There are two conceptual steps to form a solution, each corresponding to one of the two opposing forces that dictate solubility.

The first conceptual step is dissolution, which corresponds to the force of the solvent-solvent and solute-solute intermolecular attractions that needs to be broken down.

The second conceptual step is solvation, which corresponds to the force of the solute-solvent intermolecular attraction that needs to be formed in order to form a solution.

Many intermolecular forces can contribute to solvation, including hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole forces, Van Der Waals forces, and ion-dipole interactions.

Term

intermolecular forcesattractive and repulsive forces between molecules

The strength of the intermolecular forces between solutes and solvents determines the solubility of a given solute in a given solvent. In order to form a solution, the solute must be surrounded, or solvated, by the solvent. Solutes successfully dissolve into solvents when solute-solvent bonds are stronger than either solute-solute bonds or solvent-solvent bonds.

Qualitatively, one can determine the solubility of a solute in a solvent by using the rule “like dissolves like”. In general, solutes whose polarity matches that of the solvent will generally be soluble. For example, table salt (NaCl) dissolves easily into water (H2O) because both molecules are polar.

Intermolecular Forces and Their Importance in Solution Formation

There are two conceptual steps to form a solution, each corresponding to one of the two opposing forces that dictate solubility. If the solute is a solid or liquid, it must first be dispersed — that is, its molecular units must be pulled apart. This requires energy, and so this step always works against solution formation (always endothermic, or requires that energy be put into the system).
