Answer:

c solvents dissolve chemicals with the same polarity ( ex. both are polar)

Explanation:

Like dissolves like is one of the central rule that guides the solubility of one substance in another.

It fully suggests substance having the same nature as in polarity-wise will dissolve one another.
For example, water is a polar liquid, it will dissolve table salt because it i also polar.
Water cannot dissolve oil because oil is non-polar.

You make a solution by putting 45.6g of iron lll carbonate into 167ml of water. What is it's molarity?

ludmilkaskok [199]

1. The molar mass of Fe2(CO3)3 is 291.72 g/mol. This means that 45.6 g is equivalent to 0.156 mol. Dividing by the 0.167 L of water gives a solution of 0.936 M.
2. Multiplying (0.672 M)(0.025 L) = 0.0168 mol. The molar mass of Ni(OH)2 is 92.71 g/mol, so multiplying by 0.0168 mol = 1.56 grams. Therefore you would need to dissolved 1.56 g of Ni(OH)2 into 25 mL of water.
3. Fe2(CO3)3 + Ni(OH)2 --> Fe(OH)3 + NiCO3Balancing: Fe2(CO3)3 + 3Ni(OH)2 --> 2Fe(OH)3 + 3NiCO3The reaction quotient is:[Fe(OH)3]^2 * [NiCO3]^3 / [Fe2(CO3)3][Ni(OH)2]^3= (0.05)^2 * (1.45)^3 / (0.936)(0.672)^3= 0.0268Since this is < 1, it implies that the reactants are favored at equilibrium.

Select a system in the human body and explain how a breakdown in the digestive system might affect the system you just chose.\

Citrus2011 [14]

The circulatory system works with the digestive system. Once the food is digested, the circulatory systems absorb and uses the nutrients in the food. If the digestive system were to break down, the circulatory will not have the nutrients it needs to sufficiently run the body.

Is h2c2o4 an Arrhenius base or arrhenius acid

maksim [4K]

Answer:
Oxalic Acid is and Arrhenius Acid.

Explanation:
According to Arrhenius Theory of acid and base, "Acid is any substance which when dissolved in water produces H⁺ Ions".

Therefore, Oxalic Acid is a diprotic substance, which is capable of donating protons in water. This acidity of oxalic acid can be dedicated to the stability of conjugate base, this stability comes from resonance of the negative charges on Oxalate ion. Below reaction shows the dissociation of Oxalic Acid into Protons and Oxalate Ion.
