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.

How much heat is required to evaporate a gram of water at room temperature?

Goshia [24]

First, the water must be raised to a temperature of 100 degrees - this requires 4.181 joule/(degree x gram). For example, if your "room temperature" is 20 degrees, multiply that by 8.Then you have to actually evaporate it - that costs 2260 joules/gram.

When a chemical reaction is run in aqueous solution inside a calorimeter, the temperature change of the water (and Ccal) can be

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The total change in enthalpy for the reaction is - 81533.6 J/mol

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Reaction;

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O

Where initial temperature is 21.2 °C and final temperature is 28.0 °C. Ccal is 1234.28 J

Moles of NaOH = 50.mL × 1.00 M = 50.0 mmol = 0.0500 mol

Moles of HCl = 50.mL × 1.00 M = 50.0 mmol = 0.0500 mol

so, 0.0500 moles of H₂O produced

Volume of solution = 50.mL + 50.mL = 100.0 mL

Mass of solution m = volume × density = 100.0mL × 1.0 g/mL = 100 g

now ,

Heat energy of Solution q= (mass × specific heat capacity × temp Δ) + Cal

we know that; The specific heat of water(H₂O) is 4.18 J/g°C.

so we substitute

q_soln = (100g × 4.18 × ( 28.0 °C - 21.2 °C) ) + 1234.28

q_soln = 2842.4 + 1234.28

q_soln = 4076.68 J

Enthalpy change for the neutralization is ΔH $_{neutralization}$

ΔH $_{neutralization}$ = -q_soln / mole of water produced

so we substitute

ΔH $_{neutralization}$ = -( 4076.68 J ) / 0.0500 mol

ΔH $_{neutralization}$ = - 81533.6 J/mol

Therefore, the total change in enthalpy for the reaction is - 81533.6 J/mol
