When a solid melts, why does it absorb energy?

1 answer:

5 0

In order for the molecules to actually separate from each other, more energy must be added. This energy, called heat of fusion or heat of melting, is absorbed by the particles as potential energy as the solid changes to a liquid. I hope this helps

CH3OCH3 (ether) will dissolve in water because

dangina [55]

Answer:

a. polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents.

Explanation:

Polarity is a phenomenon that has to do with the positive and negative electric (ionic) charges of a molecule. A molecule with distinct positive and electric charge is said to be POLAR. However, water is said to be a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other solvent can.

This solvent property of water is a function of its POLARITY. Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents. Hence, only polar solutes can dissolve in water (a polar solvent). Hence, in this case, CH3OCH3 (ether) will dissolve in water because it is a POLAR molecule/solute.

Write the net cell equation for this electrochemical cell. Phases are optional. Do not include the concentrations. Co ( s ) ∣ ∣

Tatiana [17]

Answer: The overall equation will be $Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)$

Explanation:

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Anode : $Co(s)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+2e^{-}$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Cathode : $Ag^+(aq)+e^{-1}\rightarrow Ag(s)$ $\times 2$

The number of electrons lost must be equal to the number of electrons gained , thus overall equation will be :

$Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)$
