If oil and water have opposite intermolecular forces, why do they seem to mix at the border between them?

Chemistry

tigry1 [53]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The Chemistry Explanation

Oil and water don't mix because water molecules are not attracted to oil molecules. When the Alka-Selzer tablet is dropped in the oil and water, it sinks to the bottom because it is more dense than oil and more dense than the water.

Liquid does not act that a solid. how is it different from a solid and gas?
Wittaler [7]
Unlike solid matter, where particles are tightly packed and slightly vibrating, or gas, where particles go around everywhere and are extremely loose, a liquid has particles that are loosely packed but are still in slight contact with each other. Hope that's good enough

The electronegativity of C = 2.5, O = 3.5. What type of bond is between C-O? ______ ______ bond
Schach [20]

Answer:

Polar covalent bond

Explanation:

On the basis of electronegativity bond could be ionic bond, polar and non pole covalent bond.

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.  The electronegativity difference between bonded atoms is greater than 1.7.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.  There are two type of covalent bond. Polar and non polar covalent bond. When electronegativity difference is 0.4 - 1.7 bond is polar covalent bond when it is less than 0.4 the bond is non polar covalent.

For example:

In CO the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.5 and carbon is 2.5. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and carbon becomes partial positive. and bond is polar covalent.

The chemical definitions of acids and bases for Arrhenius are:
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

Arrhenius defined an acid as a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydrogen ions in aqueous solution.

A base is a substance which interacts with water to yield excess hydroxide ions, in an aqueous solution according to Arrhenius.

Bronsted-Lowry theory defined an acid as a proton donor while a base is a proton acceptor.
