1. Determine if the ionic substances can break apart into ions.
- e.g. CaCO3 isn't very soluble, do it can't dissolve and dissociate. If it can't pop apart, no ions.
2. Swap the partners for all the other ions that you can get from step 1. You can skip pairings with the same charge - a + can't get close to another + to react.
3. Use solubility, acid/base, and redox rules to see if anything will happen with the ions in solution.<span />
Answer:
The number of years it would take you to earn what Mike Trout will earn on his contract is 4,265
Explanation:
Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels has a contract worth $426,500,000
On the other side, you earn $100,000 per year.
To calculate the number of years it would take for you to earn what Mike Trout will earn from his contract, you must divide the amount Mike earned by the amount you earned during a year:
$426,500,000 ÷ $100,000 per year= 4,265
The number of years it would take you to earn what Mike Trout will earn on his contract is 4,265
The key to most "how do I separate." questions is solubility.
The trick is to add a liquid that will only dissolve one substance but not another.
Let's say you had a beaker full of sand, table salt (NaCl), and acetanilide. Is there anything you can add that would only dissolve one of these three substances?
Yes, there is! Acetanilide like most organic compounds, isn't soluble in water. But salt is soluble in water. So to the mixture, I would add water, and then pass the water through a filter. The filter paper will "catch" the sand and acetanilide, but the table salt will remain dissolved in the water. If you then let that water evaporate (either via boiling or under vacuum), you will recover your salt.
So now, how to do you separate the sand from the acetanilide? Sand isn't really soluble in anything, but acetanilide is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol. So to the mixture of sand and acetanilide, add ethanol, and pass it through a filter. The sand will once again get stuck in the filter paper, and your acetanilide will be dissolved in ethanol. Remove the ethanol (via vacuum, or rotovap) and you will be left with acetanilide.
Correct answer: C) dispersion forces
Dispersion forces are the intermolecular forces of attraction present in all types of molecules. These are the weakest forces of attraction in which atoms of the molecule align in such a way that weak forces of attraction develop between electron cloud of one atom and the positively charged nucleus of the adjacent atom. This is referred to as induced dipole-induced dipole type of interaction. Therefore in dispersion forces temporary dipoles are developed due to constant motion of electrons that results in asymmetric electron distribution around the nucleus in an atom.
