Answer:
Water is a polar molecule
Explanation:
The general solubility rule is that like dissolves like. In short, polar solutes would dissolve in polar solvents. Non polar solutes also dissolves on non polar solvents.
NaCl is an ionic molecule which forms as a result of transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The transfer of electrons makes the atoms oppositely a charged ions and they become polar.
Water is made up of Hydrogen H⁺ ions and hydroxy ions OH⁻. Water is an heteronuclear covalent molecule. Here, there is an unequal sharing of electrons as one atom pulls the shared electron more closer. This leaves a partial negative charge on the more electronegative atom and a partial positive charge on the other.
This polar nature of water NaCl makes dissolution easy.
Answer:
The entropy change is 45.2 kJ/K.
Explanation:
mass of water at 100 C = 2 kg
Latent heat of vaporization, L = 2260 kJ/kg
Heat is
H = m L
H = 2 x 2260 = 4520 kJ
Entropy is given by
S = H/T = 4520/100 = 45.2 kJ/K
An ion is created by the transfer of electrons. The metals give away the elections and become positively charged. The non - metals take on electrons.
Balance.
So an ion is any atom that either gives away or takes on electrons.
