Acetone major species present when dissolved in water

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alekssandra [3K]1 month ago

The compound is acetone ( CH₃-CO-CH₃)


Explanation:


1) Acetone is represented as CH₃-CO-CH₃.


2) This is a molecule formed by covalent bonds.


3) When it dissolves, compounds with covalent bonds remain as individual molecules, indicating that the primary species in the solution are the molecules themselves, which are surrounded (solvated) by water molecules.


In contrast, ionic compounds ionize. For example, when NaCl dissolves in water, it completely breaks down into ions, hence the predominant species are the ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻, rather than the NaCl formula.


This leads to the conclusion that: when acetone dissolves in water, the primary components are the acetone molecules (there is no need to mention that water molecules are in the solution, as that isn't the question's focus).

In the molecule ClF3, chlorine makes three covalent bonds. Therefore, three of its seven valence electrons need to be unpaired.
alisha [2963]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chlorine has an electron configuration of 2, 8, 7

Within the n = 3 shell, it has 7 electrons consisting of 2 in the s subshell and 5 in the p subshell. However, one of the p electrons shifts to the d orbital, altering the electronic configuration  to be as follows

3s^23p_x^23p_y^23p_z^1  = 7

3s^23p_x^23p_y^13p_z^13d_{xy}^1

These orbitals such as sp³d hybridize, creating 7 degenerate orbitals where two orbitals are filled with electron pairs and three remain singly occupied by electrons (unpaired electrons).

If two solutions with concentrations of 0.4 M sugar and 0.7 M sugar respectively are separated by a semipermeable membrane, duri
lions [2927]

Response: Water molecules migrate from the dilute to the concentrated solution

Clarification:

During osmosis, when a solution is separated by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent (commonly water) moves from the less concentrated solution, regarding solute content, through the semipermeable membrane towards the solution with a higher concentration to balance the concentration levels between the two solutions.

Thus, in this scenario, water molecules flow from the 0.4M sugar solution to the 0.7M sugar solution through the semipermeable membrane.

0.475 g H, 7.557 gS, 15.107 g O. Express your answer as a chemical formula.
lorasvet [2795]

Response:

H₂SO₄

Clarification:

Given a compound consisting of 0.475 g H, 7.557 g S, and 15.107 g O, we must compute the empirical formula by following specific steps.

Step 1: Compute the total mass of the compound

Total mass = mass H + mass S + mass O = 0.475 g + 7.557 g + 15.107 g

Total mass = 23.139 g

Step 2: Determine the percentage composition.

H: (0.475g/23.139g) × 100% = 2.05%

S: (7.557g/23.139g) × 100% = 32.66%

O: (15.107g/23.139g) × 100% = 65.29%

Step 3: Divide each percentage by the element's atomic mass

H: 2.05/1.01 = 2.03

S: 32.66/32.07 = 1.018

O: 65.29/16.00 = 4.081

Step 4: Normalize all values by the smallest one

H: 2.03/1.018 ≈ 2

S: 1.018/1.018 = 1

O: 4.081/1.018 ≈ 4

Thus, the empirical formula for the compound is H₂SO₄.
