how many 1/2 teaspoons of salt will dissolve in 1/2 cup room temp. water and how many in boiling water and why?

Solutions

Expert Solution

In general, 1/2 cup is 100 mL and maximum amount of salt (considering NaCl) dissolved in 100mL water is 36 gram at room temperature. One teaspoon is equal to 5 gram of NaCl, meaning 7.2 teaspoons of NaCl maximally can be dissolved in water at the room temperature.

At boiling water (100 oC) solubility of NaCl is arround 38.99 g in 100 mL water (arround 7.8 teaspoon of salt).

Intermolecular forces are those forces that hold molecules together as solids and liquids. The cations and anions of an ionic compound are held together in the solid state by complexing with many ions of the opposite charge. Hydrogen bonding gives water many of its extraordinary properties and salts dissolve in water because their charges line up with the partial charges on water. Water molecules surround each ion, resulting in a three dimensional “solvent cage” around the charged particle. The heating energy helps in dissociation of opposite charges.

A cup of coffee is made with boiling water at 100 and stands in a room where the temperature is 25. The change in temperature, H in degrees , with respect to time t, in minutes, is given by the following differential equation. (dH)/(dt)=-k(H-25) Solve this differential equation. If the coffee cools to 90 in 3 minutes, how long will it take to cool to 60 degrees? Round your answer to the nearest integer.

Water is boiled in a cup and its placed in a room that is 25 degrees Celsius. Assume that Newton's Law of Cooling is satisfied: the rate of change in water temperature is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the environment. We take the water temperature after 7 minutes and find it to be 77 degrees Celsius. Establish and solve an initial value problem to express the temperature of the water as...
