This figure shows the interaction of a cation with surrounding water molecules.

Would you expect the energy of ion–solvent interaction to be greater for Na+ or Li+? Explain.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ion-solvent interactions inversely proportion al to the size of the ion. I.e. smaller is the ion greater is the force of attraction between solvent molecules and ion. Hence more solvent molecules are surrounded by the ion.

The radius of Na+ > Li+.

The energy released when one mole of particular ions are sur rounded by water molecules is called hydration enthalpy ΔHhyd.

The value of ΔHhyd for Li+ is more than that of Na+ ion.

Figure 18.57 shows an electron passing between two charged metal plates that create an 100 N/C vertical electric field perpendicular to the electron's original horizontal velocity. (These can be used to change the electron's direction, such as in an oscilloscope.) The initial speed of the electron is 3.00×106 m/s , and the horizontal distance it travels in the uniform field is 4.00 cm. (a) What is its vertical deflection? (b) What is the vertical component of its final velocity? (c)...

Sea cucumbers (see figure) are classic hydrostats- cylindrical in shape with a body wall surrounding a constant volume of water. Many sea cucumber species crawl along the substrate using peristaltic locomotion (waves of alternating muscle contraction) while some species burrow into the substrate, which requires force to displace sediment. How might (a) the fiber angle of the collagenous body wall and (b) the initial shape of the animal correlate with peristaltic locomotion versus burrowing?

Compounds and molecules such as LiOH will ionize partially when dissolved in water/solution. Compounds and molecules such as C6H12O6 (sugar)will not conduct electricity when dissolved in water/solution. Compounds and molecules such as C4H3 (butane) will ionize completely when dissolved in water/solution. Compounds and molecules such as NH3 will conduct electricity when dissolved in water/solution. Which are true? Please explain why.
