If you crushed some rock salt and look at a sample with a hand lens what will you see?
You can see sodium chloride crystals and some impurities.
What 2 properties of sucrose distinguish it from sodium chloride?
physical or chemical? physical property: sucrose is sweet while sodium chloride is salty, sucrose is often prepared as fine, crystalline powder while sodium chloride is often prepared with larger crystals. chemical property: sucrose is made up of molecules while sodium chloride is made up of ions. sucrose when dissolved in water cannot conduct electricity because it has covalent bonds. thus there are no mobile ions or electrons to conduct electricity. sodium chloride on the other hand has mobile ions when dissolved in water. thus it can conduct electricity.
What is the second most abundant ion in seawater is?
If you mean element, that would be Hydrogen. If you mean compound, that would be Chloride. If you mean in sea salts that make up seawater, that would be Sodium. However, Chloride and Sodium go hand in hand, so Chloride gains an electron and Sodium loses one; then the two bond to create salt.
Is concentrated solution of sodium chloride poisonous to animals?
Salt can be very deadly towards animals as they predominantly cant control the amount they absorb. High doses in domestic animals such as dogs and cats can kill within a couple hours. Plants on the other hand can control what nutrients and ions they absorb therefore 'it is not bad for plants' unless they are used in vast quantities.
Why sodium chloride conduct electricity while water dont?
Sodium chloride conducts electricity in water because it is an electrolyte. This means that the compound dissociates in water created Na+ and Cl- ions. These ions allow electricity to be transfered. Water by itself on the other hand does not contain any ions so the electricity is not carried as easily.
Is mineral salt and sea salt the same?
Sea salt is derived from the evaporation of sea water. Mineral salt, on the other hand, are inorganic salts that include phosphate, calcium, chloride, sodium and potassium.
Is sodium acetate in hand warmers?
Contained inside re-usable hand warmers is a super-saturated solution of sodium acetate. When a metal disk inside is bent, it forms a nucleation site for crystals. The supersaturated solution forms a crystaline hydrate, and releases heat in the process. The solution can be reformed by heating the crystaline hydrate.
Are hand specimens of microcrystalline quartz single crystals or aggregates of crystals?
Specimens of microcrystalline quartz are aggregates of microscopic crystals
What is Avogadro's number the number of?
The number of elementary entities in a mole of the substance. The elementary entities depends on the particles making up the substance. For example, argon is made of single atoms, so a mole of argon simply contains Avogadro's number of atoms. Water, on the other hand, is made of molecules, so a mole of water contains Avogadro's number of molecules. Now each water molecule, H2O, contains 3 atoms so a mole of water contains 3xAvogadro's number of atoms. Sodium chloride, NaCl, is made of sodium and chloride ions, in a ratio of 1:1. So a mole of sodium chloride contains Avogadro's number of sodium ions, and Avogadro's number of chloride ions. A mole of sodium chloride therefore contains 2xAvogadro's number of ions in total. The number comes from the number of carbon atoms in 12g of carbon-12.
What is a hand lenses?
Its a tool used to magnify an object
What are medal compounds?
Medal compounds is not a term used in chemistry. Metal compounds on the other hand are very common. It simply means a compound containing a metal, such as iron oxide or sodium chloride.
Is it dangerous to remove your contact lenses after you sanitize you hand?
Yes it is
