NaCl is an ionic compound. The intermolecular attraction between this ionic ompound and the dipole forces between the water molecules is strong enough to tear ions from the surface of the ionique compound, in this case NaCl. The positive pole (H+) attracts the Cl- ion, and the O- pole attracts the Na+ ions. this process, called hydration, forces the ionic compound's ions to dissolve in water and disperse.

Is lithium chloride aqueous?

Yes, lithium chloride can dissolve in water to form an aqueous solution.


Why is soap solution is saturated with naci?

The NaCl does not dissolve completely in the soap solution because the solution is saturated, meaning it has reached its maximum capacity to dissolve more NaCl. Any additional NaCl added will not dissolve and will remain as a solid in the solution.


An aqueous solution is a solution in which some ionic solutes dissolve in water or is it some molecular solutes dissolve in water?

An aqueous solution is a solution where ionic solutes dissolve in water to form ions. Ionic compounds dissociate into their constituent ions when dissolved in water due to water's ability to stabilize and solvate ions.


How do you dissolve ionic compounds?

By placing them in Water. This is called an aqueous solution.

Is carbon dioxide a aqueous solution?

No, carbon dioxide is a gas at room temperature and pressure and does not dissolve readily in water to form an aqueous solution. However, carbon dioxide can react with water to form carbonic acid, which is a weak acid and can exist in an aqueous solution.


Is 2 NaPO4 aqueous?

No. While sodium acetate will form an aqueous solution, the pure substance is not aqueous. If you want to annotate that it is aqueous in a chemical formula, you follow the substance with (aq) in this manner: NaC2H3O2 (aq)


Is mgOh aqueous?

Yes, magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is sparingly soluble in water, meaning it does dissolve to form an aqueous solution. However, it is only slightly soluble, so not all of it will dissolve completely in water.


What metals will not dissolve in an aqueous solution containing nickel ions?

POSSIBLE ANSWER: nickel (Ni) EXPLANATION: all metals dissolve in water more or less and there is an equilibrium point at which the dissolving rate and the condensing rate are the same. If the solution already has enough nickel ions (in other words it is a saturated solution), then the solid nickel you put in will not dissolve.


What is an acqueous solution?

An aqueous solution is a solution in which water is the solvent. Substances can dissolve in water to form an aqueous solution due to the polarity of water molecules. Common examples include salt dissolved in water and sugar dissolved in water.


Water is a solvent in a(n) what solution?

'An Aqueous' solution. NB The word 'aqueous' comes from Latin ; 'aqua' meaning 'water'.
