Why white phosphorus does not react with water?
These two most common forms of the element Phosphorus react differently because they are bonded differently. White phosphorus is structured as individual molecules of 4 atoms bonded together to form a tetrahedron. The P4 rings are held to each other by physical bonding (like other molecular substances) but no chemical bonding. These P4 rings are an unstable arrangement which makes the white phosphorus extremely reactive. Red phosphorus also has groups of 4 atoms, but they are not rings. One side is open, which allows each P4 group to chemically bond to a neighboring group, so that a huge amorphous network is formed instead of individual molecules. This is a relatively stable arrangement which makes the red phosphorus less reactive.
When a substance doesnt dissolve in water what is it said to be?
This substance is insoluble in water.
What is the only biogeochemical cycle which does not pass through the atmosphere?
Phosphorus. "Unlike many other biogeochemical cycles, the atmosphere does not play a significant role in the movement of phosphorus, because phosphorus and phosphorus-based compounds are usually solids at the typical ranges of temperature and pressure found on Earth." - However, phosphorus WILL cycle through organisms and water. Water does (evaporation and precipitation both include the atmosphere). Carbon does (carbon dioxide is the third most common substance in the atmosphere). Nitrogen does (nitrogen makes up most of the atmosphere; Nitrogen-fixers depend on this fact).
What is the product when calcium carbonate is added to water?
In general, Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water.However, if the water has Carbon dioxide (CO2) in it, Calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2) will be created.
Is silver oxide ionic?
No. AgCl is insoluble in water. It forms a solid precipitate.
Is phosphoric acid soluble in ethers?
Sulphur is insoluble in water but soluble in carbon disulphide.
Why sulfur is soluble in carbon disulphide but not in water?
SOLUBILITY OF SULPHUR IN CARBON DISULPHIDE:Because carbon disulphide and sulphur both are non polar molecules therefore, sulphur is soluble in carbon disulphide while water is a polar molecule and not allow sulphur to dissolve
Is water lighter than carbon disulphide?
no,it is heavier than water and so it'll sink
Is PCl3 and water a soluble insoluble miscible or imiscible?
Phosphorus trichloride is hydrolized in water.
Is calcium carbon trioxide soluble in water?
No, it is insoluble in water
Which element occur in compounds that are insoluble in water?
Many organic compounds are insoluble in water. They have carbon and hydrogen as elements.
Is carbon disulphide denser than water?
Density carbon disulphide (as liquid) varies from 1.2927 g/cm3 (0 °C) to 1.266 g/cm3 (25 °C) so it is more than 25% denser than water. Remember it is very volatile.
What is iodine soluble in?
Iodine is highly soluble in water. It is also soluble in iodine solutions, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and carbon disulphide among others.
What is iodine solubility?
Iodine is highly soluble in water. It is also soluble in iodine solutions, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and carbon disulphide among others.
Is water a solution then what is its characteristics?
Water isn't a solution it's a liquid, a soltion refers to soulte dissolved in a solvent E.G. NaCl(aq) this is a soltion of sodium chloride in water, water is the solvent NaCl is the solute. This is an ionic example. E.G. 2 Phosphorus in carbon disulphide - P4 is the solute, CS2 is the solvent - this is a covalent example
What is different about the phosphorus cycle compared to the water carbon and nitrogen cycles?
The atmosphere is not involved in the phosphorus cycle.
What is different about the phosphorus cycle as compared to the water carbon nitrogen cycles?
The atmosphere is not involved in the phosphorus cycle.
