Question

Identify if a compound is a salt or sugar by macroscopic observations or microscopic representations. Explain how using combinations of solutes changes solution characteristic or not Use observations to explain ways concentration of a solute can change. Describe ways the formula, macroscopic observations. Or microscopic representation of a compound indicates if the bonding is tonic or covalent.

If you are using the IE explorer browser, the dick on Run and the simulation will start If you ate using Chrome. Safari, or Firefox. you may have to download the file first You w ill need to download Java before the simulation will run. Often your computer already has java loaded, but if it won't run. it is usually because you have either an old version of Java running or Java is not loaded at all To check on this. Google Java download and follow the instructions there. If you are using the IE explorer browser, the click on Run and the simulation will suit. If you are using Chrome. Safari, or Firefox. you may have to download the file first. Click on the Macro tab and select the solute salt. Use your mouse to shake the can of NaCl. Describe what you see and draw a picture below. Identify what is the solute, the solvent and the solution. Rest and Click on the Macro tab and select the solute salt. Use your mouse to shake the can of NaCl. Describe what you see and draw a picture below. Identify what is the solute, the solvent and the solution. Reset and click on the Macro lab and select the solute sugar. Use your mouse to shake the can of sugar. Describe what you sec and draw a picture below. Identify what is the solute, the solvent and the solution. What are the primary differences in the observed salt and sugar solutions? What solvent is used in the sim? Why do you think it was chosen? What types of solutes arc u: (polar or nonpolar)? What representations or tools did you use to help you decide the "type of Solute"?

Explanation / Answer

Q1a.

if you add Nacl and water, then shake, you will see how the Nacl salt crystals dissapear, since they become ions Na+ + Cl- in solution.

solute = NAcl salt, solvent = water

solution = both, solute + solvent

Q1b.

For sugar crystals and water, after shaking, you will expect sugar to dissapear, since it will become molecular soluble.

The solution is now viscous mix.

solute = sugar

solvent = water

solution = sugar + water

Q1c.

salt --> much more soluble, since those are ionic salts, which will be ions Na+ and Cl-; typically the solution is transparent

for

sugas --> not that soluble, the mix is actually a mixture of both, you will see it more viscous/not so clear

Q1d.

polar solvents --> water, alcohols

nonpolar solvents --> organic compunds such as benzene, hexane, etc...
