Answer is no, oil is not soluble in water.

Reason: oils are hydrophobic, or “water fearing.” Instead of being attracted to water molecules, oil molecules are repelled by them. As a result, when you add oil to water the two don't mix with each other.
Oil does not have any polar part and so for them to dissolve in water they would have to break some of waters hydrogen bonds. Water will not do this so the oil is forced to stay separate from the water.

The compound dioxane, which is used as a solvent in various industrial processes is composed of C,H, and O atoms. Combustion of
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The correct formula of dioxane is C₄H₈O₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of dioxane= 2.23 g

mass of water = 1.802 g

mass of carbon dioxide = 4.401 g

molar mass of dioxane = 88.1 g / mol

Molecular formula of dioxane = ?

Solution:

percentage of carbon = (4.401 g/2.23 g ) × (12 /44) × 100

                                     =  (1.98 × 0.273) × 100 = 54.1

percentage of hydrogen =  (1.802 g/ 2.23 g) × (2.016 /18.016) × 100

                                         = (0.81 × 0.112) × 100 = 9.072

percentage of oxygen = 100 - (54.1 + 9.072)

                                     = 100 - 63.172 = 36.828

Now we will determine the number of grams atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

No. of gram atoms of carbon = 54.1 /12 = 4.51

No. of gram atoms of hydrogen = 9.072 / 1.008 = 9

No. of gram atoms of oxygen = 36.828 / 16 = 2.302

Atomic ratio:

    C :H :O               4.51/ 2.302    :   9 / 2.302   :  2.302 /2.302

    C :H :O                2 : 4 : 1

Molecular formula:

   Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

   n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

   empirical formula mass= 2 × 12 + 4 × 1.008  + 1 × 16

    empirical formula mass= 24+ 4.032 +16 = 44.032

                 n = 88.1 / 44.032 = 2

        Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

        Molecular formula = 2 × (C₂H₄O)

         Molecular formula = C₄H₈O₂

If an element has 10 protons and 11 neutrons and 10 electrons, which expression correctly identifies the element? Atomic numbers
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, it should be noted that atomic number (number of protons) determines element. And the element with the atomic number 10 (10 protons) is Neon. Hence, Neon-10 (₁₀Ne) is the answer.

Note that sodium has an atomic number of 11. Also, number of protons is usually equal to the number of electrons in neutral atoms, this is because the total number of positive particles (protons) must be equal to the total number of negative particles (electrons) to give a neutral atom.

The half-reaction occurring at the cathode in the balanced reaction shown below is __________?2Ag(s) + 1/2 O2(g) + 2H+(aq) → 2Ag
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Correct choice are C and D (they are both, the same).

Explanation:

Cathode is the positive(+) electrode where a reduction occurs.

Reduction is the chemical reaction where the oxidation state is reduced.

2Ag(s) + 1/2 O2(g) + 2H+(aq) → 2Ag+(aq) + H2O (l)

A. 2H2O (l) → O2 (g) + 4H+ (aq) + 4e-

B. 2Ag (s) → 2Ag+ (aq) + 2e-

C. 1/2 O2 (g) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- → H2O (l)

D. 1/2 O2 (g) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- → H2O (l)

C or D, are ok. They are the same equation.

Oxygen from ground state reduce the oxidation state from 0 to -2

A first-order decomposition reaction has a rate constant of 0.00440 yr−1. How long does it take for [reactant] to reach 12.5% of
mina [271]

Answer:

473 year

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Given:

To reach 12.5% of reactant means that 0.125 of [A_0] is decomposed. So,

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]} = 0.125

t = ?

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}

0.125=e^{-0.00440\times t}

t = 473 year
