CH3CH2MgBr is more soluble in diethyl ether .

We know that polar solvent dissolve in polar solvent very perfectly . as diethyl ether is a polar solvent so it have dipole -dipole interaction .

Hence the compound with similar interaction can dissolve in diethyl ether .

Here , MgBr2 is an ionic compound . there is ion-ion interactions occurs which is not similar to dipole -dipole interaction in diethyl ether .hence the solubility of MgBr2 in diethyl ether is less .

but in case of CH3CH2MgBr there are both polar and nonpolar end .CH3CH2 is the nonpolar end and MgBr is the polar end .

thus with the nonpolar end solute interact using depression forces and with polar end solute interact using dipole-dipole interaction . so CH3CH2MgBr is more soluble .

A two-liter soft drink bottle can withstand apressure of

larisa86 [58]

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT.

where, P = pressure, V = volume

n = no. of moles, R = gas constant

T = temperature

Also, density is equal to mass divided by volume. And, no. of moles equals mass divided by molar mass.

Therefore, then formula for ideal gas could also be as follows.

P = $\frac{mass}{volume \times molar mass} \times RT$

or, P = $\frac{density}{\text{molar mass}} \times RT$

Since, density is given as 0.789 g/ml which is also equal to 789 g/L (as 1000 mL = 1 L). Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

P = $\frac{density}{\text{molar mass}} \times RT$

= $\frac{789 g/l}{46.06 g/mol} \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 373 K$

= 525 atm

As two-liter soft drink bottle can withstand a pressure of 5 atm and the value of calculated pressure is 525 atm which is much greater than 5 atm.

Therefore, the soft drink bottle will obviously explode.
