CH₃CH₂OCH₂ is more soluble in water because it has shorter hydrocarbon chain.

<h3>What is hydrocarbon?</h3>

Hydrocarbon is defined as the compound which contain hydrocarbon and carbon atoms.

The carbon atom attached to each other to form framework and hydrogen atom attach to them in different ways to give different configuration. One of the most popular hydrocarbon compound is diamond.

<h3>Solubility of hydrocarbon in water</h3>

Hydrocarbon is non polar compound whereas water is polar compound. So, hydrocarbon is in soluble in water. But as they have weak intermolecular interactions known as London dispersion forces i.e. Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interactions.

make them less soluble in water.

Greater the hydrocarbon chain lesser will be the solubility of ketone in water. On the other hand, lesser the hydrocarbon chain greater will be the solubility of ketone in water.

Thus, we concluded that the CH₃CH₂OCH₂ is more soluble in water because it has shorter hydrocarbon chain.

C. Another radioisotope of americium exists which has an atomic mass of 242.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

1 g

Explanation:

The half-life of Am-242 (16 h) is the time it takes for half of it to disappear.

We can make a table of the mass left after each half-life.

$\begin{array}{cccc}\textbf{No. of} & & \textbf{Percent} & \textbf{Mass}\\\textbf{Half-lives} & \textbf{Time/h} & \textbf{Remaining} & \textbf{Remaining/g}\\0& 0 & 100 & 8\\1 & 16 &50 & 4\\2 & 32 & 25 & 2\\3 & 48 & 12.5 & 1\\4 & 64 & 6.25 & 0.5\\\end{array}$

The mass remaining after 48 h is 1 g.

Question 2

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1-Pentene

Explanation:

If we look at all the options listed, we will notice that the rate of reaction of bromine with each one differs significantly.

For 1-pentene, addition of bromine across the double bond is a relatively fast process. It is usually used as a test for unsaturation. Bromine water is easily decolorized by alkenes.

Cyclohexane, heptane are alkanes. They can only react with chlorine in the presence of sunlight. This is a substitution reaction. It does not occur easily. A certain quantum of light is required for the reaction to occur.

For benzene, bromine can only react with it by electrophilic substitution in which the benzene ring is retained. A Lewis acid is often required for the reaction to occur and it doesn't occur easily.

If a chemist has 2.3 moles of arsenic (as) that has a molar mass of 74.92 g/mol, which would be the best way to find out how man

mr Goodwill [35]

The best way to determine the number of atoms of arsenic in the sample will be to multiply 2.3 by Avagadro's number.
This is because Avagadro's number is the number of particles one mole of any substance has, and its value is 6.02 x 10²³
If the number of moles of a substance are known, then multiplying by Avagadro's number will give the number of particles. In this case, this is 1.38 x 10²⁴.
