Answer:
No, it is not appropriate to mix water and DMSO
Explanation:
We have to realize that DMSO is a highly polar solvent and water is a highly polar solvent. The question explicitly says that our target is to produce a solvent of<u><em> intermediate polarity</em></u>.
We can only do this by mixing a polar and a nonpolar solvent. We have been given the example of the mixture of acetone/hexane which is quite a perfect mixture.
Thus, it is inappropriate to mix DMSO and water.
To find molarity
1) number of mol of solute.
Solute is HCl.
M(HCl)= 1.0+35.5 =36.5 g/mol
25g *1 mol/36.5 g = 25/36.5 mol HCl
2) Molarity is number of mole of the solute in 1 L solution.
150 mL = 0.150 L
(25/36.5 mol HCl )/(0.150 L) = 25/(36.5*0.150) ≈ 4.57≈4.6 mol/L
The liquids hexane
and water are placed in a test tube. The test tube is stoppered, shaken, and
placed in a test tube rack. The liquids separate into two distinct
layers because hexane and water have different molecular polarities. The answer
is number 2.
