Answer:- "Like dissolves like." It means, a polar compound is soluble in polar solvent and non polar compound is soluble in non polar solvent.

Mineral oil is non polar in nature as it has longest carbon chain. Hexane is also non polar solvent. Being non polar, mineral oil is soluble in hexane.

Ethanol is a polar solvent and so mineral oil is insoluble in it.

Ibuprofen, an aspirin substitute, has a mass percent composition of 75.69% C, 8.80% H, and 15.51% O. Calculate its empirical for
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

C₁₃H₁₈O₂

Explanation:

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio in moles of the elements presents in the compound. Assuming a basis of 100g, we need to convert the mass of each element to moles and, find the ratio of each of these:

<em>Moles C:</em>

75.69g * (1mol / 12.01g) = 6.3 moles of C

<em>Moles H:</em>

8.80g * (1mol / 1.01g) = 8.7 moles of H

<em>Moles O:</em>

15.51g * (1mol / 16g) = 0.97 moles of O

The ratio dividing in the moles of O -Because is the element with the lower amount of moles-:

C = 6.3mol / 0.97mol = 6.5

H = 8.7mol / 0.97mol = 9

O = 0.97mol / 0.97mol = 1

As the ratio must be in whole-numbers, multiplying in 2:

C = 13;

H = 18

O = 2

And empirical formula is:

If an exothermic chemical reaction occurs, the surroundings become warmer. Where does this energy come from?
Elena L [17]

It comes to from the chemical reaction itself. Exothermic reaction release heat because the energy level of the products is lower than that of the reactants.  Therefore, the net enthalpy change of the reaction is negative (-), meaning heat or light (or any other form of energy) is released into the environment. An example of an exothermic reaction is the combustion of fuel.
