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.

A student placed 15.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in a volumetric flask, added enough water to dissolve the glucose by swirling, then
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

There are 0.93 g of glucose in 100 mL of the final solution

Explanation:

In the first solution, the concentration of glucose (in g/L) is:

15.5 g / 0.100 L = 155 g/L

Then a 30.0 mL sample of this solution was taken and diluted to 0.500 L.

  • 30.0 mL equals 0.030 L (Because 30.0 mL ÷ 1000 = 0.030 L)

The concentration of the second solution is:

155 \frac{g}{L} *\frac{0.030L}{0.500L}=9.3\frac{g}{L}

So in 1 L of the second solution there are 9.3 g of glucose, in 100 mL (or 0.1 L) there would be:

1 L --------- 9.3 g

0.1 L--------- Xg

Xg = 9.3 g * 0.1 L / 1 L = 0.93 g
