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 certain drug has a half-life in the body of 3.5h. Suppose a patient takes one 200.Mg pill at :500PM and another identical pill
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the amount of drug in the body at 90 min by using the exponential decay equation:

N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

Where:

λ: is the decay constant = ln(2)/t_{1/2}

t_{1/2}: is the half-life of the drug = 3.5 h

N(t): is the quantity of the drug at time t

N₀: is the initial quantity

After 90 min and before he takes the other 200 mg pill, we have:

N_{t} = 200e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{3.5 h}*90 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}} = 148.6 mg

Now, at 7:00 pm we have:

t = 7:00 pm - (5:00 pm + 90 min) = 30 min

N_{t} = (200 + 148.6)e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{3.5 h}*30 min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}} = 315.7 mg    

Therefore, the amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg (from an initial amount of 400 mg).

I hope it helps you!

Which statement is correct? A. pKa is not an indicator of acid strength. B. An acid with a small Ka is stronger than an acid wit
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Since [pKa = - log Ka]....hence..,the larger the Ka value,the stronger the acid is..so this means that the pKa is vice versa

Saying that the smaller the pKa value..the stronger the acid is.

Tonya had a mixture of sand, salt, iron particles, and pebbles. What processes should be used to separate the substances in the
marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

Put the pan into a water-containing dish and mix well. Now use a strainer to transfer the solution into another jar. The salt should disappear in it. 

And using a tube with a filtrate, transfer the salts that has sand into another bottle with a filtrate. Therefore the sand is split. Eventually, when all the water vaporizes and the salt stays in the bottle, leave the extra solvent and heat it.

a mixture contains two or more substances that are physically combined and there is no electron bonding
crimeas [40]


True.

A mixture is composed of two or more pure substance that are physically combined but are not combined chemically and thus no electrons (of their atoms) are involved.

The primary properties of a mixture include:

1. The components of a mixture are easily separated

2. The components each keep their original properties.

3. The proportion of the components may vary.

There are two main categories of mixtures:

1. Heterogeneous mixtures - substances are not evenly distributed e.g. oil and water mixture

2. Homogeneous mixtures - substances are evenly distributed throughout the mixture e.g. salt water, air.
