Answer:

CH3CH3CH2CH3

Explanation:

Octane is a non-polar compound. It is a hydrocarbon with 8-carbon length along its chain.

It belongs to a special group of hydrocarbons called alkanes.

What makes a substance soluble in another?

It is a common phrase that "like dissolves like". This is applicable to solubility of substances in another.

A polar solvent will freely and easily dissolve a polar solute. For example, water and salt.
A non-polar solvent will also dissolve a non-polar solute. This case, hydrocarbons will dissolve themselves.
The first option is a butane, a 4-carbon length hydrocarbon which will be dissolved in octane.
Both compounds are non-polar.

Answer:

$[I_2]=[Br]=0.31M$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it is possible for us to set up the following chemical equation at equilibrium:

$I_2+Br_2\rightleftharpoons 2IBr$

Now, we can set up the equilibrium expression in terms of x (reaction extent) whereas the initial concentration of both iodine and bromine is 0.5mol/0.250L=2.0M:

$K=\frac{[IBr]^2}{[I_2][Br_2]} \\\\1.2x10^2=\frac{(2x)^2}{(2.0-x)^2}$
