Answer:

MgCl2 > C4H9OH > CH4 > C3H8.

Explanation:

Alkanes do not form hydrogen bonds and are insoluble in polar solvents e.g water. The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are move away from an alkane molecule and this worsens as their Carbon chain / molecular weight increases.

MgCl2 is soluble in water. Water essentially breaks down the ionic crystal lattice and the resulting solution is slightly basic.

Alcohols are generally soluble in water and this is because of the -OH group and its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. As applied to alkanes, as the carbon chain in the alkyl group increases, the solubility decreases.

From the most soluble to the least soluble,

MgCl2 > C4H9OH > CH4 > C3H8.

How many molecules of NH3 are produced from 4.72x10 negative 4 power g of H2?
Delvig [45]
<span>9.40x10^19 molecules.
   The balanced equation for ammonia is:
 N2 + 3H2 ==> 2NH3
   So for every 3 moles of hydrogen gas, 2 moles of ammonia is produced. So let's calculate the molar mass of hydrogen and ammonia, starting with the respective atomic weights:
 Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067
  Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794

   Molar mass H2 = 2 * 1.00794 = 2.01588 g/mol
 Molar mass NH3 = 14.0067 + 3 * 1.00794 = 17.03052 g/mol

   Moles H2 = 4.72 x 10^-4 g / 2.01588 g/mol = 2.34140921086573x10^-4 mol
   Moles NH3 = 2.34140921086573x10^-4 mol * (2/3) = 1.56094x10^-4 mol

Now to convert from moles to molecules, just multiply by Avogadro's number: 1.56094x10^-4 * 6.0221409x10^23 = 9.400197448261x10^19
   Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 9.40x10^19 molecules.</span>
