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.

A sample of 87.6 g of carbon is reacted with 136 g of
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. fluorine, 1.79 moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of carbon  = 87.7g

Mass of fluorine gas  = 136g

Unknown:

The limiting reactant and the maximum amount of moles of carbon tetrafluoride that can be produced  = ?

Solution:

   Equation of the reaction:

             C    +   2F₂ →   CF₄  

let us find the number of the moles the given species;

  Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

  C;   molar mass = 12;

            Number of moles  = \frac{87.7}{12}   = 7.31moles

 F;  molar mass  = 2(19)  = 38g/mol

             Number of moles  = \frac{136}{38}   = 3.58moles

 So;

   From the give reaction:

          1 mole of C requires 2 moles of F₂

         7.31 moles of C will then require 2 x 7.31 moles of F₂ = 14.62moles

But we have 3.58 moles of the F₂;

  Therefore, the reactant in short supply is F₂ and it is the limiting reactant;

 So;

       2 moles of F₂ will produce  mole of CF₄  

       3.58 moles of F₂ will then produce \frac{3.58}{2}  = 1.79moles of CF₄

Al + AgNO3 -> Al(NO3)3 + Ag. As a balanced equation​
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Al + 4AgNO3 >>Al(NO3)3+ 3Ag

Explanation:

the number of moles of No3 of the products is 3 therefore we have to balance the reactants by adding 3 before the "AgNO3" which also leades us to adding 3 mols to Ag on the products side
