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.

What's the empirical and molecular weight of C14H22N4O8? What's the molecular formula of C14H22N4O8?
Inessa05 [86]

374u

187u

C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₈

Explanation:

To find the molecular weight of the compound C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₈ we simply sum that atomic masses of the given elements in the compound.

 The empirical weight is determined by using the simplest ratio of the elements involved in the compound;

Molecular weight of C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₈;

atomic mass of C = 12g/mol

                           H = 1g/mol

                            N = 14g/mol

                            O = 16g/mol

 Molecular weight = 14(12) + 22(1) + 4(14) + 8(16)

                                = 168 + 22 + 56 + 128

                                 = 374u

Empirical weight:

  Empirical formula:

                        C₁₄    H₂₂      N₄     O₈

                         14  :    22 :    4  :     8

   divide by 2:

                          7   :    11    :    2  :    4

     empirical formula  C₇H₁₁N₂O₄

     empirical weight = \frac{molecular weight}{2} = \frac{374}{2} = 187u

The molecular formula is the actual combination of atoms in a compound. so the molecular formula of the compound is C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₈
