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.

When an atom is in the ground state what must happen for the atom to be in an excited state? what must happen for this atom to r
scoray [572]
Hi there

In order for an electron to jump into a higher energy state, it must first absorb energy (heat, light, etc).

When an electron goes back down to the ground state from the excited state, it emits energy usually in the form of a photon.

i hope this helps

Which statements describe the law of conservation of charge? Check all that apply.
AlekseyPX
The statements in accordance with the law of conservation of charge are:
A. The total charge of the reactants and products must be equal
B. The net charge of an isolated system remains constant

Both of these statements follow the law of conservation of charge which states that charge may neither be created nor destroyed, due to which the total charge in an isolated system (one in which charge can not move in or out of) remains constant.

How does changing temperature affect the solubility of gases in liquids?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The solubility of gases in liquids decreases with increasing temperature. Conversely, adding heat to the solution provides thermal energy that overcomes the attractive forces between the gas and the solvent molecules, thereby decreasing the solubility of the gas; pushes the reaction in Equation 4 to the left
