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.

Br₂ (l) + 2 NaI (s) → 2 NaBr (s) + I₂ (s)

Explanation:

Reacting bromide (Br₂) with sodium iodine (NaI) will produce sodium bromide (NaBr) and iodine (I₂).

To balance the equation the number of atoms of each element entering the  reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

Br₂ (l) + 2 NaI (s) → 2 NaBr (s) + I₂ (s)

where:

l - liquid

s - solid

This is a single replacement reaction because an element in a compound is replaced by another element. Generally a single replacement reaction is represented as: A + BC → AC + B

A gas at 400 k is placed in a 4.0 l moveable piston. The gas is cooled to 252 k. What is the new volume of the piston?
katrin [286]

Answer:

2.52L

       

Explanation:

Given parameters:

T₁  = 400K

V₁  = 4L

T₂ = 252K

unknown

V₂ = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply charle's law. The law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to temperature provided pressure is constant.

Mathematically,

               \frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} }  = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }

Substitute and solve for V₂

           \frac{4}{400}  = \frac{V_{2} }{252}

        V₂ = 2.52L

How many molecules are in 42.3g sample of water
Helga [31]

Answer:

The number of molecules is 1.4140*10^24 molecules

Explanation:

To know the number of molecules, we need to determine how many moles of water we have, water has molar mass of 18.015g/mol

This means that one mole of water molecules has a mass of 18.015g.

42.3g * 1 mole H2O/18.015g

= 2.3480 moles H2O

We are using avogadros number to find the number of molecules of water

2.3480 H2O * 6.022*10^ 23moles/ 1mole of H2O

That's 2.3480 multiplied by 6.022*10^23 divided by 1 mole of H2O

Number of molecules = 1.4140 *10^24 molecules

Why is an electron ejected when green light hits the metal?
Roman55 [17]

Explanation:

If a large photon strikes the surface, that has enough strength to take out an electrode, which will then travel to the positive side since it is negative. Current is flowing at this stage. Since the reduced photons will be unable to distinguish between atoms, no power can pass.
