Answer:

A. the intermolecular forces are similar in both dichloromethane and iodine.

Explanation:

Solubility is determined by the principle , "like dissolves like" .

i.e. , if a compound is polar then it will dissolve in a polar compound only , and

if a compound is non - polar then it will dissolve in a non - polar compound only .

As,

Non polar compounds , have similar interaction , and hence gets dissolved , and similarly ,

polar compounds have similar dipole - dipole interaction , and hence gets dissolved .

From the question ,

Iodine, I₂(s), is more soluble in dichloromethane, CH₂Cl₂(l) , as both are non - polar in nature and hence due to similar interaction , are soluble .

Water is polar in nature and therefore less soluble in Iodine, I₂(s) .

Explain, in terms of particles, what happens when methane boils and why

Ronch [10]

Answer:Butane > ethane > methane, because between bigger molecules there are stronger van der Waals forces and also higher molar mass means they need to be given more energy to have enough kinetic energy to move quickly, freely in gas.

There are multiple butene isomers (Butene) and some (2-Butenes - cis and trans) actually have higher boiling point than n-Butane (there is also Isobutane, of course, with quite much lower boiling point than all of them) and some (1-Butene, Isobutylene) have lower, so this isn't really a fair or simple question. But on simplest level, it can again be said that 1-butene has lower boiling point because it has very similar shape but slightly lower molar mass (2H less) than n-butane.

How many of the following statements about silver acetate, AgCH3COO, are true? i) More AgCH3CoO(S) will dissolve if the pH of th

shutvik [7]

Answer:

All three statements are true

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of silver acetate:

$AgCH_{3}COO\rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}+CH_{3}COO^{-}$

If pH is increased then concentration of $H^{+}$ increases in solution resulting removal of $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ by forming $CH_{3}COOH$ . Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards right. So more $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve
If $AgNO_{3}$ is added then concentration of $Ag^{+}$ increases in solution resulting shifting of equilibrium towards left in accordance with Le-chatelier principle. So less $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve
Insoluble precipitate of AgOH is formed by adding NaOH in solution resulting removal of $Ag^{+}$ . So, more $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve
