Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A miscible solution is defined as the one in which two or more than two components are soluble with each other.

So, when hexane is added to heptane then both of them will mix with each other and hence they are miscible. This mixing will lead to formation of more number of ions into the solution as a result, more will be the disorder present in the solution.

As entropy is the degree of randomness present.

Hence, we can conclude that a solution of hexane and heptane will lead to an increase in entropy.

Answer:

Single replacement reaction (aka single displacement reaction)

Explanation:

In a single replacement reaction, one element is substituted for another in a compound to create a new compound and a new element in the products. The general form is:

A + BC --> B + AC

In the case of this question, Cr and Fe "trade places."

What is the molarity of an H3PO4solution if 15.0 mL is completely neutralized by 38.5 mL of 0.150 MNaOH? Please explain your ans
rodikova [14]

Answer:

M=Molarity

V=volume

change millilitre to litre

so:15ml=0.015 L

:38.5ml=0.0385 L

M1V1=M1V1

M1* 0.015 L= 0.15M*0.0385 L

M1=0.00385

How many molecules of co2,h2o,c3h8, and o2 will be present if the reaction goes to completion?
Nadya [2.5K]

Let initially there are 10 molecules of O2 and 3 molecules of C3H8 present

The reaction will be

C3H8(g)  + 5O2(g)  ----> 3CO2(g)   + 4H2O

so here oxygen molecules are limiting as for 3 molecules of C3H8 we need 15 molecules of O2

now the given 10 molecules of O2 will react with only 2 molecules of C3H8 and they will form six molecules of CO2 and 8 molecules of H2O

Hence answer is

molecules of CO2 formed = 6

Molecules of H2O formed = 8

molecules of C3H8 left = 1

molecules of O2 left = 0

Select the compound that is most likely to increase the solubility of ZnSe when added to water.NaCnMgBr2NaClKClO4
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

NaCl.

Explanation:

In the solution, ZnSe ionizes to Zn^2^+ and Se^2^- . Following reaction represents the ionization of ZnSe in solution -

ZnSe ⇄ Zn^2^+ + Se^2^-

As we want to increase the solubility of ZnSe, we must decrease the concentration of dissociated ions so that the reaction continues to forward direction.

If we add NaCl to this solution, then we have Na^+ and Cl^- in the solution which will be formed by the ionization of NaCl.

Now, Zn^2^+ in the solution will react with two Cl^- ions to form ZnCl_2 as follows -

Zn^2^++2Cl^- ⇄ ZnCl_2

Due to this reaction the concentration of Zn^2^+ will decrease in the solution and more ZnSe can be soluble in the solution.
