Is C8H18 an electrolyte or non-electrolyte
1 answer:
C₈H₁₈ is a non-electrolyte
Why?
Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. In order to do that, they need to have bonds that are polar enough to be able to dissociate, and the ions formed need to be soluble in water.
C₈H₁₈ is a compound that has a low electronegativity difference between its atoms, making it to be a covalent compound where electrons are shared, and making it non-polar, and difficult to dissociate. Thus, it is a non-electrolyte.
One possible structure for C₈H₁₈ is attached below. It's called octane.
Have a nice day!

Answer: 1 mole of has the greatest mass.
Explanation:
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP , contains avogadro's number of particles and weighs equal to the molecular mass of the substance.
1 mole of has a mass of 40 g.
1 mole of has a mass of 28 g
1 mole of has a mass of 32 g
1 mole of has a mass of 16 g.
1 mole of has a mass of 30 g.
Thus the greatest mass is of 1 mole of
Answer:
Explanation: According to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.
Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
This is an example of combustion reaction in which hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. This is an exothermic reaction in which a large amount of heat is liberated, thus water also exists as vapors.
