Answer:

C6H14 < C6H13Br < C6H13OH < C6H12(OH)2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the solubility in water is related with the presence of polar bonds in the given molecules we can see that C6H12(OH)2 has the presence two O-H bonds which promote the highest solubility via hydrogen bonds as well as the C6H13OH but in a lower degree as only on O-H bond is present. Next since the bond C-Br in is slightly close to the polar bond C6H13Br rather than the C-C bonds only had by C6H14 we can infer that C6H13Br is more soluble in water than C6H14, therefore the required order is:

C6H14 < C6H13Br < C6H13OH < C6H12(OH)2

Whereas C6H12(OH)2 is the most soluble and C6H14 the least soluble in water.

Best regards.

What is a change in matter that produces one or more substances?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

chemical change, or chemical reaction.

Explanation:

A change in matter that produces one or more new substances is a chemical change, or chemical reaction. In a chemical change, atoms rearrange to form new substances, which results in different physical properties, as well. ( you could have looked it up on google lol )

Calculate the hight of a column of liquid glycerol in meters required to exert the same pressure as 3.02 m if CCl4?

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Approximately $3.81\; \rm m$ .

Explanation:

Look up the density $\rho$ of carbon tetrachloride, $\rm CCl_4$ , and glycerol:

Density of carbon tetrachloride: approximately $1.59\times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3}$ .
Density of glycerol: approximately $1.26\times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3}$ .

Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength. (Typically $g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ near the surface of the earth.) For a column of liquid with a height of $h$ , if the density of the liquid is $\rho$ , the pressure at the bottom of the column would be:

$P = \rho\cdot g \cdot h$ .

The pressure at the bottom of this carbon tetrachloride column would be:

$\begin{aligned} P &= \rho \cdot g \cdot h \\ & \approx 1.59\times 10^{3} \; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3} \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \times 3.02 \; \rm m \approx 4.71 \times 10^{4} \; \rm N \cdot m^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange the equation $P = \rho\cdot g \cdot h$ for $h$ :

$\displaystyle h = \frac{P}{\rho \cdot g}$ .

Apply this equation to calculate the height of the liquid glycerol column:

$\begin{aligned}h &= \frac{P}{\rho \cdot g} \\ &\approx \frac{4.71 \times 10^{4}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}}{1.26 \times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3} \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 3.81\; \rm m\end{aligned}$ .

A layer of sediment goes through a series of steps on its way to becoming sedimentary rock. These steps are summarized below. Re

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Explanation:

The steps involved in formation of a sedimentary rock are placed in the correct order as follows.

Step 1: The sediment is deposited by wind, flowing water, or other natural processes.

Step 2: The sediment is gradually buried and compacted.

Step 3: Dissolved minerals completely cement the sediment together.

As a result, it leads to the formation of a sedimentary rock.

Does silver form a gas? Yes or no.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Yes it does

Explanation:

Silver is a chemical element with the symbol Ag and atomic number 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal.[citation needed] The metal is found in the Earth's crust in the pure, free elemental form ("native silver"), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite. Most silver is produced as a byproduct of copper, gold, lead, and zinc refining.
