Answer:

Hexanoic acid is water insoluble and sodium hexanoate is water soluble

Explanation:

Hexanoic acid is water insoluble because of presence of long 6 membered non polar and hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain.

When hexanoic acid is treated with NaOH, it is converted to an ionic salt sodium hexanoate which is highly soluble in water because of it's ionic nature.

So, the reaction is given as:

         Hexanoic acid + NaOH \rightarrow Sodium hexanoate + water

Reaction in terms of molecular structure has been shown below.

Scrat [10]

Answer: Bubbles formed would be evidence that a chemical reaction took place when the solutions were combined.

Explanation:

As it is given that both Na_{2}CO_{3} and HCl chemically combine together leading to the formation of NaCl, water and carbon dioxide gas. As the gas is forming and its formation will also form bubbles into the solution.

This formation of bubbles actually indicate that a chemical reaction has taken place. As molecules of a gas are held by Vander waal forces so, this gas will readily escape into the atmosphere.

Thus, we can conclude that bubbles formed would be evidence that a chemical reaction took place when the solutions were combined.

When a piece of zinc metal is carefully placed in a beaker of strong acid, bubbles form on the surface of the metal and begin to
kati45 [8]

Answer:

A.  a new substance is being produced.

Explanation:

The bubbles most likely indicates that a new substance is being produced by this reaction. In essence, we describe this sort of change as chemical change.

In a chemical change, new substances are usually produced. They are accompanied by the evolution or absorption of energy.

The reaction of Zinc with a strong acid to produce bubbles on the surface of the metal indicates a chemical change and the formation of a new kind of substance.

Take for example, let zinc reacts with hydrocholoric acid, HCl;

   Zn         +      2HCl      →    ZnCl₂     +     H₂

Since Zn is higher than Hydrogen in the activity series, it will displace it from HCl and liberate hydrogen gas as a product. This will cause the bubbles observed in the reaction.

This is a chemical change and new products have been formed.

B and D are wrong because they are both physical changes.

C is wrong because no information about such is provided by the problem statement.

So, when a piece of zinc metal combines with a strong acid, a new kind of substance is produced.
