Explanation:

Vinegar is a sour liquid made up of acetic acid compounds. Oil is a complex non-polar chemical compound with a high amount of hydrogen and carbon in its structure.

Vinegar is a polar acid, although a weak one.
Generally, for a substance to mix with another one, they must be similar.
Solubility of compounds controls miscibility.
When two substances are miscible, they can be said to be soluble in one another.
In solubility, like substances dissolves like substances.
This implies that polar compounds will only dissolve polar compounds.
Non-polar compounds will only dissolve in non-polar solvents.
Since vinegar is polar and oil is non-polar, they will not dissolve one another.

What is the value of x in the measure of the angle?

Andrew [12]

The two angles would be both 41 degrees.
$(2x + 13) = 41 \\ 2x = 41 - 13 \\ 2x = 28 \\ x = \frac{28}{2} \\ x = 14$
x in this case would be 14 degrees.

A student carries out this chemical reaction in a beaker:

nydimaria [60]

Answer:The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

$Zn+CuCl_2\rightarrow Cu+ZnCl_2$

After the reaction between Zinc and copper(II) chloride, Zinc chloride and copper will be obtained as a product. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than copper which displaces the copper from its aqueous solution.

The student will expect to find copper metal at bottom of the beaker with aqueous solution of zinc chloride.

Hence the correct answer is option (C).

How many moles are in 29.5 grams of Ax?

JulsSmile [24]

The number of moles present in 29.5 grams of argon is 0.74 mole.

The atomic mass of argon is given as;

Ar = 39.95 g/mole

The number of moles present in 29.5 grams of argon is calculated as follows;

39.95 g ------------------------------- 1 mole

29.5 g ------------------------------ ?

$= \frac{29.5}{39.95} \\\\= 0.74 \ mole$

Thus, the number of moles present in 29.5 grams of argon is 0.74 mole.
