Answer: option B.olive oil.

Explanation.

The general rule of thumb when you analyze the ability of a solvent to dissolve a solute is that lke dissolves like.

That means:

1) polar solvents dissolve ionic or polar solutes

2) Non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes

3) Non-polar solvents do not dissolve polar and ionic solutes 

4) Polar solvents do not dissolve non-polar solutes.


There are exceptions, but the rule is applicable in here.

<span>
A. table salt: it is NaCl, a ionic compound, so the water which is a polar solvent will dissolve the table salt.

B. Olive oil: the oils are non-polar organic compounds, so it will not be dissolved in a polar solvent.

C. Vinegar: vinegar is acetic acid, which is a polar organic compound, so it will be dissolved in water.

D. Sugar: sugar (sucrose) is a polar organic compound, so it will get dissovled in water.</span>

Explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

M = 1500g

C = 4.2J/g°C

ΔT = 20°C

Q =?

Q= MCΔT

Q = 1500 x 4.2 x 20 =

What is the pH of a solution made by mixing 30.00 mL 0.10 M HCl with 40.00 mL of 0.10 M KOH? Assume that the volumes of the solu
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

pH = 12.15

Explanation:

To determine the pH of the HCl and KOH mixture, we need to know that the reaction is  a neutralization type.

HCl  +  KOH  →  H₂O  +  KCl

We need to determine the moles of each compound

M = mmol / V (mL) → 30 mL . 0.10 M = 3 mmoles of HCl

M = mmol / V (mL) → 40 mL . 0.10 M = 4 mmoles of KOH

The base is in excess, so the HCl will completely react and we would produce the same mmoles of KCl

HCl  +  KOH  →  H₂O  +  KCl

3 m       4 m                       -

             1 m                      3 m

As the KCl is a neutral salt, it does not have any effect on the pH, so the pH will be affected, by the strong base.

1 mmol of KOH has 1 mmol of OH⁻, so the [OH⁻] will be 1 mmol / Tot volume

[OH⁻] 1 mmol / 70 mL = 0.014285 M

- log [OH⁻] = 1.85 → pH = 14 - pOH → 14 - 1.85 = 12.15
