Question

Which of the following is false? Charged molecules are insoluble in water. Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar and hydrophilic molecules tend to be polar. Gasoline has partial positive and negative charges which allows it to dissolve in water. NH3 dissolves in water because its molecules form hydrogen bonds with water. Hydrophobic molecules prefer to interact with each other in an aqueous solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

Number 1 is false

Explanation:

1.- Charged molecules are insoluble in water. The statement is false, charged molecules are soluble in water and this is the main characteristic of charged molecules.

2.- Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar and hydrophilic molecules tend to be polar. This is true, hydrophobic molecules are non polar and hydrophilic molecules are polar.

3.- Gasoline has partial positive and negative charges which allows it to dissolve in water. This is true, gasoline is soluble in water.

4.- NH3 dissolves in water because its molecules form hydrogen bonds with water. This is true, NH3 interact with water because they can form hydrogen bonds.

5.- Hydrophobic molecules prefer to interact with each other in an aqueous solution. Absolutely true, hydrophobic molecules interact among them and they isolate from the environment.
