Answer: Non polar solvents

Explanation:

Since with increasing the size of alkyl group hydrophobic nature increases and solubility in polar solvents decreases .

Hence Carboxylic acids with more than 10 carbon atoms, solubility is more in non polar solvents.

A reaction has ∆H = −356 kJ and ∆S = −36 J/K. Calculate ∆G (kJ) at 25°C.

Cloud [144]

Answer: -345.2 KJ

Explanation: As we know that ,dG=dH-TdS

T=25+273=298 K

dG= -356 x1000-298(-36)= -356000+10728

=-345272 j

= -345.2 KJ

Marcus measured the masses and volumes of samples of four different substances, and he calculated their densities. The table sho

Zina [86]

Given:

Calculated density values-

Aluminum = 2.7 g/cm3

Copper = 9.0 g/cm3

Iron = 7.9 g/cm3

Titanium = 4.8 g/cm3

Unknown sample mass = 9.5 g

Sample volume = 2.1 cm3

To determine:

The identity of the unknown sample

Explanation:

'Density' is a physical parameter which can be used to identify the nature of the unknown substance.

Density = Mass/Volume

For the unknown sample

Density = 9.5 g/2.1 cm3 = 4.52 g/cm3

This matches closely with the calculated density of titanium

Ans: The unknown substance is made of titanium
