Answer:

(a) Ethyl acetate and hexane, and (c) methanol and methylene chloride.

Explanation:

re-crystallization is a technique used to purify solid compound.   Ethyl acetate and hexane are good solvent pair for recrystallization because they are miscible with each other due to their good differences in polarity. ethyl acetate has polarity of 77 while hexane has 68.

water and diethyl ether are not good solvent pair for recrystallization because water and diethyl ether are immiscible. They have very far polarity values. water has 100 while diethyl ether has 35

Cutting a piece of paper in half proves that solids have no definite shape.<br><br> True or False?
erma4kov [3.2K]
False. Solids have a definite shape and volume. Cutting a paper (solid) in half will alter the shape of the original solid and give it a new shape and volume instead. A solid will always have a definite shape. If not, it's not a solid.

Some plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Explain one benefit of this dual reproduction capability.
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

An additional advantage of asexual reproduction is that colonization of new habitats may be easier when an individual does not need to find a mate to reproduce. During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.

Explanation:

An organism has many benefits for having the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually. The first of these benefits is that it doesn't have to find a mate in order to reproduce, so it can create offspring by itself, and enable the continuation of its' species.

Which of the following molecules, having a bond with chlorine, contains an ionic bond? Chlorine gas, Calcuim Chloride, Carbon Te
natka813 [3]

Answer: In calcium chloride there is one calcium atom and two chloride atoms attached to it, it has an ionic bond with chlorine and calcium. A bond is said to be an ionic bond if it is formed by the electrostatic attraction between one negatively charged and one positively charged ions. Ions are the atoms which are formed on the gain or loss of electrons to an atom. All the other molecules have covalent bonds, which forms on sharing of electron pairs.
