D) It is unlikely that a specific cause can be determined, but the treatment would likely be the same in either case
Answer: D. like dissolves like
Explanation:
The solubility of substances is governed by: Like dissolves like, which states that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.
Hydrocarbons are non polar in nature due to less difference between the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen and thus are soluble in non polar solvents only.
Ionic compounds which are formed by elements with high electronegativity difference are polar in nature and thus dissolve in polar solvents.
Example:
in water.
Trisulfur nonaiodide
Step-by-step explanation:
The name for a binary molecular compound has the form
Multiplying prefix+name of first element multiplying prefix+stem of second element element+ide (two words)
The multiplying prefixes for three and nine are tri and nona, respectively.
The stem of iodine is iod.
Put them together, and the name of S₃I₉ is
trisulfur nonaiodide.
