Answer: CuSO4>2-butanol> C4H9OH>C2H6>C3H8

Explanation:

Ionic substances are highly soluble in water. CuSO4 is an ionic salt composed of Cu2+ and SO42- ions. These ions are solvated in water hence the salt easily dissolves in the surrounding water molecules. this accounts for the fact that it is the most soluble of the five substances in water. 2-butanol contains the -OH group which interacts with water by hydrogen bonding. This accounts for the miscibility of alkanols with water in all proportions. however, this solubility in water decreases as the alky backbone increases. hence C4H9OH is less soluble in water that 2-butanol. Alkanes are usually not quite soluble in water but again solubility decreases with increase in the alky backbone hence propane is less soluble in water than ethane.

What is molar mass......?
Savatey [412]

In chemistry, the molar mass M is a physical property defined as the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by its amount of substance. The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol. However, for historical reasons, molar masses are almost always expressed in g/mol.

Hope this helped!

Good luck :p

How does salt help melt the road?​
QveST [7]

Lower the melting point

Explanation:

Salts helps to melt road by lowering the melting point. It acts as an impurity and generally, impurities low the melting point of substances.

Salts are used as an antifreeze.

  • Water freezes at 0°C and forms ice/snow which can impede human and vehicular movement.
  • When salt is added, it causes the depression of the freezing point by lowering it further.
  • The freezing point is pegged back at -6°C.
  • This way it takes more low temperature to freeze the water.
  • The salt acts as an impurity and causes the depression of melting point and widening of the melting range.
