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 the ph of a solution of 1.699 l of 1.25 m hcn, ka = 6.2 x 10-10, and 1.37 moles of nacn?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

The pH of a solution is 9.02.

c(HCN) = 1.25 M; concentration of the cyanide acid

n(NaCN) = 1.37 mol; amount of the salt

V = 1.699 l; volume of the solution

c(NaCN) = 1.37 mol ÷ 1.699 l

c(NaCN) = 0.806 M; concentration of the salt

Ka = 6.2 × 10⁻¹⁰; acid constant

pKa = -logKa

pKa = - log (6.2 × 10⁻¹⁰)

pKa = 9.21

Henderson–Hasselbalch equation for the buffer solution:

pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)

pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)

pH = 9.21 + log (0.806M/1.25M)

pH = 9.21 - 0.19

pH = 9.02; potential of hydrogen

Which do you think will cool down faster in? The teaspoon of water or the cup of water? Why?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

I think the teaspoon will cool down faster.

Explanation:

The teaspoon of water will cool down faster because it is a smaller amount of water so the entire [drop] will absorb heat energy faster.

Westkost [7]

Answer: D. gravity

Explanation:

An airplane in flight is acted on by four forces: lift, the upward acting force; gravity, the downward acting force; thrust, the forward acting force; and drag, the backward acting force (also called wind resistance).
