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.

Four properties of water are listed. It reacts with halogens to form oxygen gas as one of the products. It is transparent and ta
Bezzdna [24]

Chemical property is the property of the substances that describes the ability of the substance to involve in chemical reactions. Physical property is that which does not change the chemical composition of the substances. The following properties of water that it is transparent and tasteless in its pure form and it freezes at a temperature of 0^{0}C are physical properties as they simply indicate the change in physical state without any change in chemical composition of water.

The other two properties that water reacts with halogens to form oxygen gas as one of the products and water decomposes to form hydrogen and oxygen are chemical properties as the chemical composition of water changes in the given reaction.

Therefore the correct answer is b. 1 and 4

Magnesium (24.48g) reacts with hydrochloric acid (xg) to produce hydrogen gas (2.04g) and magnesium chloride (96.90g). How much
andriy [413]

Answer:

Mass = 73.73 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg used = 24.48 g

Mass of HCl used = ?

Mass of hydrogen gas produced = 2.04 g

Mass of Magnesium chloride produced = 96.90 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl   →    MgCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Mg:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 24.48 g/ 24.305 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.01 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Mg with HCl from balance chemical equation.

                              Mg             :            HCl

                               1                ;               2

                            1.01              :           2/1× 1.01 = 2.02 mol

Mass of HCl react:

Mass = number  of moles × molar mass

Mass =  2.02 ×  36.5 g/mol

Mass = 73.73 g
