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.

A mixture of hydrogen and argon gases is maintained in a 6.47 L flask at a pressure of 3.43 atm and a temperature of 85 °C. If t
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The mixture contains 8.23 g of Ar

Explanation:

Let's solve this with the Ideal Gases Law

Total pressure of a mixture = (Total moles . R . T) / V

We convert T° from °C to K → 85°C + 273 = 358K

3.43 atm = (Moles . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 358K) / 6.47L

(3.43 atm . 6.47L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 358K) = Moles

0.756= Total moles from the mixture

Moles of Ar + Moles of H₂ = 0.756 moles

Moles of Ar + 1.10 g / 2g/mol = 0.756 moles

Moles of Ar = 0.756 moles - 0.55 moles H₂ → 0.206

We convert the moles to g → 0.206 mol . 39.95 g / 1 mol = 8.23 g

A flashbulb of volume 2.70 mL contains O2(g) at a pressure of 2.30 atm and a temperature of 30.0 °C. How many grams of O2(g) doe
Sholpan [36]
P = 2.30 atm

Volume in liter = 2.70 mL / 1000 => 0.0027 L

Temperature in K = 30.0 + 273 => 303 K

R = 0.082 atm

molar mass O2 = 31.9988 g/mol

number of moles O2 :

P * V = n * R* T

2.30 * 0.0027 = n * 0.082 * 303

0.00621 = n * 24.846

n = 0.00621 / 24.846

n = 0.0002499 moles of O2

Mass of O2:

n = m / mm

0.0002499 = m / 31.9988

m = 0.0002499 * 31.9988

m = 0.008 g

Answer:

PBr3 - Molecule , Polar

N2H2 - Molecule , (Polar in E- form and Non- polar in Z form)

C2H2 - Molecule , Non- Polar

N2 - Molecule , Polar

NCl3 - Molecule , Polar

SiF4 - Molecule , Non- Polar

NH3 - Molecule , Polar

F - Not- Molecule (atom)

H2 - Molecule and Non- Polar

Explanation:

Molecule : these are group of two or more atoms joined by strong force of attraction.

H2  is non- polar because it is homoatomic molecule.(made up of same element)

N2 is non- polar because it is homoatomic molecule.

Which of the following is TRUE? a neutral solution does not contain any H3O+ or OH- a neutral solution contains [H2O] = [H3O+] a
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Options B and C

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the options and get our answer by way of elimination. The basic definition of a neutral solution is given as;

A neutral solution is a substance which is neither acid nor basic . it has a PH of 7. it will have equal amount of H+ AND OH- ions in it.

a) a neutral solution does not contain any H3O+ or OH- This is wrong because take water as an example, it is neutral but contains both ions.

b) a neutral solution contains [H2O] = [H3O+]. This option is correct cause it is in line with the definition above.

c) an acidic solution has [H3O⁺] > [OH⁻]. Acidic solutions are any solution that has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than water. This option is correct.

d) a basic solution does not contain any H3O⁺. This option is wrong. Basic solutions are any solution that has a higher concentration of hydroxide ions than water. This means they contain H3O⁺ but  [OH⁻] is greater.
