Answer: The given substances are placed in order from most soluble in water to least soluble in water as follows.

         MgCl_{2} > C_{4}H_{9}OH > C_{3}H_{8} > CH_{4}

Explanation:

It is known that like dissolves like which means a polar compound will be soluble in a polar solvent. And, a non-polar compound will be soluble in non-polar solvent.

Ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvent like water. For example, MgCl_{2} is an ionic compound and it is readily soluble in water.

2-butanol (C_{4}H_{9}OH) is also a polar compound and it will also dissolve in water but to a lesser extent as compared to magnesium chloride.

Whereas both methane and propane are non-polar in nature. But as propane is larger in size as compared to methane so, it will be slightly more soluble in water as compared to methane.

Thus, we can conclude that the given substances are placed in order from most soluble in water to least soluble in water as follows.

     MgCl_{2} > C_{4}H_{9}OH > C_{3}H_{8} > CH_{4}

A sample of helium gas initially at 37.0°C, 785 torr and 2.00 L was heated to 58.0°C while the volume expanded to 3.24 L. What i
spayn [35]

Answer:

0.681 atm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we make use of the General gas equation.

Given:

P1 = 785 torr

V1 = 2L

T1 = 37= 37 + 273.15 = 310.15K

P2 = ?

V2 = 3.24L

T2 = 58 = 58+273.15 = 331.15K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Now, making P2 the subject of the formula,

P2 = P1V1T2/T1V2

P2 = [785 * 2 * 331.15]/[310.15 * 3.24]

P2 = 515.715 Torr

We convert this to atm: 1 torr = 0.00132 atm

515.715 Torr = 515.715 * 0.00132 = 0.681 atm

What are the reactants in the reaction? What are their properties? Perform a quick Internet search, if needed.
Helen [10]

The reactants in this reaction are sodium and chlorine. Sodium is a soft, silvery-white metal that is highly reactive. Chlorine is a poisonous greenish-yellow gas that has an odor and combines readily with other elements.

This might be the exact question so you might wanna rephrase it but good luck! :)))

HELP !<br> 85g of NiCl2 dissolves in 350ml of H2O. What is the Molarity? Show your work
trapecia [35]

Answer:

1.874 M.

Explanation:

<em>Molarity is defined as the no. of moles of a solute per 1.0 L of the solution.</em>

<em />

M = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L)).

<em>∴ M = (mass/molar mass)of NiCl₂/(V of the solution (L)).</em>

<em></em>

∴ M = (mass/molar mass)of NiCl₂/(V of the solution (L)) = (85.0 g / 129.59 g/mol)/(0.35 L) = 1.874 M.
