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}

How many moles of oxygen are consumed in the complete combustion of 1.60 moles of benzene, c6h6?
My name is Ann [436]

In the complete combustion of 1.60 moles of benzene, C6H6, 12 moles of oxygen, O2, is consumed.

Combustion is defined as the process of burning something. In chemistry, combustion refers to the chemical process between a fuel and an oxidant, usually oxygen to produce heat and light in the form of flame.

In a complete combustion, oxygen is sufficient to react with any hydrocarbons to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Balancing the combustion reaction of benzene, we have:

2C6H6 + 15 O2 = 12CO2 + 6H2O

Based on the balanced combustion reaction above, 2 moles of benzene requires 15 moles of oxygen to have a complete combustion.

If we have 1.60 moles C6H6,

moles O2 = mole ratio x mole of benzene

moles O2 = (15 moles O2/2 moles C6H6) x 1.60 moles C6H6

moles O2 = 12

Maressa has 150 g of a NaCl solution that has concentration of 15.0 % NaCl (mm). How much NaCl is dissolved in that solution? O
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

I don't know if option e. is 22,5 g. because that is the correct answer for this. 15% NaCl (mm) gives you the information that in 100 g of solution, you have 15 g of solute. So, if in 100 g of solution you have 15 g of NaCl, in 150 g of solution, how much. Try the rule of three.
