5 0

Answer:

Vegetable oil will dissolve in heptane

Isopropyl alcohol will dissolve in water

Potassium Bromide will dissolve in water

Explanation:

In chemistry, like dissolves like. This implies that polar substances will dissolve in polar solvents and nonpolar substances will dissolve in nonpolar solvents. This is so because, dissolution of a solute in a solvent involves adequate intermolecular interaction between solute and solvent which isn't possible between a polar and a nonpolar substance.

How many grams of iron (density = 7.87 g/mL ) would occupy the same volume as 96.4 g of aluminum (density = 2.70 g/mL)?
jasenka [17]
Volume of Al:

D = m / V

2.70  =  96.4 / V

V = 96.4 / 2.70 => 35.70 mL

Mass of iron:

D = m / V

7.87 = m / 35.70

m = 7.87 x 35.70 => 280.959 g

A solution with a ph of 2 has a h+ ion concentration that is _____ than a solution with a ph of 4
RoseWind [281]
A  solution with  a Ph  of   2  has  a  H+  ion  concentration  that  is two  times  greater  than  a  solution  with  a  ph  of  4.      The  Ph  of  2  and 4 indicate  that  the  solution  is   acidic since  they  are  less  than  PH  of  7. The  H+   ions  are more present   when  the  solution is  acidic  but   the  Ph  differ  with  concentration  H+  ions. The  solution  with  a  Ph  of  2  has  more  H+    than  the  solution  with  Ph  of  4  thus  the  solution with Ph  of  2  has  more  hydrogen  ions  than  that  of  4
