Sodium stearate , is the soap , it a ionic compound , hence , can easily break to cation and anion , and therefore is soluble in water .It works on the principle of micelle formation .

Tristearin and stearic acid are fatty acids , and have are carboxyl group and have a very huge hydrocarbon chain , making it non polar in nature ,hence is is insoluble in water , since , water is a polar molecule .

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Propane

Explanation:

From the question given, we were told that 0.1240 kg of propane reacted with excess oxygen to produce 0.3110kg of carbon dioxide.

Since the reaction took place in the presence of excess oxygen, therefore, propane is the limiting reactant as all of it is used up in the presence of excess oxygen.
