Answer:

hydrogen chloride (HC)- insoluble in hexane

hydrogen sulfide (H2S)- insoluble in hexane

water (H2O)- insoluble in hexane

propane (CH3CH2CH3)- soluble in hexane

Explanation:

Generally, it is a principle in chemistry that polar solvents dissolve polar substances while nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar substances.

This is because, dissolution of a substance in another substance depends on the kind of intermolecular interaction that is possible between the two substances. Hence, ionic substance dissolve in polar solvents due to dipole interactions and nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents due to Vanderwaals interaction between the solute and solvent.

Hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulphide and water are ionic substances hence they can not dissolve in hexane which is a nonpolar substance. However, propane is a nonpolar solvent hence it dissolves in hexane.

A solution contains 6.21 g of ethylene glycol dissolved in 25.0 g of water. If water has a boiling point elevation constant of 0

timurjin [86]

Calculate first the number of moles of ethylene glycol by dividing the mass by the molar mass.
n = (6.21 g ethylene glycol) / 62.1 g/mol
n = 0.1 mol
Then, calculate the molality by dividing the number of moles by the mass of water (in kg).
m = 0.1 mol/ (0.025 kg) = 4m
Then, use the equation,
Tb,f = Tb,i + (kb)(m)
Substituting the known values,
Tb,f = 100°C + (0.512°C.kg/mol)(4 mol/kg)
<em>Tb,f = 102.048°C</em>

How much heat is released as the temperature of 25.2 grams of iron is decreased from 72.1°C to 9.8°C? The specific heat of iron

prisoha [69]

Answer:

$Q=-697.06\ J$

Negative sign says that release of heat.

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of the heat released or absorbed of a process is shown below as:-

$Q=m\times C\times \Delta T$

Where,

$\Delta H$ is the heat released or absorbed

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is the temperature change

Thus, given that:-

Mass = 25.2 g

Specific heat = 0.444 J/g°C

$\Delta T=9.8-72.1\ ^0C=-62.3\ ^0C$

So,

$Q=25.2\times 0.444\times -62.3\ J=-697.06\ J$

Negative sign says that release of heat.

Which group on the periodic table would have zero electronegativity because they have a full octet?

bija089 [108]

The group on the periodic table that would have 0 electronegativity due to the fact that their valence shell is full, i.e, have a full octet would be the inert or noble gases. They have a total of 8 electrons in their valence shell and are thus inert and cannot strongly attract electrons toward itself, from neighbouring atom electrons as it does not need to.
