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.

Under standard-state conditions, which of the following species is the best reducing agent? a. Ag+ b. Pb c. H2 d. Ag e. Mg2+

eimsori [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.

For the given options:

Option a: $Ag^+$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.

Option b: $Pb$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Pb^{2+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V

$Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{(Pb/Pb^{2+})}=+0.13V$

Option c: $H_2$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $H^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V

$H_2\rightarrow 2H^++2e^-;E^o_{(H_2/H^{+})}=0.0V$

Option d: $Ag$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Ag^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V

$Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{(Ag/Ag^{+})}=-0.80V$

Option e: $Mg^{2+}$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.

By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.

From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.

What questions, if we were to answer them, would

Margarita [4]

Answer:

When our bodies are dry and wind blows by, we lose some energy to the air molecules. When are bodies are wet, we have a substance on our skin that likes to absorb heat. So when wind blows by, we lose a LOT of energy to the air molecules. When the body loses heat energy, our body temperature drops.

Which property of a liquid increases with increasing temperature?

Nina [5.8K]

When temperature of liquid is increased, liquid gets thinner and thinner and hence it's viscosity decreases.

Density = mass/volume.

As we increase the temperature, volume of the liquid starts to increase but mass of the liquid remains constant. As a result, density of liquid decreases.

Hope this helps!

What is the mass of six of these marbles? What is the volume? What is the density?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

All right. So let's calculate the density of a glass marble. Remember that the formula for density is mass over volume. So if I know that the masses 18.5 g. And I know that the um volume is 6.45 cubic centimeters. I can go ahead and answer this to three significant figures. So it's going to be 2.87 grams per cubic centimeter. Okay, that's our density. Now, density is an intensive process. Okay. We're an intensive property. I really should say. It doesn't depend on how much you have. Mhm. If I have one marble, its density is going to be 2.87 g per cubic centimeter. If I have two marbles, the density will be the same because I'll double the mass and I'll also double the volume. So when I divide them I'll get the same number. Okay, that's what makes it an intensive property. No matter how many marbles I have, they'll have the same density. Mass though is not an intensive property. So if I have six marbles and I want to know what the massive six marbles is. Well, I know the mass of each marble is 18.5 g. So the mass of six marbles Is going to be 100 11 g. Because mass is an extensive property. It depends on how much you have. If I change the number of marbles, I'm going to change the mass. That's an extensive property. All right. So we've calculated the density. We've calculated the mass and then what happens to the density of one marble compared to six marbles as we mentioned before. Since densities and intensive property, the densities will be the same, no matter how may.

Which is made by weathering? A. sediments B. minerals C. ash D. magma

rusak2 [61]

The answer is A cause the water breaks down the rocks into small pieces which are called sediments. These things later on turn into rocks with pressure and heat
