Among these two compounds Lactic Acid is completely soluble in water (1000 g/L) while, Myristic Acid is insoluble in water [<span>20 mg/L (20 °C)].

Explanation:
                   Among other factors solubility greatly depends upon the inter-molecular interactions between solute and solvent (<em><u>LIKE DISSOLVES LIKE</u></em><u>)</u>. Greater the interactions greater is the solubility.
                   As shown below, Lactic Acid contains two hydroxyl groups and one carbonyl group. These three groups are involved in forming Hydrogen Bond Interactions with the molecules of Water.
                   Whereas, Myristic Acid contains a long chain of carbon which is non polar in nature. So, due to this non polar carbon chain no such interactions are formed as formed in case of Lactic Acid. Still the less solubility found is due to the interaction of Carboxylic group of Myristic Acid with water molecules, which is comparatively very less.</span>

Equal masses (in grams) of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water. Which substance is limiting?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

a. Oxygen gas is limiting

Explanation:

hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water

2H₂ + O₂  →  2H₂O

the above balanced equation shows that 2 moles of H₂ is required for 1 mole of O₂

Given equal masses of H₂ and O₂

assuming 'x' gm for each, no. of moles of each gas  =

no. of moles of H₂ = x/2 = 0.5x moles

no.of moles of O₂ = x/32 = 0.031x moles

This shows that no. of moles of O₂ is very less so O₂ will become the limiting reagent.
