Answer:

Potassium chloride > Butanol >Propane > Ethane

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent and it is likely to dissolve polar molecules.

KCl is ionic in nature and is completely polar and the solubility of the salt, potassium chloride is the highest.

Butanol can form hydrogen bonding with the water despite having a carbon chain. Thus, butanol will be at second.

Taking about, ethane and propane, both are non polar and least likely to dissolve in water. But, the extent of the London forces increases with the increase in the molecular weight. So, propane will dissolve faster than ethane.

The order is:

Potassium chloride > Butanol >Propane > Ethane

What is the solubility of methylacetylene (in units of grams per liter) in water at 25 °C, when the C3H4 gas over the solution h
Luda [366]

Answer:

The solubility of methylacetylene is 0,11 g L⁻¹

Explanation:

Henry's law is a gas law that states that the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid.

The formula is:

C = kH P

Where C is solubility of the gas (In mol/L)

kH is Henry constant (9,23x10⁻² mol L⁻¹ atm⁻¹)

An P is partial pressure (0,301 atm)

Solving, C = 2,78x10⁻³ mol L⁻¹. In grams per liter:

2,78x10⁻³ mol L⁻¹ₓ \frac{40 g}{mol} = <em>0,11 g L⁻¹</em>

<em></em>
