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

Calculate the volume of chlorine molecules produced at room temperature and pressure, when 234g of sodium chloride are electroly
rewona [7]

The volume of chlorine molecules produced at STP would be 96 dm³.

<h3>Stoichiometric problem</h3>

Sodium chloride ionizes during electrolysis to produce sodium and chlorine ions as follows:

NaCl --- > Na^+ + Cl^-

This means that 1 mole of sodium chloride will produce 1 mole of sodium ion and 1 mole of chlorine ion respectively.

Recall that: mole = mass/molar mass

Hence, 234 g of sodium chloride will give:

                         234/58.44 = 4.00 moles.

Thus, the equivalent number of moles of chlorine produced by 234 g of sodium chloride will be 4 moles.

Recall that:

1 mole of every gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure = 24 Liters.

Hence:

4 moles of chlorine = 4 x 24 = 96 Liters or 96 dm³.
