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

Report the number 315.05 to 3 significant figures.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

315.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the given number has five significant figures as the zero is to the right of the first nonzero digit (3), if it is required to report it with three significant figures, it is necessary to "cut" it at the first five without any rounding since the subsequent zero is less than five.

Thus the number turns out:

315

Best regards.

What is the limiting reactant in the following equation? How much Fe2O3 will be produced if 2.1 g of Fe with 2.1 g of O2?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Fe is limiting, and it will produce .0188 mols of Fe2O3

Explanation:

after you convert both Fe and O2 to mols by using their molar mass, you see there is less Fe than O2 so that is your limiting reactant. To find the amount of Fe2O3 you devide the limiting reactant by it's coefeciant (4) then multiply it by the products coefficant (2). Let me know if you have any questions

What are the categories when earth is divided according to its chemical composition? ​
STALIN [3.7K]
The Earth is divided into three chemical layers: the Core [Inner Core (D) and Outer Core (C)], the Mantle (B) and the Crust (A). The Core is predominantly composed of iron and nickel. Even after 4.5 billion years of cooling, the Earth's core remains very hot.
