Answer : The compound that would be most soluble in water is CH3CH2CH2OH

Explanation :

Water is a polar solvent and can dissolve polar molecules. This is based on the principle "Like dissolves like".

Among the given molecules, CH3CH2CH2CH3 is a hydrocarbon known as butane. All hydrocarbons are non polar. Therefore this compound will not be soluble in water.

The remaining compounds are polar, but Ch3CH2CH2OH shows greater solubility in water owing to presence of hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force that gets formed when a compound has hydrogen atom directly attached to highly electro-negative N, F or O atom.

When CH3CH2CH2OH is dissolved in water, it forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Due to this hydrogen bonding, the molecule shows greater solubility.

Therefore CH3CH2CH2OH is the most soluble compound in water

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

v = 10 km/h

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Distance traveled in the Bike Trip (d): 1 km

Time elapsed in the Bike Trip (t): 0.1 h

Step 2: Calculate the speed in the Bike Trip

The speed (v) is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. We will use the following mathematical expression.

v = d/t

v = 1 km/0.1 h

v = 10 km/h

The speed is 10 kilometers per hour.

A 32.5 g iron rod, initially at 22.4 ∘C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.0 ∘C, in an insulated container. The f

Allisa [31]

Answer:

The mass of water $m_{w}$ = 39.18 gm

Explanation:

Mass of iron $m_{iron}$ = 32.5 gm

Initial temperature of iron $T_{1}$ = 22.4°c = 295.4 K

Specific heat of iron $C_{iron}$ = 0.448 $\frac{KJ}{kg K}$

Mass of water = $m_{w}$

Specific heat of water $C_{w} = 4.2 \frac{KJ}{kg K}$

Initial temperature of water $T_{2}$ = 336 K

Final temperature after equilibrium $T_{f}$ = 59.7°c = 332.7 K

When iron rod is submerged into water then

Heat lost by water = Heat gain by iron rod

$m_{w}$ $C_{w}$ ( $T_{2}$ - $T_{f}$ ) = $m_{iron}$ $C_{iron}$ ( $T_{f}$ - $T_{1}$ )

Put all the values in above formula we get

$m_{w}$ × 4.2 × ( 336 - 332.7 ) = 32.5 × 0.448 × ( 332.7 - 295.4 )

$m_{w}$ = 39.18 gm

Therefore the mass of water $m_{w}$ = 39.18 gm
