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

Why aren't descriptive investigations repeatable?

Bad White [126]

In descriptive investigations, we still haven't formed any hypothesis yet so we seek information by asking question.

It's not repeatable because repeating the questions over and over again without any clue about what we want to seek is completely waste of time.

Hope this helps xox :)

Scientists take scientific measurements carefully in order to ensure their reliability and validity. Which of the following is a

Lemur [1.5K]

The correct answer is C. An example of measurement bias in scientific measurement, of the available answers, would be a balance that always reads 0.1g. The other possible answers are all examples of devices or measurement techniques that would help a scientist to avoid measurement bias, rather than contributing to it.

Answer:

NH3>H2O>Cl-

Explanation:

The given wavelengths of maximum absorption for each complex can be used to estimate the magnitude of field splitting of the respective ligands as shown in the image attached. The field splitting is reported in the unit kilojoule per mole (KJmol-1).

It can be seen from the calculation in the image attached that ammonia shows the highest crystal field splitting followed by water and lastly the chloride anion. This corresponds to the respective positions of these species in the spectrochemical series. Water and the chloride ion are weak field ligands.
