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

Express the following numbers as decimals: (a) 1.52 x 10^-2, (b) 7.78 x 10^-8, (c) 1 x 10^-6, (d) 1.6001 x 10^3.

Answer :

(a) 0.0152

(b) 0.0000000778

(c) 0.000001

(d) 1600.1

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example :

5000 is written as $5.0\times 10^3$

889.9 is written as $8.899\times 10^{-2}$

In this examples, 5000 and 889.9 are written in the standard notation and $5.0\times 10^3$ and $8.899\times 10^{-2}$ are written in the scientific notation.

(a) $1.52\times 10^{-2}$

The standard notation is, 0.0152

(b) $7.78\times 10^{-8}$

The standard notation is, 0.0000000778

(c) $1\times 10^{-6}$

The standard notation is, 0.000001

(d) $1.6001\times 10^{3}$

The standard notation is, 1600.1

Enter a balanced equation for the complete combustion of liquid C3H7OH. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all

Vlad1618 [11]

2 C₃H₇OH (l) + 9 O₂ (g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O (g)

Explanation:

To balance the chemical equation the number of atoms of each element entering the reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

Bellow we have the balanced chemical equation of the complete combustion of C₃H₇OH:

C₃H₇OH (l) + (9/2) O₂ (g) → 3 CO₂ (g) + 4 H₂O (g)

to have integer coefficients we multiply the reaction with 2:

2 C₃H₇OH (l) + 9 O₂ (g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O (g)

where:

(l) - liquid

(g) - gaseous
