Explanation: idrk it’s my best guess, i’m taking the test rn and that’s what i’m gonna put. i have an A in this class lol so ♀️
Answer:
B. NH₃ (l) dissolves in water to form a solution
Explanation:
A solution is a uniform or homogenous mixture of two or more substances. The components of a solution are the solute and solvent. The solute is the substance that is being dissolved in another substance. The solvent is the substance which dissolves the solute.
Mixing the given solutes in water results innthe following:
A. Helium being an inert gas does not dissolve in water at all. Therefore, no solution is formed.
B. Liquid ammonia is very solution in water. When mixed with water, it dissolves in water to form aqueous ammonia solution. Aqueous ammonia is an alkaline solution of ammonia dissolved in water.
C. Silicon (iv) oxide, SiO₂, is a crystalline solid whichnis completely insoluble in water. Mixing it with water does not result in the formation of a solution.
D. Pentane, C₅H₁₂, is a liquid hydrocarbon substance which is insoluble in water. It does not mix with water to form a solution, rather it forms two separate immiscible layers of liquids.
Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizer. When exposed to sunlight it quickly decomposes to form water and oxygen as given by the following equation.
2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
Hydrogen peroxide is commercially available as a 30% w/w solution, which is the concentration that would facilitate the above reaction. This implies that the concentration would be 30 g of H2O2 in 100 g of the solution.
H2O, also known as water, stands for two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Hope this helps! ^^
