Which compound would you expect to be least soluble in water? Explain.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sophie [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:  a.CCl4 aka carbon tetrachloride

Explanation:

ionic compounds and polar molecules can be dissolved in water which is a polar solvent.

choice d (KF) is a salt (an ionic compound) and can be dissolved in water /(K+ and F- ions would be formed in water).

choice c (NH3 or ammonia) is a very polar molecule and thus can be dissolved in water(Hydrogen bonding).

choice b (CH3Cl) is slightly polar because the atoms surrounding the central carbon atom are different(3 H atoms and 1 chlorine atom) and can be dissolved in water(Dipole-dipole interaction).

choice a is nonpolar and cannot be dissolved in water.

Ivahew [28]

The temperature of liquid nitrogen (LN), an inert cryogenic fluid, is 196 °C (320 °F). To drop the temperature of the concrete as much as is possible without causing it to freeze, LN is directly injected by lances into the batch water storage tank, the aggregate, or the mixer.

<h3>What is Cryopreservation ?</h3>

Cryopreservation is the process of preserving live cells, tissues, and other biological samples by placing them in a deep freezer at extremely low temperatures. The sample is typically stored at 196°C or lower. All of a cell's biological processes come to an end at such low temperatures, and the cell dies.

  • Cells and tissues intended for transplantation are frequently stored via cryopreservation. A extremely stable ultra-low temperature environment is provided by liquid nitrogen. It is therefore employed for long-term storage.

The organic compounds that are the starting materials for compounds like fats and amino acids are called
alisha [4.7K]

The answer is; acetyl-CoA

This organic compound is an intermediate of the TCA/Citric/Krebs cycle. To make fats, the coenzyme is carboxylated to manolyCoA. This becomes a precursor fo palmitate and other lipids in the body by the addition of more manolyCoA.

The coenzyme is also a precursor to the formation of alpha-ketoglutarate, another intermediate of the TCA cycle, which is also a precursor in the formation of proteins.

1. Freon (CCl2F2) is commonly used in refrigerators and air conditioners as a coolant. How many grams of fluorine are there in t
Georgia [21]

Answer:

285g of fluorine

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to find the mass of Freon in grams. Then, with its molar mass we can find moles of freon and, as 1 mole of Freon, CCl₂F₂, contains 2 moles of fluorine, we can find moles of fluorine and its mass:

<em>Mass Freon:</em>

<em>2.00lbs * (454g / 1lb) = </em>908g of Freon

<em>Moles freon -Molar mass: 120.91g/mol- and moles of fluorine:</em>

908g of Freon * (1mol / 120.91g) =

7.5 moles of freon * (2moles Fluorine / mole Freon): 15 moles of fluorine

<em>Mass fluorine -Atomic mass: 19g/mol-:</em>

15 moles F * (19g / mol) =

<h3>285g of fluorine</h3>
