Non-polar covalent

Explanation:

Propane is made up of non-polar covalent bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.

Propane is an hydrocarbon gas.

It forms by sharing of electrons between two atoms with very low electronegativity differences.

This differences results in equal sharing of the shared electron. Therefore they form a non-polar covalent bond.

Water is a polar covalent compound and cannot dissolve compounds that are not polar like propane.

Propane will only dissolve in a like substance like hexane which is equally non-polar.

How much time would it take for 336 mg of copper to be plated at a current of 5.6 A ? Express your answer using two significant

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

1.8 × 10² s

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction that occurs upon the electroplating of copper.

Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Cu(s)

We will establish the following relationships:

1 g = 1,000 mg
The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol
When 1 mole of Cu is deposited, 2 moles of electrons circulate.
The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,486 C (Faraday's constant).
1 A = 1 C/s

The time that it would take for 336 mg of copper to be plated at a current of 5.6 A is:

$336mgCu \times \frac{1gCu}{1,000mgCu} \times \frac{1molCu}{63.55gCu} \times \frac{2mole^{-} }{1molCu} \times \frac{94,486C}{1mole^{-}} \times \frac{1s}{5.6C} = 1.8 \times 10^{2} s$

If you want to lift a 30-kg box to a height of 1 m, how much work will it take?

natta225 [31]

Explanation:

workdone = force x distance

force = mass x acceleration

30 x 10 = 300N

300N x 1m

workdone= 300J

In preparing your soap, you dissolved 12.5 g of sodium hydroxide in 32.0 mL of de-ionized water. Your product was a solid cake o

Aleksandr [31]

Explanation:

The generated Na+ and OH-ions are immediately surrounded by molecules of water (typically 6, each). There is the development of the exothermic hydration sphere for each ion. It seems as though there is negative overall energy of dissolving solid NaOH.

Now, since this dissolution is exothermic the temperature of the mixture rises.

2KClO3 —> 2KCl2+ 3O2

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

False. The balanced equation should be

2KClO3-->2KCl + 3O2

it is a decomposition reaction.
