What is it about water that makes it able to dissolve both polar covalent and iconic substances

Chemistry
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A solvent is simply a substance that can dissolve other molecules and compounds, which are known as solutes. ... Because of its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds, water makes an excellent solvent, meaning that it can dissolve many different kinds of molecules.

Which of the following reasons best explains why it is possible to separate a 1:1 mixture of 1-chlorobutane and 1-butanol by fra
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The boiling point of 1-chlorobutane is substantially lower than that of 1-butanol

Explanation:

Fractional distillation is a separation process based on difference in boiling point of two compounds.

1-chlorobutane is a polar aprotic molecule due to presence of polar C-Cl bond. Hence  dipole-dipole intermolecular force exists in 1-chlorobutane as a major force.

1-butanol is a polar protic molecule. Hence dipole-dipole force along with hydrogen bonding exist in 1-butanol.

Therefore intermolecular force is stronger in 1-butanol as compared to 1-chlorobutane.

So, boiling point of 1-butanol is much higher than 1-chlorobutane.

Hence mixture of 1-chlorobutane and 1-butanol can be separated by fractional distillation based on difference in boiling point.

So, option (D) is correct.

Which metals may be oxidized by H+ under standard-state conditions? Ag+(aq) + e– → Ag(s) E° = 0.80 V Cu2+(aq) + 2e– → Cu(s) E° =
Debora [2.8K]
Answer is: tin and zinc, because they standard potential as less than zero.
Tin and zinc are oxidized to tin and zinc cations (with +2 charge) and hydrogen anions are reduced to hydrogen molecules with neutral charge.
Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻; 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.
<span>Oxidation is increase of oxidation number  and reduction is decrease of oxidation number.</span>
