Question

You are given two closed containers. Each containing a liquid solvent. Ammonia and table salt will dissolve in container A. Hexane and carbon dioxide will dissolve in container B. What are the possible solvents in containers A and B? A) A - water; B - carbon tetrachloride B) A - carbon tetrachloride; B - water C) A - bromine; B - oil D) A - oil; B - bromine

Answer 1

Ammonia and table salt dissolves in polar solvents, so A is water,
CO2 and hexane are non-polar substances, so they are going to be dissolved in non-polar solvent, so I think it is going to be carbon tetrachloride

Answer is A) A - water; B - carbon tetrachloride

Table salt does not dissolve in oil and CCl4, and Br2 is too active and it is going to react with NH3.

Answer 2

The solvent for ammonia and table salt is water and the solvent for hexane and carbon dioxide is carbon tetrachloride. SO the answer is A
