Chapter 10, Problem 10.42QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If benzene, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}\left(l\right)$ is insoluble in water.

Interpretation: The solubility of benzene, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}\left(l\right)$ in water is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Water is a polar solvent. Polar solvents stabilize ions so that they effectively dissolve substances which easily dissociates into ions. Polar substances are soluble in other polar substance as like dissolves like.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If potassium bromide, $\text{KBr}\left(s\right)$ is insoluble in water.

Interpretation: The solubility of potassium bromide, $\text{KBr}\left(s\right)$ in water is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Water is a polar solvent. Polar solvents stabilize ions so that they effectively dissolve substances which easily dissociates into ions. Polar substances are soluble in other polar substance as like dissolves like.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If bromine gas, ${\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}\left(l\right)$ is insoluble in water.

Interpretation: The solubility of bromine gas, ${\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}\left(l\right)$ in water is to be predicted.
