Interpretation:
The given solvent capable of dissolving ionic compounds is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
▸ A general rule of solubility is: like dissolves like.
▸ Polar and ionic solids are dissolved in polar solvents.
▸ Nonpolar solids are dissolved in nonpolar solvents.
▸ If a molecule has dipole moment, it is termed as polar molecule. The symmetrical molecules are non-polar because the dipole moment cancel each other.
▸ The species resistant to water or the species that are incompatible with water are termed as hydrophobic.
▸ The water loving species or the species compatible with water are termed as hydrophilic species.
▸ If the compound contains one hydrophilic group and more than six carbon atoms, then the compound is insoluble in water.
▸ Alkyl chains with high molecular weight are hydrophobic in nature.
▸ The hydroxyl group is hydrophilic in nature because it forms hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
▸ The carbonyl oxygen and hydroxyl group of
▸ A hydrogen bond is a partially electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom which is bound to more electronegative atom such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine and another atom bearing a lone pair of electron.
▸ The liquid
▸ The liquid
▸ In benzene, the bonds are polar due to the presence of electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen but the dipole moment cancel out due to the symmetrical structure of benzene. The net dipole moment is zero which makes the molecule non-polar.

- The Henry’s law constant at 25°C for nitrogen dissolved inwater is 8.57 × 104 atm, that for oxygen is 4.34 × 104 atm,and that for helium is 1.7 × 105 atm.(a) Calculate the number of moles of nitrogen and oxy-gen dissolved per liter of water in equilibrium with air at 25°C.(b) Air is dissolved in blood and other bodily luids. As adeep-sea diver descends, the pressure increases and the concentration of dissolved air in the blood increases. If the diver returns to the surface too quickly, gas bubbles out of solution within the body so rapidly that it can cause a dangerous condition called “the bends.” Use Henry’s law to show why divers some- times use a combination of helium and oxygen in their breathing tanks in place of compressed air.arrow_forwardWhat process or processes accounts for the presence of arsenic in well water?arrow_forwardSuggest an explanation for the observations that propanol, C3H7OH, is miscible with water and that tricarbon octahydride, C3H8, is not soluble in water.arrow_forward
