Which one of the following substances would be the most soluble in C6H6 ? Group of answer choices CO2 all of these can dissolve C6H6 C10H22 S8 (sulfur) SiO2

C10H22

Explanation:

C6H6 is the molecular formula for Benzene. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon which is obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. Benzene is a colourless volatile liquid with a sweet smell. Its vapor is highly toxic and mildly carcinogenic. It is highly inflammable. Benzene is nonpolar which is insoluble in water. Since benzene is insoluble in water , it will take an insoluble compound to be soluble in benzene since "like dissolves like".

From the options given:

C10H22 which is the molecular formula for Decane would be the most soluble in C6H6. This is because Decane is an alkanes which is an aliphatic hydrocarbon and their physical properties increases with increasing molar mass ( i.e melting points, boiling points , density, polarity) etc. The first mfour member of the family are gases. non-polar liquid starts with th fifth member of the family which is pentane and from hexadecane onwards the members are solids at room temperature. Thus, decane is a non-polar hydrocarbon which is insoluble in water but soluble in benzene

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.

b) mutualism

hope this : )
