Select ALL! the solutes below that would be soluble in a polar solvent (like water). A. K2SO4

B. CO2

C. NH3

D. HOCI

E Cu

F. HCI

G. H2

H. CH20

I. SF2

J. CH3NH2

K. SiCl4

L. AgCl

K2SO4, NH3, HOCI, HCI, CH3NH2,  SiCl4, CO2, CH20

Explanation:

Substances are soluble in water when they are ionic or polar covalent substances.

If we look at the substances listed, K2SO4 is ionic while  NH3, HOCI, HCI, CH3NH2,  SiCl4, CO2, CH20 all contain polar covalent bonds which accounts for their water solubility.

Hence ionic and polar covalent substances are soluble in a polar solvent such as water.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
