Answer to Question #135675 in General Chemistry for Burqa

Question

You are given two solutes: CCl4 and SO2, and two organic solvents: C2H6O and C6H14. Your task is as follows:

1) Give the name and structures of the solutes. Also give the structure of the solvents.
2) Predict the polarity of the compounds. Make a diagram to show the polarity of the bonds/molecules. Explain which solvent will dissolve which solute.

Answer 1

a) CCl₄ is carbon Tetrachloride .

SO₂ Is Sulphurdioxide .

 

C₂H₆O  Is ethyl Alcohol .

 

C₆H₁₄ Is Hexane .

H₂O Is water .

b )

H₂O ( Water ) Is more Polar Than CCl₄ .

So , C₂H₆O Dissolve In H₂O Due to high polarity .

So , C₆H₁₄ Dissolve in CCl₄ due to non polar .
