Question

Fill in the blanks: lodine is [answer1] in pentane because they are both [answer2] (type) compounds KCI has a boiling point of 1420°C and acetic acid has a lower boiling point of 116.2°C because the [answer3] bonds holding KCI together are [answer4] than the [answer5] bonds which hold acetic acid molecules to one another.

Answer 1

Answer: soluble

nonpolar

ionic

stronger

hydrogen

Answer 2

answer1 = soluble

answer2 = nonpolar

answer3 = ionic

answer4 = stronger

answer5 = hydrogen

Step-by-step explanation:

(answer1) Iodine is a solid and pentane is a liquid, so the answer is probably related to solubility

(answer2) Both iodine and pentane are nonpolar, which is a property that affects the solubility of the first in the second

(answer3,4, 5) Boiling point is related to the forces within a substance. The strongest forces in KCl are ionic bonds, which are stronger than the temporary hydrogen bonds in acetic acid.
