Question

Considering factors that affect that solubility which statement below true?

*With a few exceptions, the solubility of most solid solutes in water decreases as the solution temperature increases.

*The solubility of gases in water increases with increasing temperature.

*The solubility of a gas in any solvent is increased as the partial pressure of the gas above the solvent Increases.

*Substances with similar intermolecular attractive forces tend to be insoluble in one another.

Part B

Which of these is the best solvent for nonpolar solutes?

* acetone (CH3COCH3)

*ethanol (CH3CH2OH)

*hexane (C6H14)

*water

Answer 1

The solubility of gases in water increases with increasing temperature. The solubility of a gas in any solvent is increased as the partial pressure of the gas above the solvent increases. Hexane (C6H14) is the best solvent for nonpolar solutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'The solubility of gases in water increases with increasing temperature' is true.

The solubility of gases in a solvent is increased as the partial pressure of the gas above the solvent increases.

For nonpolar solutes, hexane (C6H14) is the best solvent.
