Question

Liquid A is NOT soluble in liquid B. Which statement(s) support this observation?

Answer 1

Liquid A is not soluble in liquid B because the two liquids do not mix or form a homogeneous solution. This can be observed if bubbles of gas are present in the mixture, indicating it is not a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Liquid A is not soluble in liquid B because the two liquids do not mix or form a homogeneous solution. This can be observed if bubbles of gas are present in the mixture, indicating it is not a solution. As a result, liquid A and liquid B do not have strong interactions with each other.

Answer 2

The statement "The intermolecular forces between molecules of B are much stronger than those between molecules of A and B." support the observation that liquid A is not soluble in liquid B

Why is this correct?

The observation that "Liquid A is NOT soluble in liquid B" implies that the intermolecular forces between molecules of A and B are insufficient for their blending or dissolution.

Additionally, it suggests that the intermolecular forces within Liquid B outweigh those between molecules of A and B, thereby preventing the dissolving of A in B.

Complete question:

Liquid A is NOT soluble in liquid B. Which statement(s) support this observation?

a The strength of the intermolecular forces between molecules of A are similar in strength to those between molecules of A and B.

b The intermolecular forces between molecules of B are much stronger than those between molecules of A and B.

c The intermolecular forces between molecules of A are similar in strength to those between molecules of B.
