question 27 of 33 which substance will form a solution when mixed with liquid benzene (c6h6)? a. mgf2(s) b. h2o(l) c. hcl(g) d. i2(l)
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall solubility principle
Like - dissolves - like. Benzene is a non - polar solvent.
Step2: Analyze each option
- Option A: $MgF_2(s)$ is an ionic compound and is polar. It will not dissolve in non - polar benzene.
- Option B: $H_2O(l)$ is a polar molecule due to its bent shape and hydrogen bonding. It will not dissolve in non - polar benzene.
- Option C: $HCl(g)$ is a polar covalent molecule. It will not dissolve in non - polar benzene.
- Option D: $I_2(l)$ is a non - polar molecule. Non - polar $I_2$ will dissolve in non - polar benzene to form a solution.
Answer:
D. $I_2(l)$
