Five different substances are given to you to be dissolved in water. which substances are most likely to undergo dissolution in water? a) octane. b) potassium bromide. c) sodium bromide. d) lithium chloride. e) heptane.

b) c) and d)

Explanation:

a) octane. Organic, does not mix with water or form aqueous solution in water insoluble in water

b) potassium bromide. Easily mixes with water soluble in water

c) sodium bromide. Easily mixes with water soluble in water

d) lithium chloride. Easily mixes with water soluble in water

e) heptane. Organic, does not mix with water or form aqueous solution in water insoluble in water

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
