Select the solute that is likely most soluble in hexane, C6H14-​

The solute that is most likely soluble in hexane is S₈

Explanation:

S₈ is a non-polar solute that exhibits the same characteristics and properties as hexane. Following the common principle "like dissolves like"; polar compounds will be soluble in polar solvents while non-polar compounds will be soluble in non-polar solvents. As such, since S₈ is non-polar, then it will be soluble in hexane.

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
