How do you determine if a compound is a solid liquid or gas based on solubility?

There is no uniform constant for the solubilities of gases in liquids. Each compound has a solubility unique to itself. However, the general rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like." Water is a polar molecule, therefore it will readily dissolve polar gases such as hydrogen chloride gas (HCl). When this happens hydrochloric acid is formed. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is what is dissolved in water to yield the weak acid carbonic acid, which is also what gives soda its fizz. Because CO2 is not polar it does not dissolve in water very well. Only 0.145 grams of CO2 can be dissolved in 100 mL of water compared to HCl's 72g/100mL. Carbon dioxide would more willingly dissolve in a solvent such as benzene because benzene is nonpolar just like CO2.

What instrument would be best to determine how different oxidation states affect the mass of a carbon based compound?
a balance
What names the elements that combine to form a compound?
The chemical name of the compound is often based on the names of the elements that are part of it. However, for many simple organic compounds it is not possible to determine the component elements.
What is the molecular formula of the compound CH2 with molar mass = 42.0?
The molecular formula of a compound can not be determined solely based on its molar mass. In this case, without additional information, it is not possible to determine the molecular formula of the compound CH2.
What is the process to separate molecules from one another based on solubility called?
fumigation
Principle of partition chromatography?
Chromatography in which separation is based mainly on differences be- tween the solubility of the sample components in the stationary phase (gas chromatography), or on differences between the solubilities of the compo- nents in the mobile and stationary phases (liquid chromatography)
Why are 2 layers of liquid formed in lucas test?
The Lucas test is used to determine the number of alkyl groups present in a compound. It is based on the fact that the compound to be tested is mixed with Lucas reagent, which is a solution of anhydrous zinc chloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid. If the compound has one alkyl group, then a single layer of liquid is formed. If the compound has two alkyl groups, then two layers of liquid are formed.
How are mass calculations used?
Mass percentage calculations determine the percentage of an element based on mass in a compound. This can then be used to determine the percentage in a compound of each individual element.
Is sodium fluoride a organic or inorganic compound?
it is an organic salt but shows some properties of inorganic compound as solubility in water.
Whayt is the definition of Non halogenated volatiles?
The definition of non-halogenated volatiles is a compound where a halogen is not attached. They are mainly analysed based on their solubility in water.Ê
Is solubility a hydrogen bonding?
Based on the grammar of your question, you have no idea what solubility is. Solubility- the degree to which a substance can dissolve in a solvent(usually water). Hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force of attraction that decreases relative solubility.

What are three way that mixtures can separated?
Three ways would be Liquid liquid - distillation (separation based on boiling points) Column chromatography separates solids dissolved in eluent based on polarity Filtration (washing with a solvent that dissolves one compound and not another)
What is the process to separate molecules from one another based on solubility called?
fumigation
Is ethanol an acid based compound?
No. It's actually carbon-based and is an organic compound.
