Best Answer

If the substance is nonpolar it will not dissolve in either distilled or tap water. It will not make a solution with water. You will have to use a nonpolar solvent.

What is bromine and carbon tetrachloride?

Bromine in carbon tetrachloride is a brown-colored solution and used as a chemical test. When drops of bromine/carbon tetrachloride are added to a solution containing an unknown compound and the brown-colored bromine solution disappears, that means that the unknown compound contains carbon-carbon double bonds (since it absorbed the bromine solution). On the other hand, if the brown-colored bromine solution doesn't disappear then it means that no carbon double bonds are present. This is called a "Bromine Test."


The freezing point of a solution containing 4.12 g of unknown solute in 100 grams of camphor is 166.2 degrees C what is the freezing point depression?

f.p depression = (freezing point of pure solvent)-(freezing point of solution) -------> 178.4-166.2=12.2


How could you detect the presence of the chloride ion?

It Is determined in the flame test. A flame test is when u take the solution and put it on an object non flammable and hold it into the fire and the color of the fire will change. The test is constructed so that depending on the ions in the solution the flame with show whether It has a specific ion based on its distinctive Color.


15.00mL of 1.600M NaOH solution exactly neutralizes 20.00mL of an unknown monoprotic acid solution. Calculate the molarity of the acid solution. I got .686M... is this correct?

No, it's not correct. Liters*molarity = moles (0.015L)*(1.600moles/L) = 0.024 moles of NaOH One mole of NaOH would neutralize one mole of the MONOprotic acid, so: (0.024 moles of acid)/(0.020L) = 1.2M

An unknown substance is added to a solution and the pH increases The substance is best described as what?

The unknown substance would have to be a basic solution. At least more basic than the initial solution. The pH scale ranges from 0,Most acidic, to 14, Most Basic. If the pH of your solution increases when the unknown substance is added, then it would lead you to believe that the added substance is of a basic nature.
