Almost all the nitrates are soluble in water including potassium nitrate, but carbon tetrachloride is an organic non polar liquid so it is not soluble in water.
Non-polar substances such as fats, oils, waxes, and some organic compounds are soluble in carbon tetrachloride due to its non-polar nature. Ionic and polar substances, on the other hand, are not soluble in carbon tetrachloride.
Carbon tetrachloride is more soluble in non-polar solvents such as chloroform or carbon disulfide due to its non-polar nature. These solvents have similar chemical properties that allow for greater solubility of carbon tetrachloride compared to polar solvents.
So, you have a pile of gunpowder and you want to separate it. Right? Here's are some clues: Saltpeter (potassium nitrate) is soluble in water. Sulfur and carbon are not. Furthermore, sulfur is soluble in acetone but carbon is not. This assumes that you have pure carbon and not charcoal powder. Depending on the quality of the charcoal powder, it could be more or less soluble in different substances. But let's just take your teacher at his word: Carbon is carbon. If there is enough differential in particle size you could sift the mixture through a screen but that doesn't guarantee you'll get ALL the carbon, sulfur or saltpeter out of the mix. If the particles are all the same size that won't work at all. (OR) here is a better phrased answer: Answer: Gunpowder is a mixture of sulphur, charcoal and potassium nitrate (nitre). When water is added to the mixture potassium nitrate dissolves. The mixture is then filtered. The filtrate is potassium nitrate solution while the residue is a mixture of sulphur and charcoal. The filtrate is evaporated on a sand bath to obtain nitre back. When carbon disulphide is added to the residue, sulphur dissolves. When this mixture is filtered the filtrate is sulphur solution while the residue is charcoal. Leaving it open evaporates the sulphur solution. Carbon disulphide evaporates and sulphur crystals are left behind.
Ammonia is more soluble than carbon tetrachloride because it is polar and can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, increasing its solubility. Carbon tetrachloride, on the other hand, is a nonpolar molecule and does not have the ability to form hydrogen bonds with water, resulting in lower solubility in water.
Bromine (Br2) will be soluble in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) because both are nonpolar. Sodium nitrate (NaNO3) will be soluble in water (H2O) due to its ionic nature and the ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules; it will not dissolve in a nonpolar solvent like CCl4. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is soluble in water and will dissociate into ions, making it insoluble in a nonpolar solvent like CCl4.
Potassium nitrate is not soluble in carbon tetrachloride, so it would not dissolve. Instead, the potassium nitrate would remain as solid particles suspended in the carbon tetrachloride without chemically reacting with it.
Magnesium is not soluble in carbon tetrachloride.
When silver nitrate is added to carbon tetrachloride, the silver nitrate will not dissolve as it is insoluble in carbon tetrachloride. The two substances will remain separate, with the silver nitrate forming a precipitate at the bottom of the container.
Carbon tetrachloride does not react with silver nitrate (AgNO3) to form a white precipitate because it lacks an available chlorine atom for the reaction to occur. The reaction between carbon tetrachloride and silver nitrate would require the replacement of the chlorine atom by the silver ion from silver nitrate, but this reaction does not happen due to the unreactive nature of carbon tetrachloride.
yes it will because carbon tetracholride has more dence than sulfuric acid
Non-polar substances such as fats, oils, waxes, and some organic compounds are soluble in carbon tetrachloride due to its non-polar nature. Ionic and polar substances, on the other hand, are not soluble in carbon tetrachloride.
Nonpolar molecules, such as hydrocarbons, are generally soluble in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Polar or ionic molecules are typically not soluble in carbon tetrachloride due to the lack of polarity in the solvent.
Yes, benzene is soluble in carbon tetrachloride due to similar nonpolar properties, allowing for interaction between the benzene ring and the carbon tetrachloride molecules.
Sulfur is soluble in carbon tetrachloride.
Carbon tetrachloride is more soluble in non-polar solvents such as chloroform or carbon disulfide due to its non-polar nature. These solvents have similar chemical properties that allow for greater solubility of carbon tetrachloride compared to polar solvents.
Iodine is highly soluble in water. It is also soluble in iodine solutions, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and carbon disulphide among others.
