Determine which of thefollowing is insoluble in water. Explain each answer.
1. C6H6
2. NaCl
3. NH3
4. SrSo4
5. Mg(NO3)2
Non polar compounds are insoluble in water
polar and ionic compounds are soluble in water
lets look at each of them
1)
C6H6 is non polar.
So, it is insoluble
2)
NaCl is ionic compound formed by metal and non metal
So, it is soluble in water
It breaks into Na+ and Cl- in water
3)
NH3 is polar in nature and can also form hydrogen bond with
water
So, it is soluble
4)
SrSO4 is ionic compound formed by metal and non metal
So, it is soluble in water
It breaks into Sr2+ and SO42- in water
5)
Mg(NO3)2 is ionic compound formed by metal and non metal
So, it is soluble in water
It breaks into Mg2+ and NO3- in water
