Water (H2O)
Acetone (CH3COCH3)
Methanol (CH3OH)
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH)
Hexane (C6H14)
Diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3)
Toluene (C7H8)
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)

Answer 2

I chose 4,5,6,7 as my answer and it isnt right. Those are all non polar too
1 starting at the top

Answer 3

Probably would also be a non polar solvent. Remember like dissolves like

Answer 4

Probably would be just hexane and carbon tetra chloride both of those compounds are non polar

Answer 5

I think it would also be di ethyl ether too

Answer 6

not right. toluene is non polar as well

Answer 7

Consider equal volumes (say 1 L) of a given substance in the solid, liquid, and gas phases. Arrange them in order of decreasing mass based on the trend for the average substance. If the mass difference between samples is relatively small (10% or less), rank the items as equivalent.

Answer 8

why is liquid and solid going to have the same mass. I finally got the right answer but I don't know how or why solid and liquid havve same mass

Answer 9

Yeah I had to look up the structure for that it's just a phenyl group with a methyl group. That's non polar

Answer 10

wtf it won't accpt that as an aswer...

Answer 11

this is so frustrating...
