Marjorie is trying to determine the identity of an unknown substance. After running tests, she determines that the substance is insoluble in CCl4 with a density of about 2.2 g/mL. Substance Density Boiling Point Solubility (in water) Solubility (in CCl4) NaCl 2.165 g/mL 1413°C soluble insoluble C10H8 1.14 g/mL 255°C insoluble soluble FeCl3 2.898 g/mL 315°C soluble insoluble SiO2 2.634 g/mL 2590°C insoluble insoluble Using the data above, which of the following substances is most likely Marjorie's unknown? A. FeCl3 B. NaCl C. SiO2 D. C10H8

Marjorie's unknown substance is sodium chloride NaCl.

The substance is insoluble in CCl₄. The density of the substance is 2.2 g/mL.

Solubility:

The fact that the chemical is insoluble in CCl₄ (tetrachloromethane), as indicated in the statement, indicates that the substance is polar in nature. Only C₁₀H₈ of the choices is soluble in CCl₄ since they are both non-polar by nature and related substances dissolve similarly. C₁₀H₈ is therefore disregarded.

Density:

There are now only three possibilities left. SiO₂, FeCl₃, and NaCl. The student discovered that the material has a density of 2.20 g/ ml. This is quite similar to sodium chloride's density (i.e., 2.165 g/mL). As a result, sodium chloride is most likely the material the student is working with.
