Calcium chloride and magnesium sulfate are common drying agents. What type of solvent should be dried with calcium chloride, and what type with magnesium sulfate

The type of solvent that should be dried with calcium chloride is esters while magnesium sulfate is diethyl ether

Explanation:

Drying agents are mainly hygroscopic substances that has the ability to absorb water on exposure to the atmosphere but not enough to form solutions. They are used in desiccators. Examples of drying agents include:

--> CALCIUM CHLORIDE: This is a compound of calcium that is found in soil water and sea water. It is prepared by the action of dilute hydrochloric acid on calcium trioxocarbonate(IV). The anhydrous salt is used in drying a wide variety of solvent including esters.

--> MAGNESIUM SULFATE: This is a slightly acidic drying agent. It works well in solvents like diethyl ether. It is a fast drying agent because it comes as a fine powder with a large surface area.

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
