Joelle is a manager at a construction company, and she is interested in the chemistry behind the materials they use. She has begun studying the materials used to fill walls. She knows that to keep the temperature inside a room steady the material must be a thermal insulator, and she predicts that materials should not be acidic or else they would dissolve too easily in water. Which is most likely a molecule in a wall-filling material? C6H6 Na6Ba6 NeNa HCl

The only compound in the given options that is not soluble in water at normal condition is benzene (C₆H₆).

The material used in the wall-filling cannot be acidic or acidic salts. Acids and acidic salts have the tendency to dissolve in water.

An acid salt is a type of salt that can produce an acidic solution when it dissolves in water or other solvents.

In given compounds we can eliminate the possible acids and acid salts or water soluble compounds.

  • compounds of sodium are soluble in water (eliminate Na₆Ba₆ and NeNa)
  • Hcl is acid which will dissolve in water

Thus, the only compound in the given options that is not soluble in water at normal condition is benzene (C₆H₆).
