Question
Based on solute-solvent interactions, arrange the following in order of increasing solubility in n-octane and explain cyclohexane, KCl, CH3OH, CH3CN.
Solution
Answer:
n- octane is non-polar solvent therefore the solubility of a non-polar solute is more in n- octane solvent.
The order of increasing solubility is :
KCl<CH3OH<CH3CN< cyclohexane.
n- octane is non-polar solvent therefore the solubility of a non-polar solute is more in n- octane solvent.
The order of increasing solubility is :
KCl<CH3OH<CH3CN< cyclohexane.
