Which of the following molecules is most suitable to disperse benzene in water?
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
Benzene is non polar in nature. As we know that non-polar disperses more to non-polar substances. Therefore, meta-methyl nonylbenzene being nonpolar from both sides will disperse more to benzene. All other substances ( a, b and d) have either one side polar or both sides polar.
