Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their solubilities in chloroform: NaCl , CH ₃ OH , cyclohexane, CH ₃ CN
Options
- ANaCl CH ₃ CN CH ₃ OH Cyclohexane
- BCH ₃ OH CH ₃ CN NaCl Cyclohexane
- CNaCl CH ₃ OH CH ₃ CN Cyclohexane
- DCyclohexane CH ₃ CN CH ₃ OH NaCl
Correct answer
A. NaCl CH ₃ CN CH ₃ OH Cyclohexane
Step-by-step solution
Since CHCl ₃ is an organic solvent so, covalent (non-polar) compounds will be more soluble in it. As the dipole moment of solute increases, solubility in chloroform decreases. Hence increasing order of solubility. NaCl CH ₃ CN CH ₃ OH Cyclohexane
