Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their solubilities in chloroform: NaCl , CH ₃ OH , cyclohexane, CH ₃ CN

Options

  1. ANaCl CH ₃ CN CH ₃ OH Cyclohexane
  2. BCH ₃ OH CH ₃ CN NaCl Cyclohexane
  3. CNaCl CH ₃ OH CH ₃ CN Cyclohexane
  4. 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
