In which solvent NaCl has maximum solubility?
Options
- AH 2 O
- BC 2 H 5 O H
- CC H 3 C O C H 3
- DC 2 H 5 O C 2 H 5
Correct answer
A. H 2 O
Step-by-step solution
NaCl is an ionic compound. Solubility of an ionic compound depends on the value of dielectric constant of the solvent. Higher the value of dielectric constant of the solvent more is the solubility of the ionic compound. Solvent H 2 O C 2 H 5 O H C H 3 C O C H 3 C 2 H 5 O C 2 H 5 Dielectric constant 80 27 21 4.1
