Question
Based on solute-solvent interactions, arrange the following in order of increasing solubility in n-octane and explain. Cyclohexane, KCl, CH3OH, CH3CN.
✓
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.
The order of increasing solubility is:
KCl < CH3OH < CH3CN < cyclohexane.
