Indicate whether water (H2O) or carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is the best solvent to dissolve each of the following substances:
CH3CH2CH2CH3 | |
CaCO3 | |
CH3(CH2)10COOH | |
HC2H3O2 | |
NaCl |
1) CH3CH2CH2CH3 ----------------------> CCl4 solvent
2) CaCO3 ----------------------> water solvent
3) CH3(CH2)10COOH ------------------------> CCl4 solvent
4) HC2H3O2----------------------> water solvent
5) NaCl----------------------> water solvent
explanation :
polar molecule will dissolve in polar solvents . non-polar molecule will dissolve in non-polar solvents
CaCO3 , NaCl ,HC2H3O2 are polar molecules these can dissolve in polar solvent water .
CH3CH2CH2CH3 , CH3(CH2)10COOH are non-polar these dissolve in non polar CCl4 solvent
