- #24Based
on solute-solvent interactions, arrange the following in order of
increasing solubility in n-octane and explain. Cyclohexane, KCl,
CH3OH,
CH3CN.Ans : n-octane is a
non-polar solvent. Therefore, the solubility of a non-polar solute is
more than that of a polar solute in the n-octane.
The order of increasing
polarity is:
Cyclohexane < CH3CN
< CH3OH < KCl
Therefore, the order of
increasing solubility is:
KCl < CH3OH
< CH3CN < Cyclohexane
