Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their solubilities in chloroform: NaCl cyclohexane NaCl < < < Cyclohexane < < NaCl < Cyclohexane NaCl < < < Cyclohexane Cyclohexane < < < NaCl
Multiple Choice Options
- A \mathrm{NaCl}<\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CN}<\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}< NaCl < CH 3 _ CN < CH 3 _ OH < Cyclohexane
- B \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}<\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CN}<\mathrm{NaCl}< CH 3 _ OH < CH 3 _ CN < NaCl < Cyclohexane
- C \mathrm{NaCl}<\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}<\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CN}< NaCl < CH 3 _ OH < CH 3 _ CN < Cyclohexane
- D Cyclohexane <\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CN}<\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}<\mathrm{NaCl} < CH 3 _ CN < CH 3 _ OH < NaCl
Step-by-Step Verified 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
