QUESTION:

Water is a polar solvent and hexane is a nonpolar solvent. In which solvent is each of the following more likely to be soluble? a. vegetable oil, nonpolar b. benzene, nonpolar c. LiCl, ionic d. Na2SO4, ionic

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Solubility is the maximum amount of substance that can be dissolved in a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature.

The solubility of a solute in a solvent depends upon the polarity of solute and solvent. A solute is soluble in a solvent when the solvent and solute are of the same polarity.

For example, Polar substances are soluble in polar solvents, and nonpolar substances are soluble in nonpolar solvents.

It is said that, “like dissolves like”.
