Which one of the following substances is more likely to dissolve in benzene(c6h6)? a) naclb) ccl4c) nh3d) ch3ch2ohe) ehbr

B. CCl₄

Explanation:

Solubility is determined by the principle , "like dissolves like" .

i.e. , if a compound is polar then it will dissolve in a polar compound only , and

if a compound is non - polar then it will dissolve in a non - polar compound only .

Hence , from the question ,

Benzene is a non - polar compound , i.e. does not separate out into poles , and hence , it will get dissolved into the CCl₄ , as it is too non - polar in nature , according to the above theory of solubility.

Hence, from the question,

Benzene will dissolve in CCl₄ .

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
