Which of the following choices has the compounds correctly arranged in order of increasing solubility in water? (least soluble to most soluble) a) ccl4< chcl3< nano3 b) ch3oh < ch4< lif c) ch4< nano3< chcl3 d) lif < nano3< chcl3 e) ch3oh < cl2< chcl3

A) CCl4< CHCl3< NaNO3

Explanation:

answer is A

CCl4 is non polar and consequently has a very low solubility in water

CHCl3 is polar and soluble in water via London dispersion and dipole-dipole interaction  forces.

NaNO3 is an ionic compound and more soluble in water (ion-dipole interactions)

Note: A) CCl4< CHCl3< NaNO3

answer; 4 electrons;
