The dissolution of water in octane (C₈H₁₈)is principally prevented by ________. A)London dispersion forces between octane molecules B)hydrogen bonding between water molecules C)dipole-dipole attraction between octane molecules D)ion-dipole attraction between water and octane molecules E)repulsion between like-charged water and octane molecules

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary reason water does not dissolve in octane is due to the strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules, which makes it energetically unfavorable for water molecules to interact with nonpolar octane molecules.
