Which of the following substances is more likely to dissolve in CH₃OH? A)CCl₄ B)Kr C)N₂ D)CH₃CH₂OH E)H₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CH3OH is a polar solvent and can dissolve polar substances. CH3OH contains a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which is polar due to the electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen. Therefore, out of the given options, only D, which is also a polar substance (as it contains the -OH functional group), is more likely to dissolve in CH3OH. The other options (A, B, C, and E) are either not polar or do not have any polar functional group, and hence not likely to dissolve in CH3OH.
