Interpretation: The substances which are dissolve to a significant extent in water needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The solubility of one substance in other depends on the interactions between the solvent and solute. The dissolution of a solute in solvent is based on the principle of like dissolve like. Therefore, polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents and non-polar solutes are stable in non-polar solvents.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option/s:
Water is a polar solvent thus; it will only dissolve polar solute. Thus, the substances which are polar in nature can only dissolve in water. From the given options,
Reason for incorrect option/s:
Water being a polar molecule can only dissolve polar substances. Thus, non-polar substances cannot be dissolved in water. From the given option,
