Interpretation:
The compound(s) that are more soluble in water has to be predicted from the following options –
Concept Introduction:
Solubility of a substance depends on various factors like – chemical structure of the substance, temperature, pH etc,
Like dissolves like is a Universal rule which states that polar compounds dissolve more in polar solvents and non-polar compounds dissolve more in non-polar compounds.
Dipole moment is the measure of polarity in polar covalent compounds.
Answer to Problem 12.1KSP
Options (a), (d) and (e) are correct answers.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answers:
The compound given in the options (a), (d) and (c) are polar compounds and so they dissolve in water which is a polar solvent.
The compound given in option (a) is methanol. It is a polar covalent compound as the
Figure 1
The compound given in option (d) is cis-1,2-dichloroethene. The
The compound given in option (e) is Potassium iodide and it is an ionic compound made of
Reasons for Incorrect answers:
The compounds given in options (
Figure 2
Though the
Therefore polarity of the compound gets cancelled.
Figure 3
The compound(s) that are more soluble in water has been predicted from the given options.

- Methane clathrate also called methane hydrate is a form of ice in which methane gas has been trapped inside the crystal structure. Methane hydrate has the formula CH4·5¾ H2O or 4CH4·23H2O. Large quantities of methane hydrate have been discovered in ocean sediments around the world. Mining these deposits to obtain methane (i.e. natural gas) has been discussed for years.
