Which of these solutes are soluble in water,CCl4, and alcohol?
NaCl,I2,Ethanol,KNO3-water Benzene,toluene-CCl4,alcohol
What is ca(oH)2 soluble in?
Water, as the OH will form a hydrogen bond with the water molecules. "Like attracts like." Christopher
Why is CCl4 insoluble in water?
The compound which is made up ionic bond can produce ions in polar solvents like water. But CCl4 is comprising of covalent bond and cannot produce ions. So it is insoluble in water.
Why is CCl4 soluble in alcohol?

Are These Substances Soluble in Water, CCl4, or Methanol?
Well you know that CCl4, I2, Ethene (C2H2), Br2, Butane (C4H10), cyclohexane, and I-Propanol are all nonpolar. Therefore they are not soluble in water. All the salts (NaCl, KNO3, etc.) are highly ionic and therefore water soluble, and the alcohols are water soluble.
Which of the following compounds should be soluble in CCl4 (Carbon Tetrachloride)?
Yes my dear friend, you are absolutely right. I must give you a advice that whenever there comes a question like this, please go as much deep as you can in the question. First you must understand the basic. Here, in this question, the basic is - the similarity between intermolecular forces. Polar compounds have different type while non polar compounds have different type of different of intermolecular forces, that is why the same type of forms fit in the similar type, hence polar dissolves in polar, while non polar in non polar.
Why is CCl4 insoluble in water while NaCl is soluble?
You mean to examine the water solubility of carbon tetrachloride and sodium chloride. Carbon tetrachloride is a molecular, and non-polar molecule….that displays little water solubility. On the other hand, sodium chloride, while non-molecular, is composed of sodium and chloride ions, that can be effectively solvated by water, the which is a polar solvent, capable of solvating both positive and negative ions.
Why is CCl4 highly soluble in n-hexane, but insoluble in water?
Because they are chemically similar. The rule of thumb when rationalising solubility is like dissolves like (or, if you prefer to look cool and quote the Latin translation, similia similibus solvuntur).The kind of interactions between like molecules such as carbon tetrachloride and n-hexane (van der Waals interactions, mainly) are comparable, therefore the former dissolves into the latter.On the other hand, a polar molecule like water cannot experience the same forces with n-hexane because they are not comparable; indeed, water is a typical solvent that works through H-bonds and dipole-dipole interactions, whose orders of magnitude are way bigger than the aforementioned vdW interactions.
Why is tetrachloride insoluble in water?
What tetrachloride? Is it carbon terachloride or silicon terachloride because the reasons are different?If it is carbon tetrachloride then the answer is as follows; CCl4 is a non - polar molecule whereas water is polar. Chemists usually make use of the following rule , “Like dissolves like” which means that a polar molecule will dissolve in a polar solvents and non-polar molecules will dissolve in non-polar solvents. What is the logic behind this? Well it has to do with intermolecular forces. The strongest intermolecular forces between CCl4 molecules are London forces and between H2O molecules are hydrogen bonds. So what will be the strongest intermolecular forces between a mixture of CCl4 and H2O if they would be mixed together? The answer will be most probably London forces although some hydrogen bonds can be formed between the lone pairs of Cl of CCl4 and the H of H2O!!! So the energy needed to break the London forces between CCl4 and hydrogen bonds between H2O molecules is simply not compensated by the energy liberated when the London forces will be formed on mixing the two compounds.
Which of these would be most soluble in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). C10H22,CH3CH2OH,NaCl, H2O or NH3?
Well, I’d say CH3CH2OH, because “ethanol” is an alcohol, and I believe the two do form a solution. I think, however, the CCl4 is the solute, not the solvent.In the reverse manner (as you asked), with ethanol as the solute, it should still work. I don’t believe NaCl is soluble because there is nowhere for the Cl- ions to bond to due to the intense dipoles. It might be released as a gas but I don’t know.C10H22 I don’t believe is soluble because “decane” is a hydrocarbon, and I don’t think those are soluble in this kind of compound.I don’t believe water is compatible.Ammonia should not be soluble because I don’t recall any sort of solubility of this with nitrogenous compounds.This is my theory. I’ve never tested this, although it would be very interesting. My best guess would be CH3CH2OH.
