Cyclohexane (C6H12) is a hydrocarbon (a substance containing only carbon and hydrogen) liquid. Which of the following will most likely dissolve in cyclohexane to form a solution?CH2Cl2HINaBrCH3CH2CH2CH2CH3

Respuesta :

Answer:

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃

Explanation:

Cyclohexane is a nonpolar compound. There is a rule that states that "like dissolves like" meaning polar is soluble in polar and nonpolar is soluble in nonpolar.

CHâ‚‚Clâ‚‚. This compound is polar

HI. This compound is slightly polar (dipole moment = 0.38 D)

NaBr. This compound is ionic (great difference in electronegativity between the atoms).

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃. This compound is nonpolar, and the one that will most likely dissolve cyclohexane.
