Question

2. What statements can be made about the solubility of polar, non polar, and ionic solutes in non polar liquid solvents

Answer 1

On the other hand, non-polar molecules like naphthalene and anthracene dissolve in solvents like benzene and carbon tetrachloride as these are non-polar. The solubility of ionic compounds is the result of the strong electrostatic interaction between the ions of the solute and the polar molecules of the solvent.
