toluene is one hydrogen of benzene is replaced by CH3.
means it has 7 carbon atoms.
but, chloroform CHCl3.
means it has only 1 carbon atom.
as no.of carbons increases non-polar nature increases,as water is a polar solvent it dissolves only polar substances .
So, chloroform is more soluble than toluene.
means it has 7 carbon atoms.
but, chloroform CHCl3.
means it has only 1 carbon atom.
