Question

name the physical states of solute and solvent in the solution of iodine in ccl4 at room temperature

Answer 1

Answer:- Iodine is solid and $CCl_4$ is liquid.

Explanations:- It says iodine in $CCl_4$ that means iodine is the solute and carbon tetrachloride is the solvent. Both $I_2$ and $CCl_4$ are the non polar molecules and so London dispersion forces are present in these. These forces becomes stronger as the molar mass increases.

Molar mass increases as we move down in a group. Since iodine is down in it's group and it's molar mass is also high, the forces becomes stronger and it is a solid.

carbon tetrachloride molar mass is much less than iodine means it has comparatively weaker forces and so it is more likely to be a liquid.

So, Iodine is solid and $CCl_4$ is liquid.
